As soon as Qualcomm announced the new Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, Asus broke the news that its upcoming ROG Phone 2 will be powered by the higher clocked processor. Now, Realme posted a teaser on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo hinting that it plans to launch a Snapdragon 855 Plus powered device in the future.

Realme posted a message quoting Qualcomm’s announcement on Weibo, saying just “Hello Snapdragon 855+” without directly saying anything about a future device with Snapdragon 855 Plus. But that is enough to suggest Realme’s intentions.
