The upcoming smartphones from Realme would mark the first time that the company is bringing proemium features to the Narzo series. The Narzo 50 did include a 120Hz LCD display clubbed with the Snapdragon 778 chipset. The company is expected bring an AMOLED display to the Narzo 50 5G series. It will also support 5G bands as the rollout of the technology will begin later this year.
