Just one month after launching its first 5G smartphone — the mid-range Realme X50 5G, exclusive to China — the company announced its first 5G flagship for the global market: the high-end Realme X50 Pro 5G.The device is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset that's featured in nearly all flagship 5G devices, including Samsung's recently announced Galaxy S20 smartphone.
Realme's early strategy to focus on emerging markets has already proven successful, and we expect its shift to tackle the 5G global smartphone market to pay off.
