Realme is tipped to launch its Realme 9 series globally in early Q1 2022, some sources even say it might be launching in India as early as February 2022. Well, it is the start of the new year and upcoming new releases are now being officially certified on many countries’ product safety databases for brands to gear up for their respective launch events. In turn, it is no surprise that Realme and its Realme 9 series are no exception to this procedure.
Spotted first on the Indonesian
electronics safety database, an upcoming Realme smartphone has been certified
with the model number RMX3472. The same model number, RMX3472 then popped out
on the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Council Committee (NBTC)
website in Thailand, however this time the name was revealed on the NBTC
database: Realme 9 Pro 5G. From the name, we can deduce that the Realme 9 Pro
5G will be the direct successor to last year’s Realme 8 Pro and in 2022, Realme
is suiting the sequel with 5G connectivity.
Besides these two certification bodies,
the smartphone was also spotted on EEC certification with the RMX3472 model
number and the handset was recently also spotted on the Indonesian TKDN
certification website. With many certifications ready to go, it seems like
Realme is planning to announce the Realme 9 Pro 5G in many growing global
smartphone markets, which include South Asian and Southeast Asian countries.
Another shocking revelation of the Realme
9 Pro 5G is that it was spotted with the model number RMX3471 instead on the
India BIS certification database, a slight change in the last digit compared to
RMX3472. This may be hinting Realme is releasing another variant of the Realme
9 Pro 5G exclusive to India, which may differ slightly to the global variant.
From previous leaks, besides the Realme 9
Pro, we also gathered that Realme will be launching 4 models in total for the
Realme 9 series, namely the standard Realme 9, Realme 9 Pro, Realme 9 Pro Plus,
and Realme 9i. It is expected to launch within this quarter and to come several
key markets, which include India, Thailand and Indonesia.
