The highly-anticipated Realme X has finally made its debut in China, and it’s easily the most lavish smartphone that the company has come up with to date.
The Realme X has a slew of similarities to the Realme 3 Pro, but with big improvements in some areas to up the ante. One of the biggest ones is the upgrade to a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, which enabled its in-display fingerprint scanner.
Realme was also able to achieve a good 91.2% screen-to-body ratio by eliminating the notch, and implements a pop-up selfie camera, just like what the OPPO F11 Pro has. This mechanism houses a 16-megapixel sensor for self-portraits.
Its biggest upgrade over the Realme 3 Pro is the cameras on the back. The Realme X brags a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 camera, which is the same sensor found on the more expensive OnePlus 7 Pro. There’s also the 5-megapixel depth-sensor for the portrait mode effects.
The Realme X will be juiced up by a 3,765mAh battery with VOOC 3.0 fast charging support.

Its official pricing and availability details in the Philippines are yet to be known. But since its smaller brother, the Realme X Lite, is basically a rebranded Realme 3 Pro, we might get this device locally with a different name. Let’s just wait and see.
