TL; DR
- New renders of the Realme Pad have now surfaced.
- The leak describes the design of the upcoming Slate, which includes quad speakers and a prominent rear view camera.
- A small slot on the tablet’s casing is supposed to house a dedicated input pen.
After we were exclusively informed about the upcoming Realme Pad in June, renderings of the device have now appeared online, in which the design and the alleged functions of the slate are described in detail.
The renderings are from Steve Hemmerstoffer and 91 Cell Phones. They suggest the Realme Pad has large bezels wrapped around a 10.4-inch display. The dimensions are 246.1 mm long slate with a width of 155.8 mm and a thickness of 6.8 mm.
The Realme Pad is apparently inspired by recent iPads, with flat edges and curved corners. Realme loads the top and bottom with stereo speakers, which should please those looking for an entertainment pad. There is also a USB-C port at the bottom. On the far left corner of the same edge sits a little hope, the 91 Cell Phones believes is a slot for a built-in pen.
The power button appears to be on the top, the volume rocker is on the top right, while a microSD card slot or a SIM card slot could be a little below it.
Realme Pad: What else do we know?
Other details that we can collect is a protruding rear camera. Positioned at the top right, the shooter sits 1.2 mm from the body of the Realme Pad. That extra space might be essential for the camera hardware being used, but it makes using this tablet flat on a table without a case a nightmare. There’s a single selfie camera in the front, but the renders don’t make it obvious.

In addition, Realme seems to be sticking to restrained color variations. There is a darker shade of gray and a lighter silver finish.
Realme has kept its first tablet offering well under wraps so far, so there are few words on specific specs. The company has teased that it will be an “entertainment first” tablet, but how it translates into real world specifications and functionality remains a mystery.
