Smartphone brand Realme has teased a new smartphone launch. The company has not revealed the name of the upcoming phone. But it has confirmed that the handset will be powered by the recently launched MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor. “Mission: 1080 Likes; Reward: The new Dimensity 1080 chipset on upcoming #realme devices this year! Are you ready for the challenge?” reads a post shared by Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth on microblogging site Twitter.
