Realme had recently launched its latest premium flagship device, the Realme X50 Pro 5G. The smartphone arrived with top notch specs and features, however, the company did not launch a Master Edition. Many were curious as to why that was the case, and now we finally know for certain.

Xu Qi, the Vice President of Realme, responded to certain questions directed towards him online on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website. The senior executive addressed the questions and said that the Master Editions of Realme smartphone require a lot of time and effort. According to his post, the Master Editions need long periods of time in terms of creative endeavors, polishing/refinement and even for research.

At the very least, it would still require the company six months of effort. This holds especially true for the handsets designed by Naoto Fukasawa. Previously, Realme had launched the X2 Pro Master Edition and X50 5G Master Edition. While the latter is based on cement themes, the former focuses on red brick aesthetics. Various dots and lines can be observed in the geometric design schemes which showcase its personality as well.

The Weibo post also mentions that the Naoto Fukasawa designs every 6 months and that the company aims at releasing even “cooler” designs from different genres. Thus, it can be assumed that a Realme X50 Pro 5G Master Edition may arrive sometime in the next few months. But that is still unconfirmed and we will have to wait for an official announcement to be certain. So stay tuned for additional information that should be available soon.
