Earlier this month, realme X7 Pro 5G got India’s BIS certification hinting at a launch. Following this, a few days back, realme India CEO Madhav Sheth confirmed that the realme X7 series will launch next year in India. And now, the realme X7 non-Pro variant has been spotted on India’s BIS website.

A realme smartphone, as reported by Root MyGalaxy(via GSMArena) appears on India’s BIS certification website. It has a model number RMX2176 under ‘REALME’. Now, if we recall, a device with the same model number visited TENAA back in August before the realme X7 series launch in China. The device later turned out to be the realme X7 5G.

That said, although Madhav mentioned a 2021 launch, he didn’t exactly give us a time frame. But, the latest listing suggests that the device might break cover very soon in India maybe in January. Besides, after looking at the BIS listing, one would expect that the device is indeed the realme X7 5G for India. But there is a possibility that realme might tweak it a bit.

This is because, if you take the realme 7 5G that recently launched in Europe, it is a realme V5 5G from China but with realme X7’s SoC and different display refresh rate(90Hz vs 120Hz). Hence, it is possible that realme might change something on the Indian variant too to differentiate it more from the ‘Pro’ variant. Anyway, since it’s too early to speculate anything, let’s brush up on the specs of realme X7 5G.

realme X7 5G Specifications

The realme X7 5G that launched in China back in September, features a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz punch-hole display, MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC, 64MP sensor equipped quad-camera, 32MP selfie shooter, 4,300mAh battery with 65W SuperDart Charging.

Other features include SA/NSA 5G, GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.1, in-display fingerprint sensor, Superlinear speaker, Hi-Res Audio, 6/8GB LPDDR4x RAM, 128GB UFS 2.1 storage.

realme CEO Madhav Sheth has already hinted at the arrival of the realme X7 series smartphones to India. Following it, the X7 Pro 5G has hit India’s BIS certification along with others like NBTC, NCC hinting at a Global launch. Now, Anku Jain, MD, MediaTek India, hints that the X7 series might be the only Dimensity SoC Powered devices for India in 2020.

Anku Jain has given an exclusive interview to TechRadar. In that, he has brushed upon topics like MediaTek’s evolution, Dimensity SoCs, the future of 5G in India, and more. Regarding Dimensity SoCs, he says that the company is getting very good traction in China. This is evident with its staggering 61.2% YoY surge in September revenue report.

However, the Dimensity SoCs haven’t managed to break the barriers elsewhere. The company only recently announced the MediaTek Dimensity 1000C 5G SoC in the United States. Besides, Anku Jain notes that the company requires OEM partners’ support for Dimensity SoCs to flourish in countries like India. The reason for the delay of Dimensity SoCs is reportedly due to the delay in 5G rollout, perception of the companies, and their outlook on the market.

That said, regarding the Dimensity partnerships, he says the company is working with a lot of partners. And expects to see few phones before 2020 ends. In fact, when asked about the realme X7 Pro topic, he has hinted at a few things here. He expects the company’s existing 4G partners like Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo. And realme to launch the devices soon.

However, when asked if we would see other brands bring Dimensity SoCs this year, he hints that it might happen only in 2021. This suggests that the realme X7 series, if they launch as expected in December, will be the only smartphones in India with Dimensity SoC this year. Accordingly, realme X7 5G features Dimensity 800U SoC while the X7 Pro 5G has Dimensity 1000+. Anyway, it looks like realme is going to pull the trigger for the wave of Dimensity-powered devices in India.
