Realme V50, V50s


Realme has quietly launched two new budget smartphones in China. Both of them are 5G-enabled and are part of the same series. These devices go by Realme V50 and Realme V50s. Despite bearing different names, they come with the same set of specs. However, one of them is costlier than the other. It is worth noting that these phones resemble the Realme 11x but feature a different camera and charge at a slower rate. Let’s check out everything they have to offer.

The Realme V50 series features a flat-frame design and a circular camera module. They measure 7.89mm in thickness and weigh 190g. The handsets are built around a 6.72-inch centered punch-hole display. This LCD panel offers a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 120Hz refresh rate, and 680 nits peak brightness level. Further, they are powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus chipset. On the software front, they boot Android 13-based Realme UI 4.0.

They house a dual camera setup on the back. The primary 13MP sensor is paired with an unspecified secondary sensor, which is most likely a depth sensor. Whereas, on the front, there’s an 8MP snapper for selfies and video calls. The devices arrive with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MicroSD card slot, and a 5,000mAh battery. Their charging speed is not mentioned. Hence, they likely support standard 10W or 18W charging.

As mentioned in the beginning, the Realme V50 and Realme V50s are almost the same as Realme 11x, which comes with a 64MP main camera and 33W charging support. The Realme V50 series carries the following price tags in China.
