After launching the Realme X2 Pro premium flagship smartphone in China and India, the company is now gearing up to launch its first 5G phone in the market. It has already confirmed that the Realme X50 will be the brand’s first 5G smartphone.

While the company has revealed some features of the upcoming Realme X50 5G smartphone, it has not yet confirmed the launch date. Now, it seems almost confirmed that the phone will go official before the Spring Festival in China.

A few days ago, a user on Weibo asked Realme’s product director if he can show off Realme 5G smartphone to his friends before the Spring Festival and General Manager Wang replied positively.

In addition to that, some users also inquired about the 120Hz refresh rate of the upcoming smartphone, to which Wang replied, “If so, would you buy it?”. This strongly suggests that the company could offer 120Hz refresh rate on the Realme X50 5G.

So far, it has been confirmed that the smartphone will come powered by the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset which has support for dual-mode SA/NSA 5G connectivity. This is the same chipset that is powering the Redmi K30 smartphone.

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 cameras.

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.

Since it is driven 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.
