Previously, there was a rumour of OPPO possibly shutting down OnePlus, but that turned out to be false. Today, realme has reportedly begun laying off employees in India as part of a restructuring tied to its transition back into OPPO’s organisational umbrella. Industry sources and retail contacts in major states like Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab say that sales and field staff have been told their roles may end as early as 30 April 2026, reflecting broader cost-cutting and operational alignment between the two brands.

The wait is finally over. Recently, realme has launched the realme Neo 8. That said, what should you know about it?

realme is going to debut a groundbreaking smartphone powered by its massive new 10001 mAh Titan Battery. The upcoming device, reportedly called the realme P4 Power, will be the first commercial handset to feature this ultra-high-capacity silicon-carbon cell, signalling a shift toward endurance-first mobile design.

The realme Neo 8, which will be launched on January 22, will feature a PC Handheld Gaming Mode. That said, what should you know about it?

realme has been a well-known brand in Malaysia for a few years now, due to its cost-efficient devices with good features. However, the company announced it will be integrated into OPPO as a sub-brand, marking a significant restructuring within the BBK Electronics family of smartphone brands.

For some reason, the first week of January 2026 is a hot week for phone launches. OPPO, Honor, POCO, and realme all have plans to unveil new phones soon. In fact, realme will not only launch the realme 16 series but also the realme Neo8 series.

Last week, realme confirmed plans to launch the realme 16 series on 6 January 2026. Since then, we've received more updates on the specs. The realme 16 series will feature two models at launch day, including the realme 16 Pro+. Here are more details of the new phone.

Larger mobile batteries were more for tablets in the past, but that changed when brands started using silicon-carbon batteries for smartphones. Thanks to higher energy density, smartphone batteries can now be larger, with realme likely to take the record soon.

realme has confirmed that the realme 16 Pro Series is officially set to debut on 6 January 2026, bringing a new design language and an advanced imaging system to its flagship lineup. According to realme, the launch marks a strategic evolution of the company’s popular Number Series, with a fresh focus on both aesthetics and photography performance.

realme Malaysia has been promoting its C85 5G for a while now. Just over the weekend, the phone became officially available in Malaysia at a starting price of RM799. Below are the details of the tech specs and features.
