Instead of the Realme 14, a current Realme executive shared that the company would announce the Realme 15.

Realme recently unveiled the Realme 13 Pro series and immediately followed it with the Realme 13 4G (the 5G version is expected to launch soon). Now, it seems the company is already pondering about the next series.

However, according to a report from folks at 91Mobiles Hindi, instead of the Realme 14 series that some might expect, the company would opt for the “15” branding. The executive was not named but said to have been “closely involved in the company’s planning and strategy for the last several years.”

As per the executive, the reason behind the move is the image of “14” in China, where the number is considered unlucky. According to the report, the Realme 15 will also undergo a design change, especially in terms of the rear camera island. To recall, the current Realme 13 series boasts a circular camera module.
