A few days ago, realme India CEO Madhav Sheth revealed that realme will launch an affordable 5G phone in India. He previously said that the brand will not launch a 5G version of the realme 9i for India in the near future, citing the fact that there is no 5G network available in India yet.
But with the opening of 5G spectrum auctions in India, officials have also confirmed that the 5G network in India will be launched in October. Now, realme says it will hold a launch event at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 18. In addition, officials have previewed the new phone’s specifications.
