The upcoming Realme X7 series is expected to do it again. Originally released in China back in September, the series included two devices that had pretty decent specs for the price. The MediaTek Dimensity chips that power them also make the Realme X7 series one of the cheapest 5G phones available today.

The Realme X7 series consists of two devices, the Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro, powered by the flagship Dimensity 1000 Plus chipset and the mid-range Dimensity 800U chipset respectively. They could beat the OnePlus North as the cheapest 5G phone in India. The Realme X7 device is expected to launch in India soon.
