It would also be available in two other variants, which will be priced at Rs39,999 for the 8GB + 128GB and Rs44,999 for the 12GB + 256GB. The devices will be available on Flipkart and realme.com from February 24 onwards.
“We are proud to unveil India’s first 5G, super-fast, performance-driven smartphone – the flagship realme X50 Pro 5G today. Sporting best in class performance, design and quality, the realme X50 Pro 5G is a trendsetter for the future and is our ultimate flagship,” Madhav Sheth, CEO, Realme India said at the launch.
The flagship phone, which was also simultaneously launched in Spain, is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, 6.44-inchdual mode 5G support 90Hz super AMOLED display and quad-rear cameras with 20x zoom.

Either one of the two SIM cards can be activated as the primary 5G SIM card. Notably, the 5G war in India has started even in the absence of a 5G network. Another BBK Electronics-owned company, iQOO is also set to launch its first 5G phone on February 25.
