Realme X50 5G has been confirmed for a launch in Russia. However, finer details like the date of launch and exact pricing have yet to be announced.
In 2019, MTS, the leading network provider in Russia launched its 5G coverage in certain cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. Notably, the infrastructure and equipment used by the service provider for the faster and newer bandwidth are from Huawei. The Chinese tech giant is well known for its network and related technological supplements and has brought mmWave and sub-6GHz standards to the largest nation in the world.
Thus, Russia is now slowly emerging as another viable 5G smartphone market like the US and Canada. Hence, Chinese smartphone manufacturers like Realme can launch their 5G enabled smartphones. As of right now, China and South Korea are at the forefront of the networking advancement but other countries are expected to soon follow by the end of this year.

Realme X50 5G is a smartphone that features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G processor which houses a built-in X52 modem, which makes it capable of 5G networking. Keep in mind, it only supports sub-6GHz 5G so it is going to be limited by network provider/carrier support. In simpler terms, Realme X50 5G will support MTS but will not work with Tele2, since it launched a mmWave only network (in partnership with Ericsson) in Moscow.
For those interested, Realme X50 5G is a mid range smartphone that sports a quad camera setup on the rear. It is powered by a large 4,200mAh battery and offers RAM up to 12GB and internal storage up to 256GB. The premium end variant is priced at 2,999 Yuan which roughly translates to about 432 US Dollars.
