The Realme X50 Pro Player has been spotted
running Geekbench 4.4 – as a gaming phone, performance is very important to it.
In fact, most of yesterday’s teasers were focused on its Snapdragon 865
chipset, LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
It matched the
performance of the Realme X50 Pro 5G perfectly, no surprises here as the
relevant hardware is almost the same (the UFS version is different, but
Geekbench doesn’t test storage speed).
Peak performance is one thing, sustained
performance quite another. To this end, Realme has created a multi-layer
cooling solution that includes a vapor chamber and graphite sheets. They cover
the chipset completely and help it run 10°C cooler. The vapor chamber covers
1,821mm² while the graphite sheets add up to 9,650mm². HyperBoost will ensure
stable frame rates by analyzing both user input and the state of the game.
The whole point of the Player edition is
delivering flagship performance at a lower price point – we already know that
the regular Pro is a great phone, but it costs CNY 3,600/€ 600. We’ve heard that
this gaming-focused version of the phone will start at CNY 3,300, but the
company is still keeping the price under wraps.
The version tested here packed 12GB of
RAM, which is the top-specced model. That would cost more, of course, but TENAA
revealed that there will be other configurations – ranging from 6GB of RAM and
128GB storage to 12GB of RAM and 512GB storage. The Realme X50 Pro Player will
be unveiled on May 25 along with eight other products, including the X3 series,
a smart TV, a smartwatch and more.
Until then, we’ll be getting morsels of
info like this: the Player edition will have a game center app, allowing you to
manage games and related features from a central place. You will be able to
enable “do not disturb” features that block calls and notifications or allow
texts and other messages to go through, displayed on a small window with the
option to reply without leaving the game.
For added immersion, the phone will pack
super linear speakers, it will support Dolby Atmos sound and will come with a Hi-Res
audio certification. Additionally, a linear motor will provide 3D haptic
feedback.
