Realme has expanded its sub-flagship line with the 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ after their May 2023 debut in China. Word from industry sources indicates a planned global release with pricing in the vicinity of 290 USD, roughly 23,400 rubles, as reported by Sudhanshu Ambhore, who tracks the market closely.
Early details suggest the Realme 11 Pro+ will lead the pack in the lineup, offering configurations starting at 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage for about 330 USD (roughly 26,600 rubles). A version boasting 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage is also cited at around 330 USD in some markets, while a 370 USD option with 256 GB of RAM and 1 TB? storage is listed for others. In China, these models reportedly carry lower price points, roughly 290 USD for the base and around 320 USD for the higher-storage variant.
For the global base model, the Realme 11 Pro is expected to launch at about 290 USD for the 8/128 GB configuration, with a 310 USD option for 8/256 GB in other markets. While an exact global release date remains unannounced, the series is anticipated to arrive in multiple regions, including Russia, though regional pricing may differ from the figures circulating from insiders.
Design-wise, Realme is sticking to a flagship-inspired silhouette for the 11 Pro series. The devices are expected to house a modern, premium look while delivering competitive performance for their price tier. Central to the performance package is a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, designed to balance efficiency and power for everyday tasks and more demanding workloads. The base model’s camera setup centers on a 100‑megapixel sensor, offering strong daylight performance and reliable detail capture in typical usage scenarios. The Pro+ variant takes a bold leap with a 200‑megapixel main sensor, which aims to deliver standout stills and improved zoom capabilities in well-lit conditions and against high-contrast scenes.
Beyond hardware, Realme’s software experience in these models is expected to emphasize smooth interaction, camera versatility, and long-term support through firmware updates. The global rollout is watched for how Realme positions the 11 Pro family in markets where value-oriented flagships contend with devices from other Asian brands and the broader Android ecosystem. The pricing strategy will be a critical factor as the company navigates currency differences and regional taxes that impact street prices in Canada, the United States, and other key markets.
There has also been chatter in the tech press about other brands advancing their own AI-powered features natively in devices. For instance, reports from outlets such as socialbites.ca have noted chatter about Infinix smartphones possibly being among the first to integrate a built-in AI assistant powered by a ChatGPT-like model. This adds a broader context to the ongoing race to bring AI-enabled experiences to mainstream phones, alongside the Realme 11 Pro series and its competitors.
