Oppo confirmed that the Oppo Find X3 Pro will launch on March 11, 2021. The company also confirmed one of the major features of the phone as well as its chipset. You will be able to live stream the launch on YouTube. The hype machine has been working hard over the past few weeks when it comes to the upcoming Find X3 series. We expect there to be three devices in the lineup, including a Find X3 Lite and a Find X3 Neo.
Update, September 6, 2019 (3:40AM ET): Realme has confirmed that the Realme XT will launch in India on September 13 at 12:30PM IST (3AM ET).
This launch date means it’ll definitely beat the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro to the Indian market. Xiaomi says its own 64MP phone will likely launch eight weeks after the Chinese launch, which puts it in a late October or early November launch window.
We still don’t have any word on pricing right now, but hopefully it matches up well to the Xiaomi device.
