- Realme teased the specifications for its 2021 flagships in the first quarter.
- The Race Pro will boast a 160Hz screen, a Snapdragon 888 and 125W fast charging.
- The X9 Pro uses a 120Hz screen, a Dimensity 1200 and 65W charging.
Realme is ready to show more than one teaser image for its 2021 flagship phones. The company offered early specifications for both the Realme Race Pro (shown above) and Realme X9 Pro, both promising latest technology.
The Realme Race Pro will especially center around a 6.8-inch, 1440p OLED screen with a refresh rate of 160Hz. Fast displays like these are still very rare – even Asus has hidden the 160Hz mode of ROG Phone 3. You can also expect performance in other areas, including a Snapdragon 888 chip, up to 12 GB of low-power DDR5 memory, 125 W fast charging and a 5,000 mAh battery. You have between 128 GB and 512 GB of storage.
Although the Realme X9 Pro will not be as powerful, it still needs to break new ground as one of the first phones to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 chip from MediaTek. You can also expect a 6.4-inch, 1080p OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 256 GB of storage, a 4500 mAh battery and 65 W of charging.

Oddly enough, the bottom phone will win in terms of pure camera resolution. The Realme Race Pro will feature a 64MP main agent sensor, in addition to two 13MP secondary cameras, while the X9 Pro will swap the main camera for a 108MP shooter. Image quality is of course a different story – we would not be surprised if the Race Pro finally takes better photos.
Both phones have a release date in the first quarter of 2021 and have the Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0. The company did not disclose price points for any new model.
It will not be surprising if other 2021 Android phones match or beat what Realme offers with the Race Pro and X9 Pro. It is safe to say that they are powerful, and together with the Galaxy S21 and Mi 11 they will set the tone for what you can expect during the year.
