Chinese smartphone brand realme has partnered with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) for the M7 World Championship.
As a result of the deal, the realme 15 Pro has become the official gaming phone of the mobile MOBA title’s season-ending esports tournament.
Announced during a press conference held at Azalia Hall in Jakarta, Indonesia, the partnership aims to ‘strengthen the mobile esports ecosystem’, equipping players with high-end hardware optimised for esports competitions.
The realme 15 Pro bolsters a Snapdragon 7 Gen4 Chipset that includes a game mode boost designed to optimise device performance during sustained use. Additionally, the smartphone features an AI-powered gaming coach that analyses in-game data in real time to provide tactical suggestions and tips on how to improve performance.
“Partnering with realme is a strategic step as we aim to make the M7 the largest M Series yet,” said Martinus H Manurung, Head of ID Business Development at MOONTON Games.
“With the realme 15 Pro as the M7 Official Gaming Phone, MLBB fans worldwide will experience the tournament at its best through smooth performance and immersive gameplay. More importantly, the partnership allows us to showcase Indonesia as a leading esports hub.”
