Realme X2 Pro, Realme 5s price in India (expected)

Realme X2 Pro and Realme 5s pricing and availability will be confirmed at the event today. If we were to speculate, then the Realme X2 Pro pricing should be in the same bracket as its China prices. As mentioned, the phone was launched in China last month, and its price starts at CNY 2,699 (roughly Rs. 27,200) for the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage configuration, while the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option is priced at CNY 2,899 (roughly Rs.29,200) and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant carries a price tag of CNY 3,299 (roughly Rs. 33,200). The phone went on sale in White and Blue colour options with a gradient finish on top. There is no clarity on which RAM + storage configurations or colour options will launch in India.

Coming to the Realme 5s, it could be priced somewhere in between the Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro, given that it integrates the same processor as the Realme 5, but its quad camera setup has a 48-megapixel sensor – just like the Realme 5 Pro. To recall, Realme 5 Pro price starts at Rs. 13,999 for the base 4GB + 64GB variant. The 6GB + 64GB and 8GB + 128GB variants of the phone retail at Rs. 14,999 and Rs. 16,999, respectively. Similarly, the Realme 5 price starts at Rs. 9,999 for the 3GB + 32GB storage variant. The 4GB + 64GB variant of the phone costs Rs. 10,999 and the 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant carries a price tag of Rs. 11,999. The Realme 5s should probably be priced slightly lesser than the Realme 5 Pro, but slightly more than the Realme 5. It is important to reiterate that this is pure speculation from our end.

Because the Realme X2 Pro has already been launched in China, the phone's specifications are already known.

Realme 5s specifications (expected and teased)

Starting with confirmed specifications via teasers, the Realme 5s is teased to sport a 6.51-inch HD display with a waterdrop-style notch.

The phone is teased to sport a rear fingerprint sensor, a diamond-cut back panel finish, and come in a Red colour option at least.

A recent Geekbench listing tips the phone to pack 4GB RAM and up to 128GB storage option. If we are to speculate once again, the sensor setup at the back will most likely be similar to the one on the Realme 5 Pro – a 48-megapixel primary camera, a wide-angle lens, a depth sensor, and a macro lens.
