Exciting news for smartphone enthusiasts: Realme is poised to release the 14x, marking a significant milestone as India’s first IP69-rated smartphone available from just around $180. This budget-friendly device boasts a stylish “Diamond Design” and promises to deliver exceptional durability and flair.
Scheduled to debut on December 18, 2024, the 14x aspires to build on the success of its predecessor, the 12x, which was both affordable and stylish. Realme hints at an attractive starting price of approximately INR 14,999, making the 14x an enticing option for those seeking premium features without breaking the bank.
What truly sets the 14x apart is its hard-to-find waterproof rating at this price point, putting it on par with Realme’s flagship GT 7 Pro. Despite sharing this robust feature, the budget device sports a unique look, featuring a dazzling rear panel design reminiscent of the Oppo Reno12. It seems to house three lens cut-outs, though only two cameras are functional.
For those with an eye for design, the 14x presents itself in three stunning colors: red, black, and gold. The phone also features a flat display with a noticeable “chin” paired with a trendy flat frame, offering a modern aesthetic with a touch of elegance.
Realme is keeping further details about the 14x close to the chest but has certainly piqued interest with its promises of style, durability, and affordability. It’s a smartphone that seems to enhance practicality without sacrificing style, making it a worthy contender in the budget smartphone market. Keep an eye out for more updates as the release date approaches.
