Realme has unveiled six new smartphone models. The Gizmochina team has uncovered intriguing details about these devices, and in this article, we will share everything we know. Previously, we identified four different Realme models, and now, six additional models have emerged. Although the specifics of the smartphones remain undisclosed, the identified model numbers suggest a new generation of Realme devices.
New Model Numbers Discovered
Earlier, we reported that Realme was working on four different smartphones, identified by the model numbers “RMX5000”, “RMX5002”, “RMX5010” and “RMX5011”. Now, the Gizmochina team has found six more Realme smartphones. The model numbers for these new devices are “RMX5003”, “RMX5004”, “RMX5050”, “RMX5051”, “RMX5055” and “RMX5056”. These numbers are expected to correspond to forthcoming Realme models. Notably, Realme has skipped the RMX4000 series, moving directly from the RMX3000 to the RMX5000 series in their numbering sequence.
Cultural Influences on Numbering
The decision to bypass the RMX4000 series might be influenced by cultural beliefs. In Chinese culture, the number 4 is considered unlucky because its pronunciation is similar to the word “death”. This belief, known as “Tetraphobia”, has led many Chinese companies to avoid using the number 4 in their product lines. Realme’s parent company, Oppo, has similarly skipped the Find X4, opting to release the Find X5 instead. Thus, Realme’s choice to jump from the RMX3000 to the RMX5000 series could be attributed to these cultural superstitions.
Realme's Innovative Approach
Realme is renowned for its cutting-edge technology and budget-friendly offerings. These new devices are anticipated to capture the interest of consumers. The brand’s efforts to develop new models, influenced by Chinese cultural superstitions, indicate an ongoing commitment to innovation. As a sub-brand of Oppo and part of BBK Electronics, Realme benefits from robust support and extensive technological resources. The tech community eagerly awaits the introduction of these new devices, which Realme is expected to launch in the near future.
