In the month of August, Realme officially
upgraded its budget smartphone lineup with the launch of new Realme 5 and
Realme 5 Pro smartphones. And now it seems that the company is preparing for
Realme 6. Recently, a video that shows the leaked retail box has surfaced on
YouTube.
The retail box has two main features
mentioned in it. It’s a Realme 6 retail box. There is a possibility that the
Realme 6 Pro may also launch alongside the Realme 6 smartphone, but as of now
there’s no news about the Realme 6 Pro. So, let’s talk about the Realme 6.
As can be seen in these pictures, the
Realme 6 retail box reveals that the device will have a Penta-lens camera setup
and it will be powered by the Snapdragon 710 processor.
First, let’s talk about the processor that will power the upcoming Realme 6. Snapdragon 710 is an octa-core high-performance mid-range 64-bit ARM LTE chip. This chip was introduced in mid-2018. So, it’s a bit old for 2020 standards.
This chip is fabricated on Samsung’s 10nm LPE process. The 710 features six Kryo 360 Silver high-efficiency cores operating at 1.7 GHz along with two high-performance Kryo 360 Gold operating at 2.2 GHz.
The Snapdragon 710 integrates
the Adreno 616 GPU operation at 500 MHz and features an X15 LTE
modem. It’s a good upgrade from Snapdragon 665 which powered the Realme 5
smartphone. So we can expect good performance from the upcoming Realme 6.
As it’s a non-pro variant, the decision of
the company going with snapdragon 710 makes sense. Realme 6 Pro will have a
more powerful processor than Snapdragon 710.
Now let’s talk about the second feature that is the Penta-lens camera setup. So, recently Xiaomi launched its first smartphone with Penta camera setup, the Mi Note 10 which is a global variant of Mi CC9 Pro which was launched in China.
The Penta camera setup provides so much
functionality, which results in better photography experience. Realme 5 was one
of the first smartphones from Realme to sport a quad-camera setup and it looks
like the upcoming Realme 6 will be one of the first realme smartphones to rock
a Penta camera setup.
This Penta-lens camera might include a main
primary sensor, a telephoto sensor, a wide-angle sensor, a portrait sensor, and
a macro sensor. There is no further information regarding the details of the
camera sensors.
