While the listing itself doesn’t reveal the exact identity of the device, online chatter suggests that it will eventually be marketed as the Realme 5. According to areportfrom Nashville Chatter Class, the device was also recently certified in Thailand and Malaysia, paving the way for its launch in these regions.
The listing further suggests that the phone will be powered by a processor nicknamed‘trinket’, which is the same chip listed for devices like Xiaomi’s Mi A3 and the Mi CC9e, both of which sport the Snapdragon 665 SoC under-the-hood.
