The smartphone with carrying the model number RMX5399 was previously spotted on certification platforms such as SIRIM in Malaysia and TDRA in the UAE. Although the retailer has marked the phone as “Coming Soon,” it is not yet available for purchase. Here is everything we know about its price, specifications and possible India launch.

Realme C01 Price and Availability

The Realme C01 is listed at 5,990,000 Vietnamese dong (approximately Rs 21,920) for the sole 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. The listing on The Gioi Di Dong reveals three colour options, which are black, grey and orange.

However, the smartphone is currently marked as “Coming Soon” on the retailer’s website and customers cannot purchase it yet. Realme has not officially announced the phone or confirmed its launch date.

Will the Realme C01 Launch in India?

Realme has not confirmed whether the C01 will launch in India. However, an Indian launch cannot be ruled out, as the company has recently introduced a couple of C100-series smartphones in the country.

Interestingly, the RMX5399 model number associated with the Realme C01 is also linked to the Realme C100i, which has already launched in India. This raises the possibility that the C01 could be a rebadged version of the C100i.

However, Realme has not confirmed whether the two devices are the same smartphone or whether the C01 will be introduced in the Indian market.

Realme C01 Specifications

6.8-Inch HD+ LCD Display With 120Hz Refresh Rate

The high refresh rate should provide smoother scrolling and animations compared with a standard 60Hz display. However, the panel’s HD+ resolution means it will not offer the same level of sharpness as higher-resolution displays.

Unisoc T7250 Processor With 4GB RAM

The smartphone is powered by the Unisoc T7250 octa-core processor paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. The processor includes two cores clocked at 1.8GHz and six cores running at 1.6GHz.

Realme C01 vs Realme C100i

The Realme C01 carries the model number RMX5399, which is also associated with the Realme C100i already available in India. This has led to speculation that the upcoming C-series smartphone could be a rebadged version of the C100i.

Could the Realme C01 Be a Rebranded Realme C100i?

The shared model number is an important clue but it does not conclusively confirm that the Realme C01 is a rebranded Realme C100i. Further comparisons of the official specifications, design and regional variants will be needed to establish the relationship between the two devices.

If the phones are indeed the same device sold under different names, the C01 could be intended for markets outside India. However, this remains speculation until Realme provides an official confirmation.

The company has also revealed the phone’s design, colour options and key ahead of its launch. While the smartphone is confirmed for China, its India launch remains unannounced.

iQOO Neo 12 Launch Date Confirmed

The iQOO Neo 12 will launch in China on October 28 at 7 PM local time. Sales are scheduled to begin immediately after the announcement, meaning customers in China will not have to wait for a separate sale date.

The smartphone is positioned as a gaming-focused device with upgrades to its processor, display, cooling system and battery.

iQOO Neo 12 Design and Colours

The iQOO Neo 12 features a redesigned rear panel with a large, rounded-square camera module positioned in the top-left corner. The module houses two vertically stacked camera lenses along with a section marked “Monster Inside” and a circular grille that appears to accommodate the built-in cooling fan. The rear flash sits outside the camera module.

A flat metal frame and rounded corners complete the design. The side frame also features slots that appear to function as exhaust vents for the active cooling system.

iQOO has revealed three colour options for the Neo 12 ahead of its China launch:

• Fierce Edge: A white finish.
• Frost Blade Blue: A light blue finish with a textured appearance.
• Shadow Black: A black finish.

The company has also collaborated with the China Academy of Art on a new colourway. The Zhengfeng finish features a dynamic texture that produces a flowing light effect when viewed from different angles.

The Frost Blade Blue variant has a pale silver-blue appearance with diagonal patterns across the rear panel.

The smartphone will also use the same touch chip as the iQOO 16. It supports an instant touch sampling rate of up to 5,000Hz and a multi-touch sampling rate of up to 500Hz. These high sampling rates are intended to improve touch responsiveness, particularly during fast-paced games.
