Overview
- Realme officially unveiled the special edition’s design and confirmed sales open at 10:00 on November 10, with pricing still unannounced.
- The model features a mechanical-assembly custom camera module, carbon-fiber deco, Aston Martin F1 silver-wing emblem, aerodynamic twin-wing contours, and a racing paint-like glass back with a color-matched metal frame.
- Built on the GT8 Pro platform, it uses Qualcomm’s fifth-generation Snapdragon 8, offers a Ricoh GR camera mode with 28mm/40mm focal lengths, a 2K 144Hz flat display peaking at 7,000 nits, and a 7,000mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.
- Realme has not disclosed the price; a well-known leaker characterizes the release as a rare three-way collaboration spanning phone, camera brand, and F1 team and suggests collector-grade packaging.
- Industry developments include a leaker-report that a likely Xiaomi 17 Ultra prototype is testing an industry-largest sensor and a physical-zoom solution, Huawei Mate 70 Air appearing in China’s telecom database with HarmonyOS 5.0, and Xiaomi’s Lu Weibing saying ultra-thin “Air” phones are very niche in sales.
