The Realme Race is shaping up to be one of the company's most ambitious phones yet, teased as a flagship built around the Snapdragon 888 5G processor. Realme has confirmed the chip but has stayed quiet on full specifications, so most of what we know comes from leaks. Here is what those early reports suggest about the device and why it matters.
Realme has been launching new smartphones at a rapid pace. A few days ago the company announced it would release the world's first flagship powered by the Snapdragon 888 5G processor, and it has since teased a handset under the 'Race' codename running that same chip. No official details about its specs or features have been shared yet.
Realme Race specifications from the leaks
According to a report by GSM Arena, the Realme Race will come with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. On the software side, the phone is expected to run Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11.
A photo in the leaked report points to a glossy back panel housing four rear cameras inside a circular camera module. Nothing is confirmed until Realme makes it official.
