Right now, there’s nothing that can overshadow the hype of 5G technology. In such a scenario, smartphone companies have started a trend to incorporate it into their products. Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, ZTE, among others have promised new 5G capable smartphones in 2020. And now there is a new brand joining the trend – Realme. After numerous leaks and teasers, the Chinese smartphone brand has finally launched its first 5G smartphone — the Realme X50 5G.
Realme X50 5G Specs Overview
The Realme X50 is powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 765G processor which comes with Snapdragon X52 5G modem. The chipset is featured in Xiaomi’s Redmi K30 and OPPO Reno3 Pro. Talking about the Snapdragon 765G, it is a 5G-ready chip just like the Snapdragon 765 but with further enhancement to improve the gaming experience. It comes with 10-bit HDR gaming support and high display refresh rates. Qualcomm also claims boosted clock speed of up to 2.4GHz on the chipset.
with the Snapdragon 765G, you won’t have to worry much about network compatibility, as it can support both SA (Standalone) and NSA (Non-Standalone) 5G standards, along with the mm-wave. There will also be a feature to allow you to connect to a 5G network and Wi-Fi simultaneously for better stability.
The display in the Realme X50 is a 6.57-inch 1080P IPS LCD panel with a smooth 120Hz panel. Weirdly, it lacks the Super AMOLED panel, considering all of Realme’s X-series had one. The display features a pill-shaped hole to accommodate the dual selfie camera of 16MP regular and an 8MP ultra-wide.
On the back, there’s a quad-camera setup that comprises of 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor, 12MP telephoto, 8MP wide-angle, and a 2MP macro. Battery-wise, you get a 4200mAh battery with enhanced VOOC 4.0 30W fast charging technology. The Realme X50 5G will ship with two color options: Polar White and Glacier Blue.
In terms of software, it runs on Android 10 with Realme’s custom UI. It’s the first Realme phone with its own Realme UI, after ditching the Oppo’s Color OS.
