Realme also teased the X50 will have liquid cooling technology with an 8mm diameter copper tube. The phone will also be aimed at the gamers and it's also said to have a 90Hz refresh rate, similar to the Oppo Reno 3 Pro. The Redmi K30 5G offers a 120Hz screen in the mid-range segment, something which we haven't seen in the past.
Furthermore, the Realme X50 will feature Oppo's latest Enhanced VOOC 4.0 Flash Charge technology which is capable of charging a 4000mAh battery in less than 50 minutes. Realme says the X50 users will get 70% charge in just 30 minutes.

Realme X50: Will it Reach the Indian Market?
By launching the Redmi K30 4G variant, Xiaomi clearly stated its plans of bringing the handset to the Indian market and other markets where 5G will not be launched soon. However, there's no such confirmation from Realme and we don't even know whether the brand is planning to launch a 4G version of the Realme X50. If it launches, it will be interesting to see which chipset Realme will use for the Realme X50 4G.
Realme is also said to be launching only 5G phones in China going forward. The Realme X50 official launch is set for January 7 during which we will get to know more details regarding the smartphone.
