Realme banks on new 5G phones to boost China presence

Chinese smartphone vendor Realme unveiled its latest 5G smartphones in its home country, as the company eyes expanding its presence in the intensely competitive market.

The Realme V15 phones are powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 800U chipsets and come with a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 64-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel secondary sensor and a 2-megapixel tertiary sensor.

Xu Qi, vice-president of Realme, said as the company's first product in the new year, Realme V15 is designed with traditional Chinese cultural elements and the company hopes to have a good start in the upcoming Spring Festival sales season.

Launched in the middle of 2018, Realme is a fast-growing brand in the world, chiefly relying on its popularity in e-commerce sales channels and its resonance with young consumers.

The company said earlier that its products and services have been available in more than 59 countries and regions, and it has attracted more than 50 million users.
