Over the past couple of weeks, Vivo’s gaming-centric sub-brand, iQOO, has been running its campaign centered around the fact that it will bring the first Snapdragon 865-powered 5G smartphone to India. But, in an unexpected turn of events, Realme has today made a surprise announcement, wherein the company has confirmed that it will be the first to launch a Snapdragon 865-powered 5G smartphone in India.
In an official tweet sent out by Realme Mobiles, the company has today announced that it’s going to launch India’s first 5G smartphone, Realme X50 Pro on February 24 in New Delhi. This is a sly move on the company’s part, and now to New Delhi in an attempt to steal a bit of thunder from a new entrant.
