To recap
Consider what’s on offer for its €399/£349 asking price - Qualcomm SD855 Plus, in-screen fingerprint, quad cameras including 64MP main unit, all-glass coating design, 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen - and the first true flagship from Realme is quite astonishing. It’ll have some small issues to address - no optical stabilisation or night mode in cameras, plus the confidence with software, and perhaps a resistance to the obscure brand name - but otherwise we’re looking at an incoming new generation of the affordable flagship.
