Realme says that its upcoming flagship will be "India's first 5G smartphone", as it will be launched a day before the iQOO 3 5G in the country. While 5G support will undoubtedly make the Realme X50 Pro 5G "future-proof", it isn't going to be a major selling point. Even though three Indian carriers are ready for 5G trials, commercial 5G rollout in the country remains a distant dream.

Just like iQOO 3 5G, Realme X50 Pro 5G will be powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 865 processor. Realme has also confirmed that the phone will feature a 90Hz AMOLED display with dual hole-punch cameras and 65W SuperDart fast charging technology.
