The Realme sub-brand is set to give young people the opportunity to enjoy all the latest technology in the context of mobile gadgets. The first Realme flagship, equipped with a powerful charger and an advanced processor, will be able to compete with the most popular models from the budget segment.

How much does the Realme X2 Pro cost? What is the battery capacity? How does he take pictures at night? Where can you buy profitably? We will try to find answers to all questions and figure out what is special about the new product of the fall.

Brand name

BBK Electronics is a Chinese home appliance manufacturer that founded its consumer electronics division known as Oppo in 2004. Already Oppo in 2018 on May 4, Youth Day in China, founded its sub-brand - Realme.

Despite a short stay on the market, the young brand has its own audience, there are popular models that are left positively reviewed. The smartphones of this company do not yet fall into the rating of the highest quality gadgets from the best manufacturers, but they have every reason to be there in the coming year.

What attracts the gadgets of this brand? There are several reasons:

• stylish design;
• availability;
• a decent percentage of the working surface of the display;
• new technologies.

With all the advantages, these smartphones remain budgetary, which allows the younger generation to become the owner of one of them. Surely this contributed to several sales records, especially in India and Asia. Finally, consider the new product in more detail.

Realme X2 Pro review

As already mentioned, the presentation of the Realme X2 Pro should take place on October 15 in China. Accordingly, the official start of sales does not have to wait so long. Although insiders still managed to get hold of the gadget.

The X2 Pro will be an improved model of its predecessor Realme X2 with a more advanced processor, a larger screen and other nice innovations. The new model will delight both gamers and people who are absorbed in their work. Although, there is a feeling that any user will be interested in getting to know this device.

Equipment

Not the most creative section of the review, but it is still necessary to mention what will be included in the kit:

• smartphone with a protective film;
• an assistant clip for opening the SIM card tray;
• Charger;
• silicone comfortable case;
• USB cable (with standard cord length);
• instruction manual for the device.

And, since we talked about the battery, it is logical that the adapter will be 50 W, it even sounds good.

Design

In terms of design, it's hard to say that no one has seen anything like this, but there are some chips. The back is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and the bezel is all polycarbonate to keep the price low. But still, the gadget looks stylish.

However, there are still changes, for example, the main module is now located in the center of the rear panel, when, as in the previous model, it was in the upper left corner. The location of the logo has also changed, which has moved from the lower left corner to the right side of the rear panel.

The power and volume buttons remain in place, the size of the audio jack has not changed.

They plan to release smartphones again in two colors, these are pearl white and pearl blue. Thanks to the glossy surface, the case will shimmer.

On the issue of dimensions:

• length - 161 mm;
• width - 75.7 mm;
• thickness - 8.7 mm;
• weight - 199 gr.

The device has grown a little and gained weight, but it is not critical and it should be comfortable to hold it in your hand. The problem of protruding the camera is solved by the included case.

Screen

Everything interesting begins with the interface. The enlarged screen features 6.5-inch Super AMOLED technology with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9.

The display supports Full HD + with a resolution of 1080x2340, where the pixel density is 396 ppi.

The main feature of the screen is support for a frame refresh rate of 90 Hz, i.e. unlocking the gadget using the built-in fingerprint scanner will take 0.23 seconds. Whether this is true or not, we will find out over time.

Space for the front camera is also left in the form of a droplet.

Judging by the indicators, the device is suitable for all sorts of activities, whether it is surfing the Internet, active games, video or banal email checking. It is difficult to say about the indicators of brightness and contrast that they are flagship, but the details of the images are expected to be good even if you operate the gadget in the sun.

Filling

The operating system is still Android 9.0 (Pie) with the ability to upgrade to Android 10.0, which is equipped with the latest version of ColorOS 6. The high-performance Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855+ (7 nm) chipset is installed, where the graphics accelerator is Adreno 640.

The processor accommodates 8 cores: 1 core with a frequency of 2.96 GHz Kryo 485 + 3 cores with a frequency of 2.42 GHz Kryo 485 + 4 cores with a frequency of 1.8 GHz Kryo 485.

Depending on the modification, the ratio of RAM to built-in memory will vary: 6 GB / 64 GB, 8 GB / 128 GB, 12 GB / 256 GB. There is a slot for memory cards, the allowable volume is 256 GB.

The characteristics of the smartphone clearly indicate that the gadget is really powerful, productive, and therefore reliable and suitable for watching videos and for "gluttonous" games.

It should also be recalled that the X2 Pro is equipped with the latest file storage standard - UFS version 3.0, which means that the read speed has increased by 80%.

Autonomy

The non-removable rechargeable battery X2 Pro with a capacity of 3900 mAh and which is equipped with fast charging technology according to the SuperVOOC Flash Charge with a capacity of 50W has already made some noise. There is information that the battery includes two 1950 mAh cells.

Thus, the owners of the new Realme model will be able to charge their smartphone 100% in 35 minutes. Agree, it's nice.

Wireless charging is still missing.

Camera

The main camera was equipped with four modules with the following indicators: a rear camera with a resolution of 64 Mp - f / 1.8, an ultra wide-angle lens with a resolution of 13 Mp - f / 2.4 and a viewing angle of 115 degrees, a telephoto lens with a resolution of 8 Mp - f / 2.3 and a lens with a resolution of 2 MP - f / 2.4, equipped with a depth sensor.

Led flash moved away from the lens unit.

The front camera will delight lovers of selfies, because it has a resolution of 32 megapixels - f / 2.0.

Support for AI systems makes it possible to take highly detailed images, which indicates good sharpness. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to make sure of how well the smartphone takes pictures using examples of photos, it remains to be patient.

Communications

This section also has its amenities, but about everything in order.

In general, the standard set is the presence of Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac, Bluetooth version 5.0, GPS, USB, etc.

However, the creators were pleased with the presence of wireless payment technology - NFC, which pushes the Realme X2 Pro forward, since in the budget segment it is rather a rarity.

In addition, the smartphone was equipped with various sensors, for example, a proximity sensor that turns off the display, reducing battery consumption and avoiding pressing the keyboard, gyroscope, etc.

Price policy

It is assumed that the average price will be from 28,000 rubles. However, it is difficult to orientate the price, it is better to wait for receipts in stores, there is information that the cost will be somewhere from $ 420-560 (approximately 27-36 thousand rubles). Naturally, the main cost factor is the amount of device memory.

You can find a novelty on the official website of the brand, in the well-known online store Aliexpress or on the ebay marketplace.How to choose where to buy? The question is quite individual, if you are ready to wait, then perhaps in the future you will be able to buy a device at discounts, if you are not ready, you should monitor the places of sale.

Specifications

As usual, for the purpose of convenience and arrangement of information, we include all the most important in the table.

Positive and negative sides

Having considered the main indicators of Realme X2 Pro, it will be logical to note what is valuable in it and what is not worth attention.

• performance;
• functional;
• charging power;
• cost.

• minor bugs.

It is difficult to judge a gadget, after all, you need to not just “use” it, but also check it with time.

Outcome

Realme has created a smart and powerful smartphone that will be able to compete with its many rivals. And, perhaps, many will no longer have the questions "Which company to buy a smartphone?" or "Which model is better to buy?" Although everything, of course, depends on what your selection criteria are.

Having studied all the technical characteristics of the next novelty of the fall, the confidence that for such money is a worthy smartphone with a good camera, with good sound, in a stylish design has not gone away.

However, it is up to you to purchase it or make a choice in favor of other models and manufacturers.
