Realme Q With Quad Rear Cameras Launched in China, Is a Rebranded Realme 5 Pro

After weeks of dropping teasers, Realme has finally launched the Realme Q in China. Realme Q, despite the name pointing towards an entirely new series of phones, is actually a rebranded version of the Realme 5 Pro that was launched in India last month. The Realme Q packs quad rear cameras and is powered by the Snapdragon 712 AIE. The phone has been launched in a total of three memory variants and two colour options and is already up for pre-orders in China.

Realme Q price

Realme Q's base 4GB + 64GB variant has been priced at CNY 998 (roughly Rs. 10,000) in China. The phone's 6GB + 64GB variant carries a price tag of CNY 1,198 (roughly Rs. 12,000), while the top-end 8GB + 128GB version has been priced a CNY 1,298 (roughly Rs. 15,000) in China. The price of the last two variants mentioned above is introductory, and will go up by CNY 100 (roughly Rs. 1,000) soon. The Realme Q can be picked up in Light Green and Light Blue colours in China starting September 9 from the company's official website, JingDong Mall, Suning, and TMall.
