By Earlier today, we saw the Geekbench test results for the Realme V5 from which we got to know that the device will have a 6GB RAM variant and it will also come with the new MediaTek 720 SoC. While the chipset isn’t going to awe you with its performance, what it brings to the table is 5G capabilities without breaking the bank.
At present, most users in regions outside of China are able to experience 5G on their mobile devices thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC or the mid-range Snapdragon 765 SoC found on phones such as the OnePlus Nord. However, Qualcomm’s offerings are not exactly “affordable” in many regions. Take for example the OnePlus Nord, which, in many regions is the cheapest 5G capable smartphone.
But with a price starting at INR 24,999 — the OnePlus Nord is not an affordable phone. Therefore, several smartphone vendors have decided go opt for the cheaper MediaTek 5G capable chipsets to bring phones with support for the next-gen connectivity solution to the masses. And as more users get their hands on 5G capable phones, telecom networks would be hard-pressed to roll out their 5G networks sooner rather than later. Thus, its a win-win situation for us as users.
Nevertheless, while we continue to wait for the MediaTek Dimensity SoCs to show up in more devices outside of China, the Chinese market will welcome a new affordable 5G capable deduce tomorrow, in the form of the Realme V5.
