Realme is reportedly gearing up for the launch of its next flagship smartphone series in India. While earlier rumours suggested the company might bypass the Realme 14 series entirely, new information indicates the series will, in fact, arrive in January 2025. This follows speculation that Realme may have shifted its timeline for the much-anticipated series, which will succeed the Realme 13 series.
Realme 14 Series: Expected Launch Timeline
The Realme 14 series is likely to include the Realme 14 Pro and Realme 14 Pro+ variants, replacing the Realme 13 lineup, which was introduced earlier this year. The series will likely target the same price range as its predecessor, starting at approximately Rs. 30,000. Although the exact date for the launch is still unconfirmed, a report from Smartprix suggests that the unveiling, originally planned for February 2025, has been brought forward to January.
