Realme 5G phones to be ready before India starts services: CEO Madhav Sheth

Smartphone maker Realme has said that it will be ready with its 5G devices before telecom operators in India start offering the fifth generation network services.

Speaking to reporters here, Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth, however, said that the timeline for launching 5G phones is, so far, not clear.

“We will be launching 5G services much before the operators… we want consumers in India to enter 5G services as such,” Sheth said.

The Indian government plans to roll out 5G connectivity services by 2020 and the trial run for the operators for a three-month period will start next month. The trial period might be extended for a year if the operators need time for stabilisation.
