PHILIPPINES – narzo breaks away from realme as a standalone brand this July 14 as it launches two 5G-capable smartphones on July 14: narzo 50 5G and narzo 50 Pro 5G. Touted as “a game changer that will elevate the entry-level and mid-range experience for Filipinos,” the launch will be the first 5G capable phone under the narzo brand.
Previously known as realme narzo, the arrival of the narzo 50 Series follows three models launched earlier in the Philippines: narzo 50, 50A, and 50A Prime.
We are beyond excited to announce narzo’s official arrival in the local market … this is the very first time that narzo will be its own unique entity, and not just a smartphone series under the realme brand. Out of the six other countries in Southeast Asia wherein narzo is present, we specifically chose to launch it first in the Philippines because of how well-received our earlier models have been in the past two years.
– Allen Yin, the Country Manager, narzo Philippines
Inheriting realme’s genes for disrupting the market with consumer-centric innovation, narzo’s game changing stance is backed by cutting-edge technology which they promise to deliver at an accessible price point.
According to narzo Philippines, this strategy is aligned with the brand’s goal of empowering more and more Filipinos in the digital age through competitive smartphones that offer the best bang for their buck.
