According to India’s Flipkart landing page, Realme 5s will arrive on November 20th and will feature an upgraded main camera. Furthermore, it seems like a new Red color is going to be introduced. It remains to be seen whether or not Crystal Blue and Crystal Purple will make a comeback. That said, the new budget phone is a Realme 5 with a 48MP quad-cam.
Realme 5s sits right between Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro. Having the same Snapdragon 665 chipset with a massive 5000mAH, we’re hoping to see the switch to USB-C port for faster-charging speed. As for the rest of the specs, there’s the teardrop notch, HD+ display, and a capacitive rear fingerprint scanner. While no one mentioned about the price, it’s easy to determine given the info we have right now. Realme 5 starts at P6,990 and Realme 5 Pro at P11,990. Realme 5s could be somewhere around the P8K mark if it will ever launch in the Philippines.
