Realme has quietly raised the retail prices of several smartphones in Pakistan, with increases of up to Rs. 5,000 per model. The new prices took effect on October 1, 2026, and apply to seven configurations across the Note 60x, C100i, C100x, and C100 lines. If you were planning to buy one of these phones, here is exactly what changed and why.
Which Realme Phones Got More Expensive?
Seven configurations across four Realme series are affected:
| Model | Variant | Old Price | New Price | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Realme Note 60x | 3GB/64GB | Rs. 32,999 | Rs. 33,999 | +Rs. 1,000 |
| Realme C100i | 4GB/128GB | Rs. 49,999 | Rs. 52,999 | +Rs. 3,000 |
| Realme C100i | 6GB/128GB | Rs. 59,999 | Rs. 64,999 | +Rs. 5,000 |
| Realme C100x | 6GB/128GB | Rs. 64,999 | Rs. 69,999 | +Rs. 5,000 |
| Realme C100x | 8GB/128GB | Rs. 74,999 | Rs. 79,999 | +Rs. 5,000 |
| Realme C100 | 8GB/256GB | Rs. 89,999 | Rs. 94,999 | +Rs. 5,000 |
Why Did Realme Raise Prices?
Realme cited rising import costs, the depreciation of the Pakistani rupee, and higher RAM and component prices as the reasons behind the hike. These are the same cost pressures that have pushed up prices across the industry in 2026, especially for phones with higher memory configurations — note that the biggest increases hit the 6GB and 8GB RAM variants.
What This Means for Buyers
If you bought one of these models before October 1, you paid the old price — nothing changes for existing owners. For new buyers, the increases are steepest on the mid-range picks: the C100i 6/128, both C100x variants, and the C100 8/256 each cost Rs. 5,000 more now. The entry-level Note 60x 3/64 escaped with only a Rs. 1,000 increase.
It is worth comparing these new Realme prices with rival phones in the same bracket before buying, since the hike narrows Realme’s price advantage against competitors.
