Realme started its innings in the mobile industry with budget Android smartphones. Gradually, the Chinese smartphone brand has ventured beyond the smartphone space into other consumer electronics markets with smart TVs, smart wearables, and other tech gadgets. The company just introduced a slew of devices in the Indian market including a tablet for the budget audience. The Realme Pad Mini is the latest affordable tablet that we are speaking of.

The Realme Pad Mini is announced in India at a starting price of Rs. 10,999. This is the cost of the basic variant with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage Wi-Fi variant. The same configuration with 4G+ Wi-Fi support is priced slightly higher at Rs. 12,999. This budget tablet is also available with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage configuration.

Interested users can watch the launch live stream at 4 PM Japan Time (3 AM EST). We can’t confirm if Sony is planning to bring the Xperia 1 IV to India post its Japan launch.

The Sony Xperia 1 IV has been spotted on several online platforms including Giznext.
