The video is fake, and nothing has been confirmed by the company whether they are making it or not. The specs will see a slight improvement, but mostly it will be the same design with other features.

The list of expected Realme 4 specs will include an additional camera sensor, an upgraded processor and a few other additions. Realme 4 will come with the same water drop notch design, maybe with lesser bezels this time and a rear three camera setup.
