Realme X50 5G Goes Official: 120Hz Display, Realme UI and More, But Priced on the Steeper Side

Under the hood, the Realme X50 5G has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The Realme X50 comes in four variants- 8GB+128GB, 6GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB and a Master Edition with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s no microSD card slot for expanding the storage.

The key highlight of the Realme X50 is the support for dual-mode 5G. Other connectivity options include dual Wi-Fi antennas, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and USB Type-C port.

Moving onto the cameras, we get a 64MP quad-camera setup on the rear side; However, Realme has gone with the 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW1 sensor, unlike Redmi which used the 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor on the Redmi K30. Other three sensors on the Realme X50 include 12MP telephoto shooter with 2X Optical Zoom support, 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with 119-degree field-of-view and a 2MP macro sensor is also present. Besides the punch-hole cutout on the front, the design of the smartphone is very much identical to other Realme phones like the Realme X2 Pro, Realme X2 and so on.

Other features of the Realme X50 include Realme UI based on Android 10, GameBoost with advanced cooling system underneath and a 4200mAh battery with 30W VOOC 4.0 fast charging technology.
