Agreed that 5G hasn’t arrived in India and not even a tentative month can be given for its launch, one company understands the power of the technology. Realme wants to keep its customers 5G ready and some of them may get to experience it while travelling overseas for work in the coming months. “5G network will bring a new lifestyle which may not be imaginable right now,” says Madhav Sheth, vice-president, Realme, and chief executive officer, Realme India and Europe. The man who has spent a considerable part of his childhood in Calcutta, is also surfing a smartphone wave with ease, thanks to the recent launch of Narzo 30 Pro 5G. Here’s more from Madhav Sheth.

Narzo 30 Pro 5G. What makes the phone special?
Narzo 30 Pro 5G is a special offering which truly embodies the Narzo philosophy of ‘power meets style’ with enhanced 5G capabilities. It is most powerful 5G gaming mid-ranger as well as the first 5G smartphone at a never-before price in the country and comes with the highly acclaimed MediaTek Dimensity 800U 5G Chip with 5G+5G DSDS, benchmarking at 340,000-plus. The phone also gives a dual SIM dual standby with 5G and supports mainstream 5G bands, so that the smartphone is protected from obsolescence for the next five years. The smartphone also comes with a 6.5-inch display with ultra smooth120Hz refresh rate with a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. It’s equipped with a massive 5,000 mAh battery that can be charged to 100 per cent in 65 minutes with the newly upgraded 30W Dart Charging.
Though Realme is delivering 5G very well, don’t you think the technology will take time in India? Since Realme offers two years of updates to its phones, do you think 2022 will be a better time to put more stress on 5G?
Well, firstly a 5G Smartphone is not just about the 5G network. It’s the power of the latest nano-scale 5G processor which provides enhanced power management, display optimisation, camera support, gaming performance, and so on, combined with Realme’s gene of design, technology and quality. Consider 5G as a value add.
Second, even though 5G is not yet available (in India), the 5G network will bring a new lifestyle which may not be imaginable right now, just like how we did not imagine the convenience 4G will bring five years ago. Realme believes in being future-ready.
We have received more and more feedback from consumers and the market enquiring about 5G. People are taking it more and more seriously to be future ready and beneficial from 5G.
This is why half of our products in 2021 will be 5G and all products above 20k will be so, so that consumers can access enhanced capabilities and 5G support.
What are some of the other products — besides phones — we are going to see from Realme in the coming months? With the new college session just a couple of months away, are we going to see a laptop?
We have launched some unique gaming accessories along with Narzo 30 series. These include Realme Mobile Gaming Finger Sleeves, Mobile Game Controller and Cooling Back Clip.
We are still checking with our fans about their most expected products. We have received a high demand for speakers, so we have started planning our product pipeline accordingly. You will see more launches from Realme TechLife AIOT eco platform soon.
