Update 1 (6/22/20 @ 01:40 AM ET): Realme has launched a new 4GB + 64GB variant of the Narzo 10A for ₹9,999 (~$130). The original Realme Narzo 10/10A launch story from May 11, 2020 remains unchanged.

Realme recently completed two years as an independent brand. Since its spin-off from OPPO, the company has aggressively launched new devices every month and this has allowed it to break its way into the top five smartphone brands in India. The company's objective, however, is to be a tech lifestyle brand and this is why it is launching a new smartphone series for Gen-Z in India. The new Realme Narzo series includes two new phones – Narzo 10 and 10A – powered by MediaTek G series chipsets and focus on photography.

While Realme was supposed to launch these devices in March, the launch was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in India. Both of these devices are rebranded versions of previously launched Realme devices with certain aesthetic changes.
