Earlier this month, Realme introduced the 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ smartphones to international markets outside of China. The global release began in Asia and is now moving to Europe, where the duo powered by Dimensity 7050 is available for pre-order and sale.
The Realme 11 Pro is priced at €400/PKR120692.11 in Black or Beige color options and offers 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. On the other hand, the Realme 11 Pro+ is also available in Black or Beige and comes with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, priced at €520/PKR156899.74.
Pre-orders for these phones are currently open in Italy and France, and shipments are scheduled for this month. Realme Spain is offering to ship the phones as soon as the order is complete, potentially allowing users to receive their new smartphones as early as tomorrow.
Realme has partnered with third-party retailers, who are offering discounts that significantly reduce the prices. For instance, Amazon Italy is selling the smartphones at a 10-11% discount, bringing the prices down to €340/PKR102588.29 or €470/PKR141813.23, depending on whether the user chooses the Pro or Pro+ variant.
Unieuro or Mediamarkt are also providing slightly smaller discounts for a limited period, but these reduced prices are only available in their physical stores. Although Realme is reportedly shifting its focus away from Germany, the 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ can still be purchased on Amazon with free delivery scheduled for later this week.

Realme’s Indian division has announced that it has appointed Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) as its brand ambassador for the smartphone category. The company stated that it chose SRK, also known as “King Khan,” because he embodies the spirit of Realme through his remarkable journey and charismatic personality. They believe he represents Realme’s commitment to providing users with an exceptional experience.
By partnering with SRK, Realme aims to emphasize its focus on delivering powerful, stylish, and youth-oriented smartphones that resonate with the aspirations and ambitions of today’s young generation. The collaboration highlights the brand’s dedication to meeting the needs of the youth demographic.
The first products that SRK will endorse are the Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+, which were recently introduced in China and are scheduled to launch in international markets, including India, in June. To learn more about these devices, you can refer to the detailed specs comparison available for the Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+.
Realme has previously partnered with Bollywood actors for its Number series smartphones. In 2020, Salman Khan collaborated with Realme for the Realme 6 lineup, and the brand also worked with Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor for some of its AIoT products. However, it is hoped that Realme will not use pictures of SRK on the boxes of the Realme 11 Pro series in India, as not everyone appreciates such promotional tactics.

Today, Realme unveiled the Realme 11 Pro+, featuring the first-ever 200MP camera sensor on a Realme phone. This device shares many similarities with the Realme 11 Pro, except for the main and front-facing cameras and faster charging capabilities.

On the front, there’s a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The 10-bit panel also incorporates 2160Hz PWM frequency dimming, reducing eye strain. The phone is equipped with a 32MP front-facing camera and an optical under-display fingerprint scanner.
Under the hood, the Realme 11 Pro+ is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7050 chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. The device houses a 5,000mAh battery with 100W charging support and runs Realme UI 4.0 based on Android 13.

On May 10, the Realme 11 series will be launched, and it has already been confirmed that at least one phone will have a circular camera island and a sleek leather-like design on the back. Today, the company has given us a complete view of the phone, and we now know that the Realme 11 Pro+ will indeed feature leather and fabric on the back.
The color has an official name, Sunrise Beige. According to a press release, the design was created in collaboration with Matteo Menotto, who is currently the Head of Design for Textile at Bvlgari and was previously a Senior Designer at Gucci. The design is inspired by the sunrise in a romantic city, and it utilizes “soft leather, weaved fabric, hand-sewn together” to provide a premium phone experience. The images indicate that the phone will have a flat top and bottom, with curved sides on the AMOLED screen. We can also see that there is a 200MP primary camera with OIS, which is likely to use the Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor.
As we approach the launch in two weeks, more details are anticipated to be revealed. The press release also indicates that only the Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 Pro+ will be unveiled at the event, with the duo being available in three colors, including Oasis Green and Astral Black. However, it is unclear whether these other colors will also be leather-fabric options.
