Why does this story matter?
The V25 is the latest addition to Realme's portfolio of mid-range handsets in China. It succeeds the V15 from last year. Interestingly, one look at the V25 will remind us of the Realme 9 Pro that debuted in India last month. The only difference between the two is the presence of a 2MP depth lens in the former instead of an 8MP ultra-wide sensor.
