As per fresh details coming in, Realme’s latest budget flagship: Realme X will very soon launch in India, and its expected price will be Rs 18000.
This has been confirmed by none other than Madhav Sheth, who is the Realme India head.
This way, Realme X will directly compete against the likes of Redmi Note 7 Pro and Poco F1, both from the family of Xiaomi’s sub-brands and the current champions of budget niche smartphones.

Hence, in India, Realme X would be slightly costly.
