Phone companies collaborating with other companies and organizations aren't new. Sometimes this is done for a promotional event, like an upcoming movie, to celebrate a certain anniversary, and so on. In Realme's case, the company has collaborated with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for the upcoming Realme 13 Pro series.

The handset is expected to be announced soon, but the company has teased some of the color options that will be available. This includes a Monet Purple and Monet Gold finish. As the name implies, these colors have been inspired by the legendary French painter and artist, Claude Monet.

According to Realme, the Monet Gold model is "inspired by Monet's golden haystacks under sunlight, where the hues radiate warmth and tranquility". As for the Monet Purple option, this color "reflects the serene beauty of blooming water lilies, which embodies elegance and vitality".

In addition to these Monet-inspired colors, the upcoming Realme 13 Pro series will also feature design elements like Miracle Shining Glass and Sunrise Halo. This will create effects like "shimmering particles" that showcase the "dynamic interplay of light and shadow found in Monet's works". We're not sure how the phones will look like in real life, but if you're an art lover, then these designs could be worth looking forward to.

The Realme brand has been great when it comes to putting out value for money smartphones. If you're shopping on a budget and want a phone that has a good price to performance ratio, then you might want to keep an eye out for the upcoming Realme GT 6 smartphone.

This is according to Sky Li, the Founder and CEO of realme, who teased the upcoming launch of the Realme GT 6. While specs of the phone remain a mystery, one of the features that users can look forward to is AI. The CEO has teased that the handset will come with "cutting-edge" AI tech.

The use of AI is also expected to help with imaging functions on the phone, presumably in terms of photo editing, as well as daily efficiency tasks. It will be interesting to see what Realme has cooked up, especially in the face of competition from the likes of Google and Samsung, and also Apple.

That being said, there are rumors which have suggested that the Realme GT 6 could be a global rebadged version of the recent Realme GT Neo6. The handset comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset and is priced at around $290. If Realme can maintain that price while including AI capabilities, it could be quite tempting.

Back in March, Qualcomm announced a new chipset in the form of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. This is basically a variant of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it will be cheaper. Now it looks like the first phone to use the chipset has been announced, and it is none other than Realme's latest flagship, the GT Neo6.

The phone features the use of a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a display that can go up to 6,000 nits peak brightness (HDR only). On the back of the phone, a dual camera setup can be found. This consists of a 50MP Sony IMX882 and an 8MP ultrawide which uses a Sony IMX335 sensor.

The phone is offered with 12-16GB of RAM, and will go up to 1TB in storage. It also packs a 5,500mAh battery with support for 120W charging. The use of Qualcomm's chipset is interesting. The chipset is based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but features slightly slower clock speeds. It also uses the previous-gen Adreno GPU, which is more than capable, but obviously not the latest.

The upside is that the use of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 has helped Realme make the GT Neo6 more affordable. It is priced starting at 2,099 yuan, which is around $290 after conversion. Not too bad for a flagship handset.

It has been a few years since Samsung officially abandoned their Note series of smartphones, but it looks like Realme could be gearing up to pick up where Samsung left off. A post on X by Realme has teased the arrival of a new Note series of smartphones, and a subsequent leak has revealed its potential specs.

X user @ThisGood15 shared the leaked slides on the website where it is revealed that the handset could be known as the Realme Note 1. The slide compares the upcoming phone against competitors with Note phones of their own, namely Infinix and Redmi.

Assuming the leaked slide is accurate, the Realme Note 1 could come with a 6.67-inch FHD OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also uses the D7050 chipset, which presumably refers to the MediaTek Dimensity 7050. This suggests that it won't be a particularly high-end smartphone. Other specs include a triple camera setup with a 108MP main shooter accompanied by an 8MP and 2MP sensor.

The Realme Note 1 could also pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging. The comparison of the Note 1 against the competitors doesn't suggest that the handset will stand out too much. It also does not mention if there will be stylus support, which was one of the Samsung Note's defining features.

Just a short while after announcing its 200 million shipment milestone, Realme finally announced the arrival of the GT5 Pro, which packs some pretty impressive hardware specifications, including the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile chipset.

In terms of display, the GT5 Pro packs a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and an impressive 4,500 nits of peak brightness. This is encased in a design that features a vegan leather back, which is available in three different colors.

The phone also comes in different storage configurations including a choice of either 256 or 512GB of storage, 12 and 16GB of RAM, and is powered by a 5,400 mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging speeds. Other features include Realme's custom Android user interface as well as air gestures, an integrated control feature.

For cameras, the GT5 Pro packs a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope zoom sensor, and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. Meanwhile, selfies and video calls are handled by a 32MP main sensor.

Priced starting at around $477 when converted, the GT5 Pro is currently exclusive to Chinese markets, but we can expect Realme to announce global availability in the coming months.
