As per the unverified screenshot, the code name "ikebukuro" is used for a pre-existing Changhong based TV model used by many brands. The SoC is said to be an MStar T16.

Recently, the leaked BIS certification filings of the alleged Realme TV spilt some key details of one of its upcoming product. It revealed that it would be a 43-inch LED-panel. The TV will likely cater to the budget segment, which is currently dominated by its competitor Xiaomi.

Madhav Sheth, CEO of Realme, recently spoke to Digit.in about the upcoming plans towards creating an ecosystem of products (watch video). To recall, Realme has already expanded its portfolio to audio and wearable categories.
