After teasing for days, Realme has finally launched the Realme Pad X in India. It is the brand’s third tablet in the country after the original Realme Pad and the Realme Pad Mini.

The Realme Pad X is the company’s most advanced tablet to date. It was first released in China in late May. The device is not only powered by a better chipset but also offers optional 5G connectivity.

The Realme Pad X tablet box comes with a 33W charger, a USB cable, quick start guide and an ejection pin.

Realme Pad X Design

The model we’ve got is the gray variant. Unlike the OPPO Pad, it has a very clean design with only a Realme logo and a camera module on the back, which is a 12 MP camera. Considering the very limited use of the camera, actually, it’s still acceptable. And of course, the back cover uses a plastic material, but it still looks good.

Although it’s just a budget tablet, there are still four speakers and two microphones on both sides, and it even supports Dolby Atmos! 

And you can see the power and volume buttons are next to the camera module. But unfortunately, there’s no fingerprint reader equipped on the tablet. 

Removing the SIM-card slot, we were surprised to find that the Realme Pad X actually supports up to 512GB storage expansion. Guys, that’s absolutely a rare design on today’s phones and tablets.

Realme Pad X Display

Realme Pad X comes with an 11-inch 2K LCD screen, it doesn’t support HDR or high refresh rate. But you have to know that the 2K resolution is already a surprise for such a budget model.

You can see that its colors and contrast are not especially outstanding. And because it just supports a 60Hz refresh rate, if you’ve been used to the higher refresh rate on your phone, you may need to take a little time to get used to these changes. However, it’s more than good enough to watch most videos or films, or just have online classes.

There is an 8MP wide-angle front camera at the top of the screen with the Limelight feature, which allows your face to always stay in the center of the picture during video calls.

There’s no special biosensor for unlock on the Realme Pad X, so you can only use normal facial recognition to unlock the Pad. Thankfully, it could be successfully unlocked in both portrait and landscape ways.

Realme Pad X Performance

There are a lot of Snapdragon 870 tablets released this year, but Realme chose a more economical solution for the budget version. But that doesn’t mean this tablet performs poorly. 

It comes with a Snapdragon 695 chip. From the benchmarks, we can learn that the performance is basically equal to half of a Snapdragon 888 model. So I didn’t really expect it to have a good gaming experience, but surprisingly in Genshin Impact, it can still run at about 45 FPS with a medium graphic setting. So if you don’t have that high demand for graphic quality, you can play most mobile games on it.

Due to the low power consumption of the chipset, it can maintain a low surface temperature no matter how long you play games.

You may be more concerned about the performance of the four speakers on the Realme Pad X since it officially claims the support of Dolby Atmos, so now let’s hear how it sounds.

I’m not sure if Realme is ready to send constant updates for the tablet software as a new player in the tablet market. The UI looks quite familiar with what we have on a Realme Phone. But it did feel smooth and responsive.

The software is based on Android 12, and personally, I think its user experience is similar to ColorOS For Pad.

Smart Side Bar is one of my favorite features. You can access many shortcuts and apps quickly on any interface, or start the split-screen mode for multitasking.

The Game Assistant is also reserved for the Pad, and Bullet notification will show you messages in a non-intrusive way when you are playing games. You can also instantly reply to them with the floating window.

In some ways, it may provide a better gaming experience than most other budget tablets, or even the cheap variants of the iPad.

Realme Pad X Battery Life & Charging

Like the OPPO Pad, the Realme Pad X supports up to 33 watts of charging and takes about two hours to get fully charged.

Thanks to the Snapdragon 695’s low power consumption, you don’t really need to care too much about its battery life, it can even reverse-charge your phone when you need.

So this is all about the unboxing and quick preview of Realme Pad X. It’s not a powerful flagship, but the elegant design and the Realme software make it more than good enough for daily use.

The biggest drawback I can find is that the current Realme UI doesn’t support parental control yet. Well, I’m not sure whether you need it or not. Anyway, we’re still looking forward to Realme’s flagship tablet later on. But by far, if you need a budget tablet for light uses, I think the Realme Pad X is one of the best options.

The post Realme Pad X Unboxing & Hands-on: A Pretty Good 11-inch Budget Tablet appeared first on Gizmochina.

Late last month, Realme launched a new tablet in China called Realme Pad X. It is the brand’s first tablet in its home country. The product is expected to debut in India this month. Ahead of its release, I would like to share my opinion on why it could be a game-changer in the region if it is well-priced.

According to Counterpoint Research, ₹10,000-₹20,000 is the most popular price segment in India for tablets. It covers more than half of the total tablet market in the region.

The key players in this segment are Lenovo and Samsung. The former’s Tab M8 and Tab M10 are some of the hottest products.

However, none of these Lenovo tablets or the Galaxy A series tablets from Samsung can be considered value for money. They offer an inferior set of specs for the asking price.

Realme tried to shake the market with the introduction of Realme Pad late last year. The company’s first-ever tablet provides better hardware than the competitors. Despite debuting around the last quarter of 2021, the brand managed to grab a 4% market share.

Now, the company is gearing up to launch the Realme Pad X in the country after releasing the Realme Pad Mini last month. The brand’s third tablet for the region will reportedly go official in the first half of June.

The Realme Pad X starts at ¥1,299 in China for 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The price roughly translates to ₹15,000. If the brand manages to price it below ₹20,000 in India, then it could be a stellar option for consumers.

Because unlike other tablets under ₹20,000 in India, the Realme Pad X houses a faster chipset. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, the same chip that’s found inside smartphones like Realme 9 Pro 5G and Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5G.

On other hand, most of the tablets from other brands are powered by entry-level Mediatek chips. As a result, these tablets are slower and age quickly.

Further, the Pad X from Realme supports 33W fast charging, DC dimming, and stylus input (optional accessory). It also houses Dolby Atmos-supported quad speakers and a front-facing camera with Apple’s Center Stage-like feature.

The aforementioned features cannot be found on any other tablet under ₹20,000 in India. Hence, they make the Realme Pad X stand out in the crowd.

Hopefully, Realme ships the tablet with the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 for Pad (a fork of ColorOS 12 for Pad found on Oppo tablets) like in China. Because the two international tablets from the company run a near-stock version of Android with no special features like PC Connect.

Having said that, if the starting price of Realme Pad X crosses ₹20,000 in India, then it would be a tough sell. Because the Xiaomi Pad 5 offers even better value for ₹26,999 or less depending on discounts.

The tipster does not mention the specific launch timeline but does confirm that the Indian variant will also feature the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, just like the Chinese counterpart. However, one difference could be the connectivity offerings as the Chinese model offers WiFi-only connectivity.

Realme Pad X Specs

The new tablet from realme comes with an 11-inch display with a 2K resolution. It’s an LCD panel with 450 nits peak brightness, DC dimming, and 16.7 million colors.

Under the hood, the tablet comes with the Snapdragon 695 SoC and pairs it up with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It comes in a WiFi-only variant and boots Realme UI 3.0 for Pad based on Android 12. The tablet offers software features, such as PC Connect, split-view, and Apple center stage-like functionality on the front camera.

The device also offers support for a stylus and is offered with an optional Smart Keyboard featuring a 1.3mm key travel. The tablet has a 13MP rear camera and a 105° front-facing front camera for optics. Other features include a quad-speaker setup with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio and an 8,340mAh battery with 33W fast charging.

In China, the tablet starts at ¥1,299 ($193) for the 4GB + 64GB variant, which roughly converts to Rs. 15000. So we can expect the device to come with an affordable price tag in India.

Realme has confirmed to launch the Realme Pad X in China on May 26. It will be the brand’s first tablet in its home country. Last week, the company officially disclosed the design of the product. At the same time, it has been also teasing some of the features for the past few days. The latest teasers reveal the specs of the display, battery, and more.

According to Relame’s Xu Chi Chase, the Realme Pad X will house an 8,340mAh battery. The device will carry support for 33W fast charging. 

The executive also claims that one can use the tablet without charging for a week. We all know that it’s not possible to get that good endurance unless the usage is very minimal.

Further, another teaser discloses that the front camera on the Realme Pad X will have Apple’s Center Stage-like feature. For the unaware, this feature keeps the subject in the center during video calls. 

The exec says that Realme’s implementation will be comparable to the Center Stage found on Apple iPads. It is worth noting that Realme is not the first Android OEM to introduce this feature as Samsung had already debuted it on the Galaxy Tab S8 series earlier this year.

Coming to the most important part, the Realme Pad will flaunt an 11-inch display with a 2K resolution. The LCD panel will have a sunlight mode and a TÜV Rheinland-certified hardware-level blue light filter.

Last but not least, the device will arrive with Dolby Atmos-supported quad speakers and a MicroSD card slot. 

Realme is yet to reveal the chipset powering the tablet. Maybe, it will announce the chip tomorrow.

Realme currently sells two tablets in multiple markets. However, none of these models are available in the firm’s home country. The company is planning to change it later this week. It is finally going to launch a tablet in China a few days from now. Above all, it will be a new tablet and not an existing product.

The third tablet from Realme is officially called Realme Pad X. The firm has disclosed the design of the device along with some of its specs. Additionally, rumors have also spilled some details on the product.

Let’s take a look at everything that’s known about the Realme Pad X ahead of its release.

Realme Pad X Launch Date

The Realme Pad X is set to launch in China on May 26. It will be made official at an event, which is scheduled to begin at 2 PM CST / 6 AM UTC +8 / 11:30 AM IST.

Interested readers can watch the live stream on Weibo.

Realme Pad X Design

The Realme Pad X will arrive in single and dual-tone rear finishes. The latter design is similar to Lenovo tablets but unsubtle. Even the Oppo Pad and the newly released Oppo Pad Air come with a similar design.

The tablet will have a 7.1mm thickness, a flat frame,  and a single rear camera will be placed on a rectangular island. The volume rocker will be located on the right side, while the power button will be found on the top.

There will be a USB Type-C port at the bottom flanked by speaker grilles on either side. Unfortunately, the renders don’t reveal whether there will be two more speakers at the top. But they do suggest a SIM card slot on the left side.

As far as colors are concerned, the Realme Pad X will be available in two single-tone colors (Star Grey, Sea Salt Blue) and one dual-tone color (Bright Chessboard Green).

Realme Pad X Specifications

The Realme Pad X will sport an 11-inch display. This screen will have a 2K resolution and will support stylus input. The brand will be selling a first-party stylus accessory separately.

The tablet will be available in at least two memory configurations, such as 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB. It is expected to come in WiFi-only and WiFi +  LTE variants.

The device is rumored to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. Anyway, it doesn’t appear to be true as the memory variants are too low for a tablet with a flagship-grade chipset.

Having said that, support for a 120Hz refresh rate and an 8,360mAh battery do sound reasonable. But it’s not certain whether the tablet will carry these features.

Usually, Realme reveals almost everything about its upcoming product before its launch. But this time, the brand hasn’t disclosed enough details about the Realme Pad X.
