The Realme X50 5G has arrived in Europe.
The phone became available earlier today, you can find it on Realme.com at a
price of € 350. There is only one memory configuration, GB of RAM and 128 GB
storage, and two color options, Jungle Green and Ice Silver (which is actually
blue).
€350 is the same price as the Realme 6
Pro, which uses the slower Snapdragon 720G chipset (and is 4G only) and the
6.6” screen tops out at 90 Hz. The Snapdragon 765G chipset inside the X50 brings
not only 5G connectivity, but a more powerful GPU to boot. And it needs it as
its 6.57” display has 120Hz refresh rate. However, the 6 Pro gets 2 extra gigs
of RAM at the same price.
Here’s an important note – the European
X50 launched as the X50m elsewhere. The two X50 models are pretty similar, save
for the cameras. The euro model gets a 48MP main camera on the back, compared
to 64MP on the other X50 and the Realme 6 Pro.
Also, this model loses the 12 MP telephoto
camera (2x zoom, 54 mm), which is available on the other X50 as well as on the
Realme 6 Pro. Finally, the secondary cam on the front is a depth sensor instead
of an 8 MP ultra wide cam. In terms of battery the three phones are essentially
the same – the new Realme X50 has a 4,200 mAh battery that can be charged from
0% to 70% in 30 minutes (a full charge takes 55 minutes). This is thanks to the
30 W Dart charger, which is powerful enough to go from 0-43% even while you’re
gaming.
The X50 supports 12 different 5G bands and
can automatically switch to 4G to save power then back to 5G when an app needs
a fast connection. It can also juggle dual-band Wi-Fi to ensure a fast, stable,
efficient connection. There’s also the Realme X50 Pro 5G, which is much
pricier, € 600. It does come with a Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon 865 and 65W
fast charger (plus the better camera version with 64 MP main and 12 MP tele
modules).
