Realme’s new V series of 5G smartphones is coming to Europe

Realme kicked off 2020 with the launch of its first 5G-enabled smartphone — the Realme X50 5G. The device was shortly followed by the company’s first flagship 5G smartphone — the Realme X50 Pro 5G — which featured Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chip. Soon thereafter, the company launched the Realme X50m 5G — a slightly more affordable version of the Realme X50 5G. In a bid to make 5G devices more affordable and well within the reach of average buyers, the company debuted a new V series of 5G smartphones in China yesterday. As part of the new series, the company launched the Realme V5 — a MediaTek Dimensity 720 powered 5G device which is priced starting at CNY 1,499 (~$215).

The Realme V5 features a quad camera setup on the back, with a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a dedicated macro sensor, and a depth sensor. The device is powered by a massive 5,000mAh battery, with support for the company’s 30W Dart fast charging technology, 20W flash charging, and 15W USB PD quick charging. The device is being offered in two RAM/storage variants, with the base 6GB/128GB model priced at CNY 1,499 (~$215) and the 8GB/128GB model priced at CNY 1,899 (~$270).

While the new Realme V5 is yet to go on sale in China, the company has now revealed that it will soon be making its way to the European market. According to a recent statement from a Realme spokesperson, the Realme V series (the V5 in particular) will soon be launched in most overseas markets where the company currently operates in, including Europe. This news is in line with recent reports which suggested that phones with MediaTek’s Dimensity chips will start shipping on overseas devices later this year.
