The renowned mobile manufacturer Realme has launched its latest smartphone in the Indian market as part of its Narzo series – the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G. It introduces new features like rainwater smart touch and air gestures. However, it seems to be competing against the Redmi Note 13 Pro, which was released earlier this year in India.
