Realme 5 to launch in India sometime before Diwali: Report

Realme took the wraps off the Realme X and Realme 3i smartphones at an event yesterday. Of the two, the former is the most premium device in the Chinese company’s portfolio. Going forward there have been rumors about the company working on the Realme 4 series, but now it seems that is not the case. As per a new report, the company is now working on the Realme 5 series.

In fact, there is no Realme 4 series in the works, 91Mobiles reports. The publication cites an unnamed company executive who has revealed these plans. This executive further says that the recently leaked Realme 4 retail box is fake. Just like the Realme 3 series, there will be multiple Realme 5 smartphones launching in India. The base model is likely to cost around Rs 10,000. There is also likely to be a high-end model that will be more expensive (and premium) than the new Realme X. Not much else is known about this upcoming Realme 5 series. The only other thing known is the fact that Realme plans to launch its new smartphone series in India sometime before Diwali.
