Operators in India are poised to launch their 5G networks, although they are waiting until the government auctions better spectrum. Realme is determined to have a 5G-capable phone in the hands of many before this even happens.
“Realme aims to become the popularizer of 5G in India, Europe and other global markets,” said CEO Madhav Sheth. Indian expers. For the Indian market in particular, half of the new models unveiled in 2021 will be compatible with 5G.
Additionally, any domains that cost INR 20,000 or more will have 5G connectivity. The Realme X7 series (announced last week) starts at INR 20,000, for example (less if you’re part of the company’s upgrade program). It’s with a Dimensity 800U chipset, MediaTek also has the Dimensity 700 for the cheaper models (and Qualcomm has the Snapdragon 480).

Airtel’s CTO predicts that 5G phones between INR 10-15,000 are needed to drive mass adoption of next-generation network technology. Airtel carried out the first 5G test in India a few weeks ago, while Rival Jio says it will launch its 5G network later this year.
“With everything moving online – work, education, payments – consumers’ dependence on technology has increased,” says Sheth. “Consumers these days are more inclined to embrace a connected, tech-driven lifestyle and 5G is set to play a pivotal role in building that lifestyle for them.
