New Realme phones unveiled to popularize 5G

Chinese smartphone vendor Realme unveiled its latest 5G smartphone series, Q3, in China, as part of its broader push to offer consumers more cost-effective devices.

Xu Qi, vice-president of Realme, said as the world's fastest-growing major smartphone brand, Realme maintains its growth momentum. Phones in the company's Q2 series have become the first models in the Chinese market that have sold more than 1 million units.

Xu said he hoped that as the successors of the Q2 series, the Q3 series smartphones, priced from 999 yuan ($153.9) in China, will continue strong sales momentum.

The Realme Q3 pro, the relatively expensive version in the Q3 series, is powered by chip company MediaTek's Dimensity 1100 chipset, and it features a 6.43-inch display, with a fingerprint reader built into the screen, and a triple camera on its back.
