Realme has been teasing the new Realme GT 5G (aks Realme Race) for a long time. Last year while Qualcomm Tech Summit, Realme announced the collaboration with Qualcomm to launch the Snapdragon 888 SoC-equipped smartphone by the Q1 of 2021. Realme today launched the Realme GT 5G with a 120 Hz display, Snapdragon 888 SoC, and a 64-megapixel camera in China.

The smartphone will only be available in China mainland only. Right now, there are no intentions of Realme to introduce the smartphone to other markets like India, the EU, or the US. The smartphone is currently available in China with a price tag of 2,899 Yuan, which means 448 USD. Although there are negligible expectations of Realme to introduce it in the global market, and for a percent, if we consider the probability, the price will be much higher than the China pricing.
