Realme will launch its first Snapdragon 888-powered smartphone in the first quarter of 2021. Yesterday, the president of Realme in China confirmed that it will be part of a new series of smartphones in the home market. While the rumor mill speculated that it could come with the Ace brand, the company today confirmed that its first SD888 phone will be called the Realme Koi.
Koi is an ornamental house fish that is mostly known for its color and beauty. Koi fish means good luck in Chinese and Japanese culture. Hence, it looks like the Realme Koi phone will have an incredibly attractive design and could be available in vibrant colors.
Realme has created a dedicated profile for the Realme Koi phone on Weibo. The company is expected to use the profile to share more information about the Koi phone with a Snapdragon 888 processor.
Based on recent reports, the Realme Koi phone is codenamed Race and its model number is RMX2022. The phone comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. It will come preloaded with Android 11 OS based on Realme UI 2.0.
There is no word about the front design of the Realme Koi phone. A leaked snapshot that GSMArena showed earlier this month that the glass back of the phone has curved edges. The back of the phone houses four cameras housed inside a circular camera module, as well as an elongated LED flash.
The device may be equipped with a fingerprint reader built into the display. It remains to be seen if it supports the 125W UltraDart fast charging technology that was announced in July.
