Previously, the company had announced that it would launch 5G smartphones in China and India once the upcoming network is ready. Sheth has not announced if the company would launch a 5G variant of its flagship Realme X.
Realme X is soon making its way to India. Sheth previously confirmed that Realme X would launch during the second half of 2019 in India and may come with different specs than the Chinese variant.
To recall, Realme X features a 6.53-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner and no-notch on top. A 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC powers the Realme X, paired with up to 8GB and 128GB internal storage. It comes with a relatively large 3,765 mAh battery and supports VOOC 3.0 fast charging tech. There are dual cameras at the back with a primary 48MP f/1.7 sensor. For selfies, it gets a 16MP f/2.0 pop-up sensor.
Realme’s parent company Oppo has already launched Reno 5G. However, the smartphone is yet to make its way to the Indian market.
