Realme X50 Pro 5G Review 

Realme X50 Pro 

OUR Opinion

Realme X50 Pro is a flagship smartphone with top-of-the-line hardware and Realme UI out-of-the-box. Being 5G compatible, it's future-proof for when the commercial rollout happens and is priced at a sweet spot, which is going to become a battleground in the coming months.

PROS

• Performance beast
• High refresh rate screen
• Speedy 65W fast charging
• Matte finish design
• Decent cameras for daylight

CONS

• No microSD card slot
• Slightly heavy
• Below average low-light camera performance

Realme X50 Pro 5G is the second flagship smartphone by the company after the X2 Pro. It is also the first smartphone in India to ship with Snapdragon 865 5G chip and is faced with a conundrum as there is no live 5G network in India yet. 
As to when can we expect a 5G rollout in India, the answers may vary depending on who you’re asking. According to Rajen Vagadia, VP & President at Qualcomm India, there were around 34-35 million 4G ready smartphones in the hands of consumers before 4G was rolled out commercially in 2016. 

With the X50 Pro, Realme together with Qualcomm wants to do just that and it’s not the only one. Vivo’s upcoming IQOO 3 will be available in two variants-- 4G & 5G, leaving it to the user whether they want to switch to a 5G enabled phone right now or wait till a commercial rollout begins.
With that out of the way, Realme X50 Pro can be called a spiritual successor to the X2 Pro which was launched in 2019. It is a flagship smartphone through and through and brings the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 chip to the sub-Rs 40,000 budget segment.

Realme X50 Pro price and availability

Realme X50 Pro is available starting at Rs 37,999 for the base variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and Rs 39,999 for the model with 8GB RAM. The maxed-out X50 Pro has 12GB RAM and 256GB storage and is priced at Rs 44,999 in India. 
It is available to purchase from the Realme India store and Flipkart. It comes in two colors-- Moss Green and Rust Red.
