If we talk about its Pro variant, then the 6.3-inch device has a 1080 x 2340 pixel resolution. Under the hood, you get an octa-core Qualcomm SDM712 Snapdragon 712 chipset with Adreno 616 as the GPU.

All these features are supported by a 4035 mAh battery that comes with 20W fast charging. Out of the box, the device was launched with Android 9.0 Pie and has since received the Realme UI update based on Android 10.
However, if for some reason the latest update didn’t manage to live up to the expectations and you wish to revert to the previous Android build. Then there is some good news in store for you.

This package is released and available for Indian users only.
