Realme has announced that the first Tab from the Chinese company is all set to be launched on September 9. And, India would the first geography where the Realme Tab would be making its official appearance.

Realme Pad design leak

By the wordings, we get an impression that the company is hoping for the Realme Pad to be in direct competition with the newest generation of Apple iPads. While the design specs appear to suggest this, it remains to be seen how the operating system and the overall user experience would compare with the market leader. 

Design leaks, which had earlier appeared on  Mysmartprice report appears to indicate that the Realme Pad may have borrowed in no less measure from the iPads. 

The Realme Pad comes with rounded edges that seem to have been laser cut. The rear panel has a camera lens on the top right corner with a line down the middle of the camera. Some leaks claim that this could be a silo for a stylus.

Ports on the device include a 3.5mm one for audio, and a USB-C for charging. There are two speaker grilles beside the USB port for audio, and since we can't see the other panel we can't be sure whether the Tab supports stereo audio. The leak shows two colours – gold and dark grey.
