Realme 3i set to be launched on July 15 alongside RealmeX, will go on sale via Flipkart

The hype is real around the Realme X, which is set to be launched in India on July 15 and is expected to take on the Redmi K20 Pro, the OnePlus 7 Pro and the Honor 20 Pro in the country. But, surprisingly, this won't be the only Realme smartphone that will arrive in the country on Monday. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer is also set to launch the Realme 3i, probably a lite variant of the Realme 3, on the same day. Even though Realme is yet to confirm the launch the date of this budget smartphone, Flipkart has posted a teaser of the same on its website, calling it 'Smartphones Ka Champion'.

The teaser promotes the smartphone as most stylish champion, big battery champion, display champion and camera champion. It doesn't reveal the specs, price or launch date but confirms that the Realme 3i will also go on sale via Flipkart, just like the Realme X. However, Zee Business has learnt that both the smartphones will be launched on the same date. 

Earlier, the Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth in a tweet, had also asked fans to guess the number of products that they are going to launch on July 15. "See you coming Monday, with our next #DareToLeap product, By the way, any guesses on how many products we are launching?#mondaymotivation #leaptopremium," Sheth had tweeted.

If the Realme 3i is indeed the lite variant of the Realme 3, it will be priced less than the original model. The Realme 3 comes with a MediaTek Helio P70 chipset and is powered by a 4,230mAh battery.
