Realme has confirmed the release date of the Realme XT in India. Accordingly, the phone will arrive on 13 September as the first 64MP smartphone in this country. The device will officially be available at 12PM on 13 September at a New Delhi-based event. The big takeaway from this event will the price of the phone in the Indian market and release offers since the specs of the device are already revealed. As you may know, the phone was previously said to debut in this market by the end of September. Therefore, this information is a big surprise for them.
