Yesterday, it was officially announced that the Realme X (and Realme X Youth Edition) will launch on May 15 in China. While we wait, the company’s CMO, Xu Qi Chase has shared a live photo of the device. The image highlights the phone’s full-screen display.
The Realme X won’t have a notch or thick bezels like any of its predecessors. The bezels have been slimmed down for a bezel-less appearance, save for the chin which is just a little bit thicker than the rest. Since the top bezel is too thin to house a camera, the Realme X has adopted the pop-up selfie camera design. Sadly, the image doesn’t show the camera.
One thing the photo does show is a confirmation of the launch date. The date on the phone is May 15, the same as the release date. It also confirms the time which is 1500hrs.
The Realme X uses an OLED display with curved corners. It is not the sharpest out there but it isn’t bad either. Based on TENAA images, we know it doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner on the back which means there is a sensor buried under the display. Realme says the phone has a screen-to-body ratio of 91.2%.
The phone has its power button on the right while the volume buttons are on the left. The picture doesn’t show the bottom so we can’t see the ports and speakers.

The Realme X was originally reported to be a Snapdragon 855 phone but a new leak revealed the phone is powered by the 8nm Snapdragon 730 processor. There is no evidence backing up any of the two reports. The Youth Edition, on the other hand, is said to be a rebrand of the Realme 3 Pro for the Chinese market.
