Realme Mini Capsule Design leaks online, could feature similar design to Apple’s Dynamic Island

Realme is reportedly working on developing a front-facing display notch module that appears to be similar to the Dynamic Island feature in the iPhone 14 Pro series. Apple was the first to introduce such a functional camera cutout module with the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro line last September. Ever since the Cupertino, Calif.-based iPhone maker unveiled Dynamic Island, the feature has been widely suggested to be emulated by Android smartphone makers. The latest rumor seems to suggest that Realme could be among the first brands to develop its own version of Apple’s Dynamic Island.

Tipster Steve H. Mcfly (@onleaks) has leaked the design of the “Realme Mini Capsule” in collaboration with SmartPrix. Realme is reportedly working on replicating the Dynamic Island feature found on Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro line. The video leaked by the tipster shows how the alleged Mini Capsule could work on an upcoming Realme device.

The images and video shared by the tipster seem to suggest that Realme’s mini pod will be slightly taller and wider than the Dynamic Island seen on Apple’s iPhone 14 series. However, it will collapse into a much smaller circular punch-hole camera cutout, according to the leaked video.

The new feature believed to be in development has already been teased on Twitter by Realme VP Madhav Sheth. However, the tweet was later deleted, according to the report.

The latest report goes further than suggesting the feature’s development and hints at the feature in action on a Realme-branded device. The video shows the functional cutout used to display charging status through animations and colors that appear to change based on battery level.

The alleged Realme Mini Capsule could also offer support for other features besides expanding to reveal charging information, according to the report.

Last September, the company launched a “realme Island – Creators Challenge” contest on its community forum, seeking design ideas for a version of Apple’s Dynamic Island on Android phones. The company’s community post was updated in October with the contest winners.

It is important to note that Realme has not yet provided any official confirmation regarding the development or rollout of the Dynamic Island-like Mini Capsule feature. The feature could eventually offer additional functionality, display notifications and control music playback, similar to the Dynamic Island on Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro series of smartphones.
