The Realme 11 is coming to finally join its Pro siblings on the Indian market soon. However, the former China-only Android smartphone might be overshadowed by a more novel X variant that will also launch during the brand's 5th Anniversary event. It is touted to deliver a "Double Leap" in terms of design with a high-res rear camera with "Double Speed" SuperVOOC charging, as well as a "world-first" setting for its 5G connectivity.

Update: The Realme 11x has now been unleashed with a new, up to 2.2GHz Dimensity 6100+ SoC to go with its new design. The new 6.72-inch 120Hz "Dynamic Ultra Smooth" display smartphone has been released with 33W charging despite earlier hints at double that rate - then again, it might be exclusive to the well-hyped gold SKU that has yet to emerge alongside its Purple Dawn and Midnight Black siblings.

They start at INR 13,999 (~US$169) with 6GB of RAM, or 15,999 (~US$194) for an 8GB top-end model, although both have 128GB of internal storage. The 11x will be released on August 30, 2023 via realme.com/in.

Original Article: Some Realme fans in India may have wondered where the vanilla 11 got to when its Pro and Pro+ siblings made their 2023 debut in the country. However, it seems the smartphone is on the way after all, as part of the upcoming 5th Anniversary event.

Furthermore, Realme has announced the launch of an apparently completely different additional smartphone on that date. The brand claims to have "doubled" its usual amount of "R&D investment" to develop a new "Glory Halo Design" camera hump that might put many Android fans most in mind of the OnePlus 11.

Unlike that flagship, however, the new device clearly has just 2 rear shooters - although 1 is touted to have "double the industry's HD & Night Shot Quality", an argument seemlngly based on the fact it is 108MP rather than 50MP. It also has 3x zoom, although whether that value pertains to an optical or digital mode remains to be seen.

Realme has also equipped the smartphone's 5,000mAh battery with 67W SuperVOOC charging, about double that of a certain competitor. The brand also asserts that it will introduce the "World's 1st Low-Power 5G Hotspot" to its market.

Despite its looks, the new device is a member of the 11 series. Realme will announce full specs and pricing for it and its vanilla sibling on August 23, 2023.
