Remember when 5G smartphones cost well over AU$2,000? Those days couldn't seem further away with the launch of Realme's first 5G handset, Realme 7 5G, which has been priced at a staggeringly low AU$499.
The Realme 7 5G boasts some remarkably high-end features for its price point, including a 6.5-inch 120Hz display, 5G + 5G dual SIM support, Dolby Atmos and hi-res audio support, a massive 5,000mAh battery and fast 30W dart charging that's said to take your phone from 0% to 100% in just 65 minutes.
