Realme is gradually spreading its tentacles into Europe. The Old Continent even got the Realme X2 Pro before India, which is one of its largest markets. Now, the manufacturer has announced the more affordable Realme 5 just in time for the holidays.
The Realme 5 lands in Europe with a price tag of €169 and that gets you the 4GB RAM+128GB version. That isn’t too bad considering the same version sells for INR 10,999 (~€139) in India. The phone will be available in Crystal Blue and Crystal Purple.
The Realme 5 has a 6.5–inch Mini-drop FullScreen display with an HD+ resolution. It is powered by the Snapdragon 665 processor and packs a 5000mAh battery.
There are four cameras on the back of the phone – a 12MP f/1.8 main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP portrait camera, and a 2MP 4cm macro camera. There is a 13MP sensor in front for selfies.
The Realme 5 has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, Dual-SIM support, and a dedicated MicroSD card slot. It runs Android Pie with ColorOS on top. For connectivity, you get a MicroUSB port, an audio jack, and Bluetooth 5.0.
Realme says the phone will be on sale at 22:00 CET on November 27 for €159. So you may want to wait till then to get it for less. We don’t know if the other Realme phones sold in Europe will be discounted but there is no harm in checking.
The Realme Europe page says they currently only ship to Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom only.
