The popular Chinese company has officially announced that they will notify the new prices for all its smartphones on their official website soon as well.

As per the press statement from Realme on Wednesday, the “recent COVID-19 pandemic has highly impacted the smartphone industry” already and further the “Indian Rupee rate has been continuously fluctuating”.
