Specifications
Design
Rear and front panels are made of glass Gorilla Glass 5 protection Measures 161 x 75.7 x 8.7 mm and weighs 199 grams
This new flagship in the mobile device industry has a front and rear glass sandwich model that is protected with an aluminum framework. It’s a simple solution, but it is important to note that it is often seen on flagship devices around. It should also be noted that on both front and rear panels, Realme X2 Pro receives Gorilla Glass 5 scratch protection. The phone measures 161 x 75.7 x 8.7 mm and weighs 199 grams. It’s quite comfortable to hold in hand, but you will need to use both hands when it comes to controlling it.
The front side is covered with a 6.5” display with a waterdrop-like notch that houses a front-facing camera. Bezels around the phone are significantly thin, and the display area on the front panel takes up to 84%. The rear panel, on the other hand, has a quad-camera setup alongside a dual-LED flash and Realme Logo. A power button is mounted on the right-hand side with a slot for two Nano-SIM cards. The left-hand-side sports a set of volume rockers and the bottom of the phone gets a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, main microphone, stunning and loudspeaker and Type-C Port.
Display
It receives 6.5” Super AMOLED display with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution 20:9 aspect ratio and 402 PPI pixel density 90Hz refresh rate – ideal for gamers
Taking a look at its display, Realme X2 Pro is backed by a gigantic 6.5-inches Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display has an aspect ratio of 20:9 with a 90Hz refresh rate. It’s, indeed, ideal for gamers and most excitingly, you will be surprised to see the brightness of 1000 units which means it’s extra bright and it will enable you to use it in direct sunlight without any issue.
A super-fast fingerprint scanner is embedded into the display which works flawlessly, lightning-fast and accurately. The display, moreover, equipped with a night mode or reading mode too and, of course, a constant screen-on feature available too. Colours are punchy, vibrant and vivid enough and as far as the price is concerned, it will please you very-well as the picture has excellent viewing angles.
Camera
64MP + 13MP + 8MP + 2MP rear and 16MP front camera Images quality is fine in both daytime and at night 4K video shooting at 60fps
This flagship beast is loaded with quad-camera configuration – as mentioned above. The primary camera sensor is 64MP in size with an aperture of f/1.8, joined by 13MP camera (f/2.5), an 8MP camera (f/2.2) and 2MP sensor (f/2.4) for bokeh effect. The front side, on the other hand, is covered with a single but exquisite 16MP selfie snapper to help you capture memorable moments with your nearest and dearest.
Captured images by a rear-mounted camera setup are really good in both daytime and at night, according to sources. Images have more details and more than enough colours, but it struggles a little when it comes to capturing images in low-light condition. The primary 64MP camera is capable enough to shoot 4K videos at 60fps whereas the front 16MP camera can shoot only in 1080p at 30fps. When it comes to video, it has gyro-EIS, which makes your video smooth enough without any twitching. Autofocus works perfectly and accurately too. Some camera features include HDR, Panorama, Geo-Tagging, Touch to Focus, Autofocus, Optical Image Stabilization, and Phase Detection Autofocus.
Performance
Three variants offered – 6GB/64GB, 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ Chipset (7 nm) Good for gaming and multitasking
When it comes to buying Realme X2 Pro, one can choose it from three different tiers – 6GB with 64GB, 8GB with 128GB and 12GB with 256GB with different price tags. In every variant of Realme X2 Pro, there is the latest and powerful Snapdragon 855+ Chipset installed. The Chipset is based on 7-nanometer technology and based on reports, Realme X2 Pro has got an excellent score in all benchmarks, which is also a plus point to consider when buying.
It’s up to snuff in terms of performance, and it’s good enough whether you work on multiple apps at once or play graphics-enriched games like PUBG Mobile and others. The sources told NextGenPhone, you won’t get any delay or glitch while playing games as everything works smoothly even on the highest graphics. Most importantly, Realme X2 Pro doesn’t have a heating problem when it comes to playing games for a more extended period – so you can play your favourite games for a long time without any heating problem. It’s running on the Android 9.0 Pie operating system out of the box with the company’s own ColorOS 6.1 user interface on top. The brand has promised that it’ll receive an update of Android 10 as soon as it officially launches. The ColorOS 6.1 for most of us wouldn’t be so impressive, but it’s pretty enjoyable with similar icons and the principle of operation to the likes of OxygenOS as on OnePlus devices.
