The Realme 10 series will be the next generation of the popular mid-range series from Realme. The Realme 10 Pro series smartphones have now been confirmed to launch in India next month. The Realme 10 Pro and Relame 10 Pro+ were launched in China last week, and now, the company has announced the India launch for the Realme 10 Pro smartphones on December 8.

Realme announced the event via an invite and on its social media handles. Realme said that the Realme 10 Pro and the Realme 10 Pro+ will be launched on December 8 at 12:30PM IST. The invite mentions the 'Pro' models, meaning that the vanilla Realme 10 smartphone may not be launched in India on December 10. The Realme 10 Pro+, launched in China, is the first Realme numbered smartphone to come with a curved display. The new Realme 10 Pro+ was also launched with MediaTek's new 1080 chipset, becoming the first smartphone to sport MediaTek's new SoC. 

Realme 10 Pro specifications

The Realme 10 Pro 5G was launched in China with a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone has a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. 

In terms of optics, the Relame 10 Pro 5G has a dual rear camera setup that includes a 108-megapixel primary shooter, and a 2-megapixel secondary shooter. Up front, there is a 16-megapixel front shooter on the Realme 10 Pro 5G.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 and Apple iPhone 14 could share this feature

A new report states that Samsung might just equip its newest flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S23, with a key feature from the Apple iPhone 14. This former debuted its satellite communication technology this year, and we may see the same technology employed in the Samsung Galaxy S23. According to the brand, they’ve been working on satellite communication technology for over 2 years, and have just managed to iron out issues. 

ET News recently reported that Samsung has been working with Iridium to develop its satellite communication technology. Iridium is a low-earth orbit constellation that leverages its 66 satellites to deliver voice and data functions. By partnering with the communications brand, Samsung hopes to offer the ability to send text messages and low-res images via satellite connections. 

Is this different from the Apple iPhone 14’s satellite technology?

As of now, the Apple iPhone 14 allows users to send rescue requests to their emergency contacts when stuck in areas that have low signal. The tech giant partnered with Globalstar to bring this functionality to users. While this function is free to use in a few countries, Apple may elect to charge for it later. 

While this is a great feature to add, others have been striving to make improvements to it. For instance, Huawei allows users to send limited text messages by leveraging the Beidou satellites. 

Challenges to be overcome

Regular satellite devices typically have large antennae that stick up, enabling the user to make calls. The biggest challenge when bringing this technology to smartphones is ensuring that the antenna is small enough to fit inside the smartphone’s body, while still maintaining its efficacy. 

As Samsung has already announced the technology, it is fair to assume that they have overcome this specific challenge. The brand does not think this technology has a place in South Korea, as the country has excellent 5G coverage. However, it does expect to have a viable market in North and South America, Asia, Europe, and Russia.

Do the satellite technology in Huawei and Apple iPhone 14 work well? Read our reviews on the same!
