This ensures comprehensive protection against dust, water jets, and even submersion, having survived realme’s internal 20-foot dive test. The material resilience extends to liquid damage, resisting over 36 common household substances, including coffee and cleaning agents.

The core processing unit is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, delivering responsive performance and enabling seamless 5G connectivity for ultra-fast downloads and stable mobile gaming.
