Realme seems to be gearing up for a full-fledged 5G lineup of phones this year as in discussion with folks at BGR, the company CEO Madhav Sheth revealed that Realme is allocating 90% of its R&D in the 5G technology.
Realme’s current portfolio of smartphones is a mixture of budget 4G phones coupled with all the 5G phones in the premium segment. However, this may change. Realme is reportedly investing 90% of its research and development in the 5G technology.
“We are also investing millions of dollars for the beautiful aesthetics of the phones and how are we going to increase the performance on the 5G. We do not want bulky 5 devices. We have set out seven 5G R&D centres including one in India”, said Sheth.
Sheth further said that in future, Realme aims to be the 5G leader in the Indian market. Realme will launch 5G devices above ₹15,000(~$201) in the country. Although not confirmed, this could be mainly because of the rise in budget 5G-enabled chipsets in the market. Some of the trendy chipsets with which Realme may launch its budget 5G phones are the Snapdragon 480, 480 Plus, 690 5G, Dimensity 700, 900, 920 and 810.
To corroborate, Realme is currently gearing for its upcoming Realme 9 series launch in the market. The upcoming Realme 9 and 9 Pro were spotted in certification sites with Dimensity 810 and Dimensity 920 respectively. As per a tipster, the 5G-ready series will launch in February 2022. The phones are expected to get their first release in European markets followed by other regions like India and China.
