How many telephones is simply too many telephones? Somewhere, a swap went off inside Realme and immediately it went on enlargement overdrive, launching telephones by the dozen. Most of them, inside the identical worth bracket of Rs 15,000-Rs 25,000, with principally the identical specs, too. It’s principally bought to do with the bold aim of changing into a phase chief (and promoting 50 million smartphones on Flipkart this 12 months), and whereas it’s alright to aspire for large issues, the web has a behavior of pulling you down the minute they spot meme-worthy content material. And effectively, Realme simply gave it to them.

We gained’t go so far as to name it “corporate burn-out” but, however it appears launching too many telephones, all constructed across the similar design template and having the identical mixture of {hardware} (plus or minus right here and there), has lastly caught up with Realme. The model launched the “India-exclusive” P-series on Monday and as is often the case with Realme merchandise, the product itemizing pages had been solely put up some time after, publish the launch (manufacturers like Apple and Samsung are identified to be a lot quicker).

That’s not the true drawback, although. The drawback was that Realme tousled with the Realme P1 Pro specs “big-time”.

(The precise specs are as follows: the cellphone runs Android 14, has a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 sensor with OIS, and helps 45W quick charging, however, you gained’t be mistaken to name Realme’s official info deceptive.)

As anticipated, the Internet is having a discipline day at Realme’s expense calling out the model for launching method too many telephones, so many it itself is getting confused with what goes the place. What’s regarding is that the spec-sheet we’re referring to remains to be to be up to date on the time of writing.

Whatever be the case, such errors usually are not unusual anymore. OnePlus, which is one other Oppo sub model, just lately got here underneath the radar for falsely advertising quicker UFS4.0 storage within the 12R (when in truth it makes use of UFS3.1). The OnePlus 12 was additionally stated to be eSIM-ready in India earlier than the itemizing was taken down following complaints on social media. Only few days in the past, OnePlus additionally “mistakenly” introduced that Gemini Ultra was coming to its phones.
