Why does this story matter?
Counterpoint's Q4 2021 data revealed Realme is the second-largest smartphone brand in India. A look at its February activities shows that Realme is not going down anytime soon. After introducing the 9 Pro series earlier this week, it is set to launch the Narzo 50—a budget-range handset with premium features. So, it is safe to assume Realme is now gunning for that first position.

The handset may bear a 6.6-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD display with either a 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate. It will be offered in Gray, Green, Speed Black, and Speed Blue color options.
