Realme, the Oppo-backed smartphone brand which is gearing up to launch its first 5G smartphone in the Chinese market — Realme X50 5G, has been teasing the features of the upcoming device.
In the latest move, the company has shared a teaser poster of the upcoming Realme X50 5G smartphone which reveals that the device will come with support for dual-channel which will enable simultaneous use of Wi-Fi and 5G.
The company says that the Realme X50 5G will support dual-channel Wi-Fi and 5G for online connectivity at the same time, which can smartly increase the network speed under all scenarios. It further adds that the phone can be network accelerated and can make use of both 2.4GHz and 5GHz for Wi-Fi.
Realme has also revealed that the smartphone will cover all the mainstream frequency bands for 5G connectivity, including n1, n41, n78, n79 and will support both SA and NSA dual-mode networking with 5G.
So far, the Chinese company has confirmed that the Realme X50 will come powered by the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset. This is the same SoC that powers the Redmi K30 5G smartphone and will power the upcoming Oppo Reno3 Pro.
Rumors indicate that the phone will be equipped with a 6.44-inch AMOLED display. It could be coming with Sony IMX686 60-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad rear cameras and 32-megapixel + 8-megapixel dual front facing cameras.

When some users on Weibo inquired about the 120Hz refresh rate of the upcoming smartphone, Realme’s General Manager Wang replied, “If so, would you buy it?”. This strongly suggests that the company could offer 120Hz refresh rate on the Realme X50 5G.
The device could be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with VOOC 4.0 Flash Charge technology. The handset may come with up of 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. We expect Android 10-based custom ColorOS 7 running the smartphone.
As the phone is powered by a mid-range processor that it is integrated with a 5G modem, the handset is expected to arrive in China with an attractive price tag. The company is also set to launch the Realme X50 Lite (Youth Edition) along with the standard model. While the launch date is not yet known, a recent teaser hints at 5th January as the launch date.
