Chase Xu — VP and Chief Marketing Officer at Realme — shared a short video on popular Chinese social media platform Weibo. The phone that is shown looks to be a new unannounced model that is currently under development.

I personally don’t care too much, simply because I didn’t care back when each year’s upgrade seemed to just be a better camera. A better phone with newer capabilities is something I’m much more interested in and AI is giving us that. Hence why I’m waiting to see how Apple Intelligence compares to Gemini and Galaxy AI.
I’ve also never taken offense at companies copying certain Apple features. The removal of the headphone jack will forever haunt me but I genuinely love how dynamic island looks. So I’m okay with other brands making their own versions of it and I’m perfectly fine with copies of the camera control button.
The iPhone 16 is probably going to be one of the best phones worth buying today. And if Realme can give some of Apple’s newest features to consumers at a lower cost, all the more power to them I say.
