After being teased and leaked in the heads up to the launch, Realme X50 5G has been announced in China. The X50 5G is the company's first attempt at 5G networks supported smartphones that are going to be in trend in 2020.

5G network deployment is underway in many parts of the world, however, India still awaits any official notification on the 5G rollout. Having said that, Realme X50 5G supports dual-mode (NSA/SA) 5G networks, so the company could launch it in India in the coming months.
