In addition to the annual iterative upgrade in specs, The company is also bumping up the Realme price with this year’s Realme 6 series, as per the official sources. The Realme 6 and Realme 6 Pro is scheduled for launch tomorrow, but since the company has teased the key specifications, we have a good ‘feel’ for what to expect from this year’s lineup.
Realme is introducing some high-end features with the Realme 6 Pro, and the company’s CMO, Francis Wang, revealed that with these flagship-tier specifications, Realme would be ‘redefining’ its portfolio and pricing.
From the pricing perspective, realme 6 is not a successor of realme 5. Our product portfolio has been redefined. #realme6 is our new pro. Hope this clarifies price part. 👆

He further explained in his tweet that unlike its predecessors, the 6 Pro is the ‘new Pro,’ in the fact that it won’t succeed last year’s Realme 5 in terms of starting price. To us, that strongly indicates that Realme 6 will be a premium offering with a premium price tag.
The revisited pricing model makes sense in the context of the upgraded hardware that Realme has picked for the series. The display will embed a pill-shaped dual-camera (in the Pro edition) and offer a higher-than-standard 90Hz refresh rate. The standard variant will also lop off last year’s dew-drop notch in favor of a solitary punch-hole design.
Further, you’re looking at a substantial improvement in camera performance, at least on paper. The secondary in-display camera is an ultra-wide-angle shooter, designed to fit more pixels in your selfies. Both Realme 6 and Realme 6 Pro promise a quad-camera setup, with a high-definition 64MP main camera that lets you zoom up to 20x for clear close-up shots.
Details surrounding the SoC and memory configurations are based on leaks alone. And as per those tips, the vanilla Realme 6 is to be powered by a MediaTek Helio G90 chip while the ‘Pro’ model will run on a Snapdragon 720G platform with up to 8GB of RAM onboard. And to power up the battery (whose capacity is yet to be revealed), the duo will utilize 30W flash charge.
As far as the Realme prices are concerned, we expect the Realme 6 to start from Rs. 39,999, and Realme 6 Pro to go for Rs. 45,999.
