The company, which happens to be the fastest-growing smartphone vendor, posted a picture of Realme India and Europe CEO Madhav Sheth holding what’s surely the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G.
Our CEO @MadhavSheth1 is here with his Tech Squad where our #realmeCommunity members will use and review our #Narzobyrealme smartphones before the launch.

Teaser of the upcoming Narzo phone
The look of the unit is consistent with the design of a Realme device teased on Twitter and seen in a poster at a store in India. The latter shows it is indeed a Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G — and it boasts a MediaTek Dimensity 800U processor and a 120Hz screen. Beside it is a handset with a square camera module on the back, and it’s apparently called the Narzo 30A. Surprisingly, there’s no mention of a Narzo 30.
The epitome of performance is back to make you #FeelThePower again.

Poster revealing that there are two members of the next generation of Narzo lineup (at least initially): the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G and the Realme Narzo 30A
Take note also that the said unit has been spotted on the website of Chinese certification authority TENAA. But there, it’s only listed as the Realme RMX3161. The listing states that the mobile features a 6.5-inch, punch-hole LCD; a quad-camera system on the rear; and a 4,880mAh battery. It could come with 65-watt SuperDart fast charging and run Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 out of the box. Some say it might be a rebranded Realme 7 5G.

Because of a tweet posted by Sheth a few days ago, it’s believed the Realme Narzo 30 5G will be launched as the brand’s cheapest 5G phone in India — even cheaper than the Realme X7 5G, which is priced at ₹19,999 (around P13,301 in Philippine pesos and $275 in U.S. dollars).
We made 5G smartphones affordable by launching the #realmeX7 at less than 20K.

Should we make 5G smartphones even more economical?

Could this mean that the Narzo 30 Pro is a more affordable 5G phone than the X7?
