There’s been a whole lot of information coming out regarding the Realme 5 all at the same time. The Realme 5 will join the Realme 5 Pro to make its debut on August 20. A recent official tweet confirmed the presence of a quad-camera setup with the main camera being a 48MP sensor. 
Realme India’s CEO has now effectively confirmed the price range of the Realme 5 earlier today. The CEO hinted that the company is bringing next week “the world’s 1st quad-camera smartphone under 10k”. INR10,000 converts to roughly $140. This is similar to the price tag of the Realme 4 which came in at INR9,999.
Even though the price is similar to that of its predecessor, there are some key upgrades which will be the selling point for the Realme 5. Apart from being the first 48MP Quad camera smartphone in India, the Realme is the world’s first Quad-camera smartphone under INR10,000. The device will also come with a powerful Qualcomm chipset that would be launching for the first time in India. A Realme model RMX1911 appeared on GeekBench packing a Snapdragon 665 SoC. This is believed to be the Realme 5.

Xiaomi Mi A3 is the only phone that uses a Snapdragon 665 chipset presently. So, even though the Realme 5 will be the only device in India rocking the SD 665 SoC, it won’t hold that title for long as the Mi A3 will debut a few days later.
