Realme's next-gen premium mid-range Android smartphones are on the way, according to a new leak - and they're bringing the brand's current flagship camera hump with them. One of them even seems to contain the GT5 Pro's headlining periscope zoom lens, although both might have the same display and battery.

Realme's new #NoPeriscopeNoFlagship launch campaign is thought to bring the GT5 Pro to India - however, the tagline nearly could virtually pertain to the devices the brand has just been caught submitting to the TENAA and MIIT regulators in China.

There are two of them (the RMX3841 and RMX3843), both of which seem to be finished in midline-striped vegan leather in either red or light gray. The former seems to have almost the exact same camera hump as the GT5 Pro, right down to the powerful periscope zoom lens in the lower left corner.

TENAA also reveals that this RMX3841 does indeed have a 64MP rear shooter to go with 2 others of 50MP and 8MP in resolution. Its RMX3843 sibling, by contrast, has a 50+32+8MP set-up for its own round camera island, which also seems to have its own exclusive "20X" spec.

On that note, Realme seems to have upgraded these humps to bulge outward slightly rather than protrude outright like that of the GT5 Pro: a design upgrade possibly made to render the new devices a little more compact.

On that note, the new pair of smartphones are thought to launch as successors to the 11 Pro and Pro+, not merely due to their appearance and camera specs but to the fact that both upcoming handsets are certified with the same 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 6-16GB RAM/128GB-1TB storage SKUs and 4,880mAh batteries (probably to be rounded up to 5,000mAh for marketing purposes) as the 2023 sub-flagship smartphones.

Accordingly, these "12 Pro-series" devices might debut in China, followed by regions such as India and Europe, sometime soon.
