Realme 7 5G has been launched by Realme at a virtual event in the UK. The new Realme phone was originally speculated to be a rebadged Realme V5 that was launched in China in August.

It comes as an upgrade to Realme 7, Realme 7 Pro, and Realme 7i that were launched by the Chinese company in September. Realme 7 5G is also touted to be the first in its price range to offer dual-5G connectivity.
