Launching special editions of smartphones isn’t new. Just last year, we saw brands like OnePlus and Huawei partnering with well-known car brands.

If you’re wondering if it’s a special brand or company, well, it’s not. The company literally took inspiration from garlic and onions. The idea comes from Naoto Fukasawa, a Japanese Industrial Designer. Due to the interesting textures of both garlic and onions, Realme X gave birth to a white-themed and orange-themed variants. What makes them unique are the vertical gleams when reflected by light. Interestingly, there’s an offset brand name with the Fukasawa’s signature beside the dual-camera setup.
Given they’re special editions, both phones are expected to come only with the highest configuration — 8GB/128GB. That puts the price at CNY 1899 or ~P14.5k before taxes.
