Realme branched out of OPPO last year to make devices which cater specifically to the expectations of young customers. The brand has been faring very well in markets like India on the strength of its affordable smartphones. Realme 3 Pro was recently announced in India, which was hailed as a flagship by the company. Today, we're getting to witness a more refined product – the Realme X – which comes with a pop-up selfie camera, 48MP rear camera, VOOC fast charging, and a lot more.
After much teasing from the company, the Realme X was just announced at a launch event in Beijing, China. It features a notch-less 6.53-inch AMOLED display which occupies 91.2% of the surface area on the front and appears to be curved along the edges. It is protected under Gorilla Glass 5 and produces 100% of the colors in the NTSC gamut. This display also houses a sixth-gen in-display fingerprint scanner from Synaptics.
The Realme X is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 mobile platform and comes in three different combinations of the RAM and storage. The three variants of the smartphone include 4GB+64GB, 6GB+64GB, and 8GB+128GB. Realme is touting that it is using UFS 2.1 for the storage, but we're not sure if it applies to all the three models or just the top model.
Equipped with a 3,765mAh battery, the Realme X also supports VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology. In terms of UI, the smartphone runs ColorOS 6.0 based on Android 9 Pie. Same as other OPPO devices, the Android skin comes with features like Frame Boost and Touch Boost, which in turn combine to make the core of the Game Boost 2.0. In China, the smartphone will also come with smart assistant Breeno.
In terms of photography, the Realme X features dual cameras on the back, with the main sensor being a Sony IMX586 with a resolution of 48MP and an aperture of f/1.7. The smartphone is using AI along with a technique similar to Google's HDR+ for a rich contrast in the images. Additionally, there's a dedicated night mode, just like the Realme 3 Pro. Further, the camera also supports 4K recording and slo-mo video at 960fps.
The pop-up selfie camera uses a 16MP sensor and also supports face unlock. The company says that it can eject in 0.74 seconds and won't malfunction for up to 20,000 releases.
Realme X Master edition
The Realme X will also feature a special "Master" edition that features a special "real" design inspired by the inner layers onion and garlic. The special design has been crafted by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, who worked with the Realme team to make 72 different iterations before choosing the final design. This special edition will only be available in the 8GB+128GB configuration.
Price & availability
The Realme X will be available in China in two different color options – white and peacock blue. Among the three variants, the 4GB+64GB version of Realme X will be priced at 1499 yuan (~$220), the 6GB+64GB at 1599 yuan (~$230), and the 8GB+128GB variant for 1799 yuan (~$260). Meanwhile, the Master edition comes at a price of 1899 yuan (~$275).
The company also revealed the Realme 3 Pro in China as the Realme X Lite, which will have three variants – 4GB+64GB priced at 1199 yuan (~$175), 6GB+64GB for 1299 yuan (~$190), and 6GB+128GB for 1499 yuan (~$220).
