NEW DELHI: Realme<\/a> on Thursday said it has partnered with Reliance Jio<\/a> to establish ‘True 5G<\/a>’ experience zone at selected Realme showrooms across India.
The smartphone brand in a statement on Thursday said it has collaborated with Jio for out of the box 5G standalone (SA), NR CA, and Voice over New Radio (VoNR) to deliver True 5G experience to Realme customers.
“We are also trying to constantly get best-bundled offers to our customers in partnership with Jio,” the company said.
Jio and Bharti Airtel<\/a> have started commercially rolling out their 5G services in India. The telcos are aiming to cover the entire country with their 5G networks, based on the standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) architecture, respectively, within 12-15 months.
Union Minister of Communications Ashwini Vaishnaw in a reply to a Parliament question on Wednesday said that telcos have expanded 5G services to 50 towns across the country since the launch on October 1.
Smartphone companies have also been pushing over-the-air (OTA) software updates to their respective devices<\/a> to enable 5G SA to support Jio’s network. Brands, such as Xiaomi, have also been reiterating that most of their phones are NSA-ready out of the box.
On Thursday, Realme launched its latest Realme 10 Pro 5G<\/a> smartphone series in India at a starting price of Rs 18,999, with support for 5G SA.
“Both these smartphones are equipped with flagship-level displays, and powerful 5G processors, reiterating our commitment to democratizing 5G in India,” said Madhav Sheth, CEO, Realme India, VP, Realme, and President, Realme International Business Group.
