The smartphone will initially only come to India, but that could undoubtedly change if there is a lot of demand for it. Moreover, it seems like a harbinger of what Realme plans to do with its smartphone batteries in general in the future. In any case, according to Realme, this smartphone will last 3.5 days.

The smartphone also really functions as a power bank, because it supports reverse charging, which allows you to charge another device with 27 watts of power, such as another smartphone or your earbuds, for example.
It is not the thinnest phone on the market, but with a weight of 218 grams, it is not extremely heavy. This is mainly because newer battery technology is used. We see it in many Chinese phones right now: the silicon-carbon battery. The big advantage of these batteries is that they can accommodate more capacity within the same surface area. As a result, OPPO and OnePlus phones have 7,000 mAh batteries that last at least two days. https://youtube.com/shorts/_2sUQJDYIEk?si=3mQwYLDMCjDmJz5q

What is striking is that brands from other countries have not yet dared to use this type of battery. Sometimes this is because innovation is happening too fast compared to the production and development of a new device, but also because it may not be reliable enough. In any case, Realme is going for it with this smartphone.
The phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, which isn’t the best of the best, but it does what it’s supposed to do. The phone has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. In terms of cameras, you can expect a 50-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, which is quite modest. Realme promises 3 years of operating system updates and 4 years of security updates, which is not very long, but not extremely short either.
No matter how impressive it is in terms of battery life, this smartphone is more midrange when it comes to many other specifications. Anyway, it only costs about 250 euros. It will likely become more expensive if it comes to the Netherlands, but this smartphone is not a premium device. It does seem to be an extremely useful smartphone to have, for example during camping adventures, where you can also use it as a flashlight for longer than many other smartphones.
