Today, Qualcomm took wraps off its latest mobile platforms – Snapdragon 865, 765 and 765 5G. While companies like Nokia, Oppo, Xiaomi and Motorola are already on board to launch smartphones with the new chipsets, Realme has announced that it will be the first smartphone manufacturer to launch handsets powered by the Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765G SoCs. The latest announcement comes from Realme's Chief Marketing Officer, Xu Qi Chase. He took to Weibo to announce, “Realme will be the first to carry 865 and 765G” (machine translated).
Notably, Xiaomi confirmed during the launch of Qualcomm’s latest SoCs that it will launch the Mi 10 flagship powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC in Q1 in 2020. Oppo has also said that it has plans to launch a Snapdragon 865-powered phone in the first quarter of 2020. Now, Realme has joined their likes and claimed that it will be the first to introduce the flagship Snapdragon 865 and mid-range Snapdragon 765G chipsets to the consumers.
Most smartphone manufacturers are jumping on the 5G bandwagon in preparation for the launch of the network. While the phones mentioned above could make their way to China within the next two months, it is unclear if they will launch in India since India does not have 5G infrastructure yet.
Earlier, Realme X50 made its way to the rumour mill. The specifications of Realme X50 have allegedly leaked online and it is tipped to be Realme’s first 5G smartphone. Hence, chances are that it could be powered by Qualcomm’s latest offerings. The smartphone is said to come with a 90Hz, 6.44-inch AMOLED display. It may also come with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Realme X50 could also come with a quad rear camera setup, which includes a 60MP primary camera with Sony IMX686 sensor, an 8MP wide-angle shooter, and two 2MP shooters (one for macro and one for portraits). It may come with a dual selfie camera setup on the front as well, including a 32MP shooter and an 8MP wide-angle lens.
