Although Malaysia’s 5G rollout has been deferred for at least two more years, Realme has introduced a new Realme 7 variant with 5G. While the exterior looks the same as the 4G version, the Realme 7 5G comes with a higher 120Hz screen refresh rate and a slightly different camera setup.
Pricing and availability
