Realme V15, aka Realme Koi, will be launched in China on January 7, the company has confirmed on Chinese microblogging website Weibo.

Realme V15 will be unveiled at 2pm local time (11:30am IST), where the company will reveal the specifications and configurations of the phone, though some of the details were leaked towards the end of last month.

Realme V15 launch

Realme V15 will be unveiled on January 7 through an event at 2pm local time (11:30am IST) in China. The company shared the development on Weibo, which was first spotted by known tipster Mukul Sharma. As of now, the pricing and availability for the phone are unclear and so are the specifications.

Realme V15 design

The phone has a gradient back panel as previously leaked. It has a rear camera module on the top left corner that houses three sensors and a flash. The ‘Dare to Leap' branding is on the right side of the back panel. On the front, the Realme V15 will come with a hole-punch cut out that is located at the top left corner of the screen. There also seem to be relatively thick bezels all around.

There could also be an in-display fingerprint scanner as the phone doesn't seem to have one on the back or the side in the official poster.
