In a bid to expand its portfolio of 5G devices, Madhav Sheth, the CEO of Realme India and Europe, has announced that all its future phones priced above ₹15,000 (~$200) will have support for 5G.

Realme is one of the manufacturers that has focused on releasing affordable 5G phones, and by setting a limit for devices that have 4G connectivity, it can turn its focus to 5G smartphones. The above statement was revealed in a tweet by the top executive earlier today but we do not know if it has any such price limit for other markets.

With the new price benchmark, it is safe to say that the Realme C series, which is its most affordable line, will stick to 4G. We should also see some models of the Narzo line as well as its number series continue to offer 4G connectivity. The Realme X series and higher-specced models of the number and Narzo series will be the ones with 5G.

It is no surprise that Realme is focusing on 5G smartphones. Counterpoint Research, ranked it as the No.1 5G smartphone brand in India for the month of May. It will want to retain the title by providing more models for buyers. The CEO revealed that it has converted 90% of its R&D resources to the development of 5G technology and products. It also plans to invest $300 million globally in 5G research and product development.

Mr. Sheth has also confirmed that the Realme GT will launch in India this quarter and it will come alongside “multiple GT products”. The brand also plans to announce more 5G Narzo phones.
