Realme smartphone brand was introduced in India last year and it arrived in China this year. Even though Realme is a relatively new brand compared to rivals, it has gained a lot of popularity in a short span of time. The recently launched Realme X2 Pro flagship phone has gained good popularity and the company is also working on to launch its 5G phone in China since the past few months. Realme had recently confirmed that it will be among the first manufacturers to use Qualcomm’s new dual-mode 5G chipset. It appears that the Realme’s first 5G phone’s arrival is close at hand as Realme China CMO Xu Qi has revealed some key details on it. He revealed that the company’s first 5G smartphone will be arriving as Realme X50 5G He stressed that with the new 5G lineup, Realme dares to break the conventional norms of technology.
Xu Qi further confirmed that the X50 5G will support both NSA and SA 5G networks. The teaser image released by him reveals a dual punch-hole setup housing the two front cameras. It appears quite similar to the Redmi K30 5G phone that is scheduled to launch in China next month. Qi further revealed that the device is branded True X50, and explained the reason behind the nomenclature. While the X denotes Realme’s maiden lineup that offers users a leapfrog experience, 5 stands for 5G connectivity, while 0 represents Realme’s open 5G leap year.
None of the technical specifications of the X50 5G are currently known. Considering the recent teasers, it is possible that Realme might launch the smartphone in China by the end of December. Qualcomm will officially reveal its dual-mode flagship SoC between December 3 and 5 at the Snapdragon Tech Summit. It could be debuting as Snapdragon 865 chipset. Realme is expected to launch the X50 5G shortly after the event.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 735 could be the first dual-mode chipset designed for mid-range smartphones. Reports that surfaced earlier this year had claimed that Realme could use an SD700-series SoC to power the X50. Things are adding up as the launch date approaches, and it is likely that Realme plans to use the SD735 under the hood of the X50 5G. Rumors further suggest that Realme could also be working on an X50 Pro, featuring the flagship SD865 SoC. However, readers are advised to digest this information with a pinch of salt, as there has been no official confirmation on the subject as of yet.
