We love special edition phones, sometimes for the phone itself when it is also customized and has special features, and other times it is the retail box and the extra goodies inside. Of all the special edition boxes I have seen, the one for the Realme X50 New Year Edition might as well be the most colorful.
Photos of the Realme X50 New Year Edition were originally posted on the Weibo account late last month but we missed it. Nevertheless, they were reposted on Twitter yesterday by Francis Wang, the CMO of Realme India.
The retail box highlights the Chinese New Year with a cartoonish and colorful style. If all retail boxes were designed this way, I wouldn’t mind collecting them as a hobby.
From the images, it appears the Realme X50 New Year Edition comes with the red variant of the Realme Fast Charge Power Bank, the orange version of the Realme Buds Wireless earphones, a bunch of colorful red envelopes, a calendar, and of course a unit of the phone included in the box.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as if Realme will be selling this special edition as there is no info about purchasing it both on their social media channels and on their official website.

The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 765G processor with 6GB, 8GB, or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of non-expandable storage.
There is a quad-camera setup on the back of the phone that includes a 64MP primary camera, a 12MP telephoto camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. The primary front-facing camera is a 16MP primary sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera.
The Realme X50 also has NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and Dual-SIM with 5G support. It packs a 4200mAh battery with support for VOOC 4.0 (30W fast charging) and runs Realme UI based on Android 10 out of the box.
