A few days ago, Realme India CEO, Madhav Sheth revealed that Realme will launch affordable 5G mobile phones in India. He previously said that the brand will not launch a 5G version of the Realme 9i for India in the near future. At the time, he claims that there is no 5G network in India, thus releasing such a smartphone is needless. However, with India’s 5G spectrum auction, officials also confirm that India’s 5G network will be official in October. Now, Realme says it will hold a launch event on August 18th at 11:30 am. In addition, the official also warmed up the specifications of the new Realme 9i 5G.
