Recent months have seen multiple phones blasting in India, be it a OnePlus Nord 2 or the Poco M3 which caught on fire earlier this month. Now, a new case has surfaced with a Realme XT catching on fire.

According to a report by 91mobiles, yet another Realme XT has blasted while using. A similar incident concerning the same model occurred back in June 2020. Twitter user Sandip Kundu posted images pictures of the burnt Realme XT in question which belongs to his friend.

According to the Twitter user, the Realme XT device belonging to his friend blasted while being used. The images posted by him reveal a severely deformed and burnt back with the side panel completely burnt off. The display also sustained burn damage which is apparent from the pixel bleed on the screen. By the looks of it, it seems to be a blast that originated in the battery.

Luckily, other than some burnt bedding, no injuries or loss occurred to the aggrieved party. The Twitter user has also posted a video of the phone smoking on his bed after the initial blast occurred.

Realme‘s social media handle on Twitter has acknowledged the issue and has offered to help stating, “We would like to inform you that we have already contacted the person and also we have asked him to visit the nearest authorized service center. Please be assured, we will try our best to resolve his concern as soon as he visits us”.

Finer details regarding the cause of the incident are yet to surface, but the repeated incidents are a cause of worry for realme users.

Smartphone maker realme is yet to finish the rollout of the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 update for eligible devices. The latest phones to receive this update are realme 5 Pro and realme XT. Both these handsets were released in 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie, and therefore, Android 11 is their second major software update.

According to the official announcement posts on realme Community, the realme UI 2.0 update based on Android 11 for the realme 5 Pro and the realme XT is being rolled out in batches. 

This means the update is only available for a select few users. Anyway, like any other OTA system update, it should gradually reach every user in the coming days.

Having said that, the latest software update for these smartphones arrives with the following firmware versions.

• realme 5 Pro – RMX1971EX_11.F.03
• realme XT – RMX1921EX_11.F.03

Going by realme’s update track record, realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) should be the last major system update for these two phones. But they will continue to receive security patches and maintenance updates for a while.

The realme 5 Pro was introduced along with the realme 5 as the first two quad-camera smartphones from the brand. On the other hand, the realme XT launched as the first 64MP smartphone from realme in India.

The realme number series still exists, however, the realme X series has been now replaced by the realme GT series. The realme 9 series, which has been delayed to 2022, will be the next lineup in the number series.

realme announced the realme UI 2.0 and the realme X50 Pro flagship was the first to get the early access back in September 2020. Today, the company has revealed the early access roadmap for Q2 2021.

Back in September, when the early access roadmap was announced, realme showed a holistic list of devices and the timeline of the updates. Well, today, the update is specifically for the list of devices that are getting the update in respective months during Q2 2021. Let’s take a look at it below:

realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) Early Access Roadmap – Q2 2021

• April 2021

  • realme X7 Pro
• May 2021
  • realme X7
  • realme C15 Qualcomm edition
• June 2021
  • realme X
  • realme XT
  • realme 3 Pro
  • realme 5 Pro
  • realme Narzo 20A

To clear you up, this particular first wave of roadmap is exclusive only for India meaning the timeline will differ from other regions like SEA, Europe.

Apart from Q2, as confirmed earlier, realme has briefly teased that from Q3 2021, i.e from July, realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G and Narzo 30A will start getting the realme UI 2.0 Beta builds.

Speaking of which, the realme Early Access programs typically means the Beta build of the UI. That is, users of the above smartphones will get the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 Beta before the end of the said months.

The stable version will then be pushed at a later date which is currently unknown. Over the course of realme made the early access program live for narzo 20, realme 7, realme 6 Pro, narzo 20 Pro, and X2 Pro, realme 6i, realme narzo 10, and realme 7i.

The company has so far released a stable update of the realme UI 2.0 for only two devices- realme X50 Pro and realme Narzo 20.

Stay tuned to our channels as we update on this list of devices whenever the corresponding updates roll out.

Advancement in safety measures adopted in the manufacture of smartphones has greatly reduced the incidence of exploding phones. But there are pockets of cases here and there, most traced to defective batteries. The most prominent of such was the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. One of such rare cases has been reported in India where a Realme XT model exploded just 24 hours after purchase.

According to 91mobiles, the user claims the explosion occurred while the smartphone was left to charge overnight using the official adaptor in the retail box. However, Realme India has stated that the explosion was as a result of an “external force” which was applied to the unit and thus puncture the battery. Thus, this resulted in the battery going up in flames.

However, the owner of the Realme XT unit, Roshan Singh insists the model went up in flame while charging. He accused Realme’s service centre of inaction, claiming that when he shared the images of the burnt unit with them, a representative the brand concluded that an external force was applied by him on the unit by merely examining the unit.No physical examination or investigation was carried out. Upon further complaint on Twitter, Realme assured him that action will be taken on the incident but that promise has not been kept till now.

In an official statement released to 91mobiles, the company stated: “For us, one of the key pillars is product quality. Every smartphone manufactured by Realme goes through a number of stringent quality and durability checks as customer safety is of utmost importance for us. As per our investigation, we have learnt that the smartphone was damaged due to external force. The user’s smartphone battery caught fire as the smartphone was punctured from outside.”

Sadly, we have seen similar scenarios play out in the recent past but with Xiaomi models. Two of the cases involved the Redmi Note 7 Pro, the third was a Redmi Note 7S unit while the fourth was a Redmi Note 6 Pro. In all the reported cases, Xiaomi refused accepting liability claiming they were caused by previous damage to the phones. We never really did get to find out if Xiaomi ended up replacing the units. Roshan Singh may likely suffer the same fate but fair enough, the unit’s back panel looks like what may have shattered before the battery went up in flames. This falls in line with the claim by the company.

TWRP, which stands for Team Win Recovery Project is the most commonly used custom recovery on Android devices. It is essential to flash aftermarket Android builds (custom ROMs) as the built-in stock recoveries on the phones/tablets do not allow it. Hence, TWRP is the first thing to install if a user wants to use an alternate OS. The project supports a number of devices officially and now Realme XT, Realme X2, and Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 / 4 Plus also join the list.

Realme XT is one of the first smartphones with a 64MP primary camera. It was launched in India with ColorOS 6 based on Android 9.0 Pie on-board. Soon, an improved version of the phone called Realme X2 debuted with Snapdragon 730G instead of Snapdragon 712 but with the same software. However, both of them were recently updated to Realme UI based on Android 10.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 and Mi Pad 4 Plus. This duo launched exclusively in China with MIUI 9 based on Android 8.1 Oreo but it has received only one major update so far and that is MIUI 10. The underlying software is still Oreo and it is yet to receive MIUI 11 when the company is moved on to the development of MIUI 12.

But now, as these devices support TWRP officially, their users can finally use a solid trustworthy custom recovery to flash custom ROM, kernels, and mods of their choice.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has caused supply shortage, fluctuating Indian Rupee value and the hike of GST rate that goes into effect from today has caused smartphone OEMs to increase the cost of their handsets.

Motorola decided not to wait for Mobile World Congress to launch its new affordable smartphones: Moto G8 Power and G Stylus. The former is a very interesting battery phone and it even debuted in the global market with an interesting price tag. But it has a lot of rivals: two of the most awesome in terms of value for money are Oppo A9 2020 and Realme XT.

Is the Moto G8 Power the best choice for people seeking a large battery phone with high performance or there is something better with a similar budget? This specs comparison between Moto G8 Power, Oppo A9 2020 and Realme XT will help you find out.

Motorola Moto G8 Power vs Oppo A9 2020 vs Oppo Realme XT

Design

Moto G8 Power offers a more attractive design and even a better build quality, but personal tastes play an important role in this kind of choice. Moto G8 Power has a plastic back, but it is the only model to sport a sturdy aluminum frame (6000 series). Further, it is splash resistant and it has a futuristic punch-hole display instead of the usual and boring waterdrop notch. Realme XT comes with a glass back, but it has a plastic frame and it is not splash resistant. Oppo A9 2020 is entirely made of plastic except for the display. Motorola Moto G8 Power looks the most interesting one due to its aluminum frame and punch-hole display.

Display

The best panel is offered by the Realme XT: it is the only with an AMOLED display boasting more vivid colors and deeper blacks. And it delivers a Full HD+ resolution. The Realme XT even sports an in-display fingerprint reader which is not present on Moto G8 Power and Oppo A9 2020. Moto G8 Power takes the silver medal with a Full HD+ IPS panel. Oppo A9 2020 has a wider display, but it is inferior since it has a lower resolution and a lower level of detail (it is a 720p IPS panel). But this impacts positively on energy consumption.

Specs & Software

Realme XT provides the highest performance thanks to the Snapdragon 712 chipset which is an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 710 by Qualcomm. It is also the only with up to 8 GB of RAM, and it features UFS 2.1 internal storage. Oppo A9 2020 comes right after with Snapdragon 665 and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Moto G8 Power has an inferior hardware department, but it is the only to run Android 10 out of the box. On the other hand, Realme XT already received an update to Android 10 in the Indian market.

Camera

Besides having a better hardware side, Realme XT is also the device with the best camera department, although it is not a high-end camera phone. It has a rear quad-camera including a 64 MP main sensor able to shoot very detailed photos. But you should not underestimate the Moto G8 Power as it still comes with a pretty good 16 MP f/1.7 sensor and, unlike the Realme XT, it includes a telephoto lens supporting 2x optical zoom.

Battery

Moto G8 Power and Oppo A9 2020 come with a huge 5000 mAh battery. We believe Oppo A9 2020 will last more on a single charge due to its more efficient display (which comes with a lower resolution). Further, it supports reverse charging and it can be used as a power bank.

Price

Motorola launched the Moto G8 Power with a €249,99/$274 starting price, Oppo A9 2020 starts from €249/$272 and Realme XT starts from €259/$284. Moto G8 Power is a better device when it comes to the build quality, Oppo A9 2020 provides a longer battery life, but Realme XT is what power users would go for due to its AMOLED display and better hardware. There is not a perfect choice for everyone, it mostly depends on what you need more from a phone. That is why we will not pick a definitive winner of this comparison.

Realme brought an amazing smartphone lineup in Europe in terms of quality price ratio. In the price tag ranging from €150 to €300, you can currently find three awesome Realme smartphones in the global market. We are talking about Realme 5 Pro, Realme XT, and Realme X2. The differences between the user experience provided by these three devices are not huge, but they exist and they may be important for a lot of people. Through this comparison, we will try to help you make the right choice for your needs by highlighting the differences between their specifications.

Oppo Realme 5 Pro vs Oppo Realme X2 vs Oppo Realme XT

Design

Realme XT and X2 offer exactly the same design and it is definitely a superior design if we compare it to the Realme 5 Pro. While the Realme 5 Pro has a plastic design, both Realme XT and X2 offer a glass back, while the frame is still made of plastic. On the other hand, note that Realme 5 Pro is splash resistant, while XT and X2 are not. But if we consider the look, XT and X2 are actually a better choice due to their materials.

Display

Besides the design, Realme XT and X2 share another thing in common: the display. Both are equipped with the same 6.4-inch AMOLED panel boasting a Full HD+ resolution and an in-display fingerprint reader. Realme 5 Pro has a smaller panel with the IPS technology and still a Full HD+ resolution. Given that the 5 Pro has an IPS panel, it does not sport an in-display fingerprint reader, but it has a rear-mounted biometric sensor. In each case, you get a waterdrop notch. Realme XT and X2 offer a better image quality thanks to their better AMOLED panel, so go either for the XT or the X2 if you need the best display.

Specs & Software

The best smartphone of this comparison in terms of performance is the Realme X2. It sports a higher-end Snapdragon 730G which offers better CPU performance and way superior graphics performance. So it is amazing for both power users and gamers. Further, it offers the best memory configuration with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Realme 5 Pro and Realme XT share the same chipset and the same memory configuration in their most expensive variant. And in each case, you get the same software: ColorOS 6 based on Android 9 Pie out of the box. All of these devices will be updated to Android 10 this year and they will get the new Realme UI with several improvements.

Camera

Realme XT and X2 offer exactly the same rear camera department including a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. And this quad camera setup is better than the one found on the Realme 5 Pro. Note that Realme X2 and XT differ for the front camera: while the former has a 32 MP selfie snapper, the latter has just a 16 MP sensor. So overall, the X2 wins the camera comparison. Realme 5 Pro has the same cameras as the XT except for the main sensor of the rear camera setup, which is a 48 MP lens.

Battery

More or less the same battery capacity for all of these handsets, but Realme X2 lasts slightly more in most of the scenarios thanks to its more efficient Snapdragon 730G chipset built at 10 nm. Further, it has a faster charging technology.

Price

Realme 5 Pro starts from €199/$219 globally, Realme XT starts from €259/$285 and Realme X2 starts from €299/$329 (you can find them at lower prices thanks to online street prices). Realme X2 is the winner of the comparison due to its better chipset, front camera and charging technology. But if you do not need an incredibly powerful SoC, Realme XT is enough for you. Realme 5 Pro lacks an AMOLED display and it has a less impressive camera department, as well as a glass back. But its price is very affordable. Which one would you go for?

Enhanced Security, Audio and Communication – Realme UI also supports file sharing between Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. The presence of Dual Mode Music makes it connect with Bluetooth and wired earphones.

Focus Mode – It also adds the new Focus Mode as the Zen Mode in OnePlus smartphones.

Riding Mode – Bikers would love the new Riding Mode along with the existing Smart Driving Mode. In Riding Mode, the phone mutes all alerts except for incoming calls. There are various other changes that Riding Mode makes for the riders.

Dark Mode – As like the native Android 10, Realme UI has received the global Dark Mode support.

Apart from these, there are a ton of other changes for Realme UI.

The smartphone will feature a 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with Corning Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. In the camera department, it’ll come with the same setup as the XT — 64-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 primary sensor, an 8-megapixel 119 degree ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2 MP macro sensor.

On the front side, the device will be equipped with a 32-megapixel single camera sensor which will be placed in a waterdrop notch on the display. It could be running Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own ColorOS custom user interface. The phone will come powered by a 4,000mAh battery with support for 30W VOOC fast charging technology.

Oppo’s sub-brand is bringing a lot of its devices in the global market. In just two days, Realme announced that two more affordable smartphones are going to hit Europe. We are talking about the Realme 5 and the Realme XT, packing midrange-class specifications at very affordable prices. Alongside these devices, there are two other Realme mid-rangers in the global market: the 5 Pro which is nothing but a more powerful version of the Realme 5, and the higher-end Realme X2. Should you spend more on the X2 or its new siblings are enough? In order to establish which one is better for your needs, we decided to compare the specifications of Realme 5, Realme X2 and Realme XT.

Oppo Realme 5 vs Oppo Realme X2 vs Oppo Realme XT

Design

Realme X2 and XT are nearly identical when it comes to the design and we recommend them since they come with a glass back instead of a plastic body, unlike the Realme 5. Further, both their glass backs and their front panels are protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Realme 5’s body is entirely made of plastic, but it offers splash resistance. However, a plastic body is not as beautiful as a glass back. Also, note that Realme X2 and XT have a more compact design and they are even lighter.

Display

If you care a lot about the display, stay away from the Realme 5. While it is true that it offers a wider display diagonal, on the other hand, it has a lower HD+ resolution that is not amazing on a wide 6.5-inch panel. Further, it is just an IPS display. Both Realme X2 and XT offer a way better Super AMOLED panel with deeper black, more vivid colors and even a higher Full HD+ resolution. Realme X2 and XT have the same Super AMOLED panel with the same 6.4-inch size and the same under-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

Realme 5, X2 and XT are powered by different chipsets, so they offer different levels of performances, but all of them are mid-rangers. The most powerful is Realme X2 thanks to its Snapdragon 730G chipset. It is the best SoC from the Snapdragon 700 series by Qualcomm and it is perfect even for gamers thanks to its high graphics performance. The Realme X2 even offers a better memory configuration in its most expensive variant. So if you need the fastest and smoothest phone, do not think twice and go for the X2. The second place goes to the XT with its Snapdragon 712, while Realme 5 has a lower-end Snapdragon 665. In each case, you get Android 9 Pie out of the box, customized by Color OS user interface.

Camera

Realme X2 and XT have the same rear camera department that is better than the one found on the Realme 5. It consists of a 64 MP quad camera including an ultrawide sensor and a dedicated macro camera for close shots. Realme X2 and XT differ for the front camera: the former comes with a better 32 MP snapper, while the second has a 16 MP sensor. Realme 5 is inferior even when it comes to selfies with its 13 MP snapper.

Battery

Realme 5 is a more affordable and less powerful phone than Realme X2 and XT, but it offers longer battery life for two reasons. First, it has a bigger 5000 mAh battery and second, it has a display that is less energy-demanding. Realme XT and X2 offer more or less the same battery life (X2 slightly better thanks to its 8 nm chipset), but the latter has a faster charging technology.

Price

Realme X2 starts from €299/$331 globally, Realme XT starts from €259/$287. We still do not know the global price for the Realme 5, but given that the Realme 5 Pro starts from €199/$220, you can imagine its price range. There is no doubt about the fact that, overall, Realme X2 is the best. But if you do not mind about having the best camera and display, you might prefer the Realme 5 due to its amazing battery life and very affordable price. If you want good rear cameras and display, but you do not need the fastest performance and a Snapdragon 712 is enough since you are not a gamer or an advanced user, Realme XT is enough and it will allow you to save some bucks.

Realme has started rolling out the new RMX1921_11_A.11 update for the Realme XT model this week. The OTA update brings the latest October 2019 security patch to the device along with a bunch of other optimizations and features.

Alongside the latest security patch, the update also brings system-wide Dark Mode and Wide-Angle video shooting to the Realme XT. If you recall, recently, the Realme 5 Pro was also updated with these two features. Apart from these, the update brings camera features such as improved zoom, low-light optimizations, better white balance, and camera noise control.

Most Realme XT users should already have received the update, but for those who didn’t, you can manually flash it by downloading the ROM from here. Note that it’s a big file measuring over 2.87GB, so make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network before downloading it.

Realme has been gaining some decent traction with the Android community. Unlike most companies, Realme has been very dev friendly, allowing users to easily unlock the bootloader of its phones. They’ve also been releasing kernel sources for their devices ever since the Realme 1, and now they’re keeping with the trend by releasing kernel source codes for the Realme XT, Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro.

EDITOR’S PICK: Realme X2 Pro goes on sale in China today; starts at 2,599 Yuan ($367)

Kernel sources are very important for developers and power users. It allows them to dive deeper into the code that runs their device, allowing them to figure out different ways to improve their device’s overall performance and capabilities. Kernel source releases are also helpful for custom ROM development, which in turn benefits users who aren’t satisfied with the stock ROM on their phone.

With the release of the kernel sources for the Realme XT, Realme 5, and Realme 5 Pro, we expect to see a major boost in third-party development for these devices. All three devices run Realme’s ColorOS based on Android Pie. Since the devices are expected to receive the Android 10 update next year, the kernel source release spells good news for those of you who would like to try Android 10 before the official release.

After realizing the growth of Chinese smartphone manufacturers is literally endless, Samsung started focusing a lot on the midrange sector. And the success arrived immediately after: Samsung mid-rangers actually represent most of the best-selling affordable phones ranking globally. The company just unveiled the Galaxy M30s, another amazing device which could become a best-seller in the Indian market. We think it is time to compare it with the most popular mid-rangers in the Indian market at the moment in order to predict its success. We chose the best from sub-brands for this value for money comparison: Realme XT and Redmi Note 8 Pro.

Samsung Galaxy M30s vs Oppo Realme XT vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro

Design

I think the Realme XT is definitely the most beautiful and elegant device of the trio. It has the cleanest rear side thanks to its in-display fingerprint reader and a slim camera module, and it even has a glass back. While Samsung Galaxy M30s comes with a plastic body, the Redmi Note 8 Pro sports a glass back just like the Realme XT, but the presence of a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and its bigger dimensions make it less attractive than the Realme XT. That is essentially why I would choose the mid-ranger from Oppo’s sub-brand.

Display

While Redmi Note 8 Pro loses the comparison due to the presence of an inferior IPS display, Realme XT and Samsung Galaxy M30s will provide a very similar quality thanks to their AMOLED panels. The display of the Galaxy M30s is taller, but it is overall slightly smaller than the Realme XT. However, the Galaxy M30s looks to have a smaller notch. But the Realme XT is the only to feature an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

Redmi Note 8 Pro is the clear winner of the hardware comparison as it features a more powerful and gaming-centric chipset: the Helio G90T. It is a MediaTek SoC, but it is a lot faster, it has way better graphics performance and it is also backed by a very advanced cooling system. The second place goes to the Realme XT equipped with a Snapdragon 712 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM and an amazing UFS 2.1 internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. In each case, you get a customized version of Android Pie out of the box.

Camera

The best cameras are on board of the Realme XT and Redmi Note 8 Pro known as the world’s first phones with a 64 MP rear camera. We won’t choose a winner between these two handsets as they feature a very similar camera department and it mostly depends on the scenario. But note that Redmi Note 8 Pro has a slightly better selfie camera on the paper. The Samsung Galaxy M30s boasts a classic 48 MP triple camera which you can actually find on most of the popular mid-rangers released this year, and it does not even feature a bright focal aperture compared to its opponents. That is why Realme XT and Redmi Note 8 Pro are definitely better choices.

Battery

The battery comparison leaves no doubts: Samsung Galaxy M30s lasts a lot longer on a single charge. With a 6000 mAh capacity, it is one of the best battery phones ever. However, its rivals are not disappointing with 4000 and 4500 mAh batteries, respectively. Note that Redmi Note 8 Pro consumes more energy due to its less efficient chipset and the IPS display, so it does not last more than Realme XT with every usage pattern.

Price

Samsung Galaxy M30s debuted in India with a €180/$200 starting price, Realme XT starts from €200/$220 and Redmi Note 8 Pro from about €290/$320. Redmi Note 8 Pro is the best compromise for advanced users given its higher performance and amazing cameras, but if you want the best value for money and a better display, you should go for the Realme XT. Do not mind about the €20 difference with the Galaxy M30s unless you just need infinite battery life.

The Realme XT may have just been revealed last week, but the company’s wasting no time getting a Realme XT update out of the door. The RMX1921EX_11_A.10 update improves the camera previews and photo quality of the device. It also updates the device to the latest version of the Android security patch, that being the September patch.

The update is currently rolling out over the air, but it’s likely a staged rollout. Realme does these all the time where they release the update to a small batch of users to see if there are any major issues. If there aren’t any issues, all users should be able to download the new Realme XT update soon enough.

Apart from its high-resolution camera, the Realme XT comes with Snapdragon 712 processor, 4000mAh battery with VOOC 3.0 fast charging. It’s one of the best mid-rangers available on the market right now, especially with its beautiful 6.4-inch Super AMOLED dewdrop display and other impressive features at its price range.

Last week, Realme had announced the Realme XT smartphone in India as its first phone with 64-megapixel quad cameras. Today, the Chinese brand has confirmed that it will be announcing the Realme XT phone tomorrow in China. There is no confirmation on whether the Realme XT 730G phone will be also unveiled alongside the Realme XT tomorrow in the home market.

The official poster released by the company shows that the Realme XT phone in Pearl White and Pearl Blue colors. It remains to be seen whether the Realme XT launches with the same name or a different moniker. Earlier this month, Realme had launched the Realme Q phone in China. It is actually rebranded version of the Realme 5 Pro that was announced in India last month.

At the end of the Realme XT’s launch in India, the company had confirmed that it will be releasing the gaming-centric Realme XT 730G phone in India in December. It will be an advanced version of the Realme XT with a more powerful Snapdragon 730G SoC and 30W fast charging support.

The unannounced Realme RMX1991 that was recently spotted on TENAA with its full specifications could be the Realme XT 730G phone. The TENAA listing states that the RMX1991 phone has a 2.2GHz octa-core processor and not 2.3GHz Snapdragon 712 SoC that fuels Realme XT. Hence, the Realme RMX1991 seems to be fueled by Snapdragon 730G. Also, it has a front-facing camera of 32-megapixel whereas the Realme XT has a selfie snapper of 16-megapixel.

Realme XT Price in India and Specifications

Realme XT has arrived in India in three models such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. They are respectively priced at Rs. 15,999 (~$223), Rs. 16,999 (~$237) and Rs. 18,999 (~$265).

The Realme XT has a 6.4-inch S-AMOLED display with waterdrop notch. It produces full HD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The SD712 chipset fuels the smartphone. The quad camera system that resides on its rear has a 64-megapixel Samsung GW1 main lens, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel dedicated macro camera and a 2-megapixel depth senor. It has a frontal shooter of 16-megapixel. The Realme XT comes with a 4,000mAh battery.

The post Realme XT to launch in China tomorrow appeared first on Gizmochina.

The rivalry between Redmi and Realme has almost become a war. As soon as Xiaomi releases a new potential best-selling mid-ranger, Realme comes up with a valid alternative. A few hours before the announcement of the Redmi Note 8 Pro which had the world’s first 64 MP camera for a mobile device as one of its key features, Oppo’s sub-brand fooled Xiaomi by unveiling the Realme XT with a 64 MP camera. Yesterday, Oppo’s company announced all the specifications of the Realme XT. So, now we can compare the two affordable mid-rangers in all their aspects in order to establish which one has the highest value for money depending on the user’s needs.

Oppo Realme XT vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro

Design

Despite they are very affordable, both Xiaomi and Oppo decided to build Realme XT and Redmi Note 8 Pro with an elegant glass back. But which is the most elegant device? It mostly depends on your tastes, but I think the Realme XT is more attractive due to its more compact dimensions and the absence of a fingerprint scanner on the rear side, as it is integrated into the display. So the Realme XT has a cleaner back, it is smaller, thinner, and even lighter than Redmi Note 8 Pro. Both have a plastic frame and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display and the rear cover.

Display

Redmi Note 8 Pro loses the comparison when it comes to the display. It comes with a classic IPS panel, while Realme XT has a definitely better Super AMOLED panel showing deeper blacks and very brilliant colors. The only advantage of Redmi Note 8 Pro is a wider display diagonal, which could be more comfortable for gamers and power users. Note that Realme XT has an in-display fingerprint reader, while Redmi Note 8 Pro has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Specs & Software

While I prefer Realme XT if we talk about design and display, Redmi Note 8 Pro is the winner if we compare the hardware department. Despite Realme XT comes with a fast UFS 2.1 internal storage, Redmi Note 8 Pro has a way more powerful chipset with better CPU performance, a more advanced cooling system, and even a better GPU. Its only disadvantage is the 12 nm production process which makes it less energy efficient, but you should not notice a big difference when it comes to battery life.

Camera

Realme XT and Redmi Note 8 Pro have a very similar camera department. Both feature a quad camera on their back with exactly the same kind of sensors: the world’s first 64 MP camera for mobile devices, an ultrawide lens, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor, all with the same 8 + 2 + 2 MP resolutions. On the paper, Redmi Note 8 Pro seems to have a better front camera, while Realme XT is capable of recording 960 fps ultra slow motion videos. For now, it is a draw, at least until we test Realme XT’s camera thoroughly.

• Read More: Realme XT 730G smartphone will be launched in India this December

Battery

Xiaomi equipped the Redmi Note 8 Pro with a way bigger battery than Realme XT, but its components have a way higher power consumption. The display is more energy-demanding being a wider LCD panel, as well as the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset compared to the Snapdragon 712. That is why we believe that those two phones will provide a similar battery life. However, we had no chance to test Realme XT thoroughly as it was announced yesterday, so give us some time before asking us a definitive opinion.

Price

Realme XT debuted in the Indian market with a €200/$225 starting price, while Redmi Note 8 Pro is expected to cost about €180/$200 in the peninsula. Overall, Realme XT looks like a slightly better device for average users, but if you are either an advanced user who needs the max performance or a gamer, Redmi Note 8 Pro is a better option. Obviously, this verdict is only based on the specs on the paper as we will be able to give our final thoughts only after testing both the handsets thoroughly (we are talking especially about their very similar camera departments and battery life).

Realme will be launching the Realme XT smartphone tomorrow in India. After the Redmi Note 8 Pro that went official in China last month, the Realme XT will be the second phone to debut with a 64-megapixel camera. Since tomorrow’s unveil event will be held in India, the Realme XT will be debuting as India’s first 64-megapixel camera phone. Last month, Realme had held a special event in China to announce the specifications of the Realme XT. Some reports have revealed that there is an advanced edition of the phone called Realme XT Pro. It remains to be seen whether Realme India also announces the Pro edition alongside the Realme XT tomorrow.

Realme XT Specifications

The Realme XT has a 6.4-inch AMOLED display that produces full HD+ resolution. The waterdrop notch enabled screen of the phone is integrated with a fingerprint sensor.

Realme has seen tremendous growth in India in the past one year. It has grown from a relatively unknown brand to the fourth-largest smartphone maker in India today. Driving its growth has been affordable yet powerful mid-rangers like the Realme 3 Pro, 5 Pro, and the Realme X.

The company recently teased its Realme XT smartphone as India’s First 64MP Quad Camera smartphone. The device will launch later this week and just before that, Realme has signed the popular Indian youth icon and actor, Ayushmann Khurrana as its brand ambassador. He becomes the first brand ambassador for the company which was established back in May 2018 by Sky Li.

Oppo tried to make fun of the new potential best-seller Redmi Note 8 Pro by announcing the Realme XT a few hours before the Xiaomi’s mid-ranger and making it the world’s first 64 MP camera phone. The handset was officially confirmed right before the announcement of the Redmi Note 8 Pro and right after the announcement of another Oppo’s mid-range phone: the Reno2 Z. While the Redmi Note 8 Pro catalyzed more attention due to Xiaomi’s popularity all around the world, it will be very interesting to discover which of these devices will offer the best user experience and the highest value for money. Through this specs comparison, we want to help you to find the best device independently from its popularity. Note that there was not a dedicated event for the announcement of the Realme XT, so actually there are some bits missing in its specs sheet.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro vs Oppo Realme XT vs Oppo Reno2 Z

Design

Oppo Reno2 Z is the most premium device if we talk about aesthetics. Not only it offers a more original design, but also a higher screen-to-body ratio and smaller dimensions than Redmi Note 8 Pro (despite it has the same screen size), as well as a futuristic pop-up camera. Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme XT both offer a classic waterdrop design with cheaper materials and less attention to details. Unlike its rivals, Redmi Note 8 Pro does not have an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Display

Redmi Note 8 Pro could not feature an under-display fingerprint reader because it sports a classic IPS display, while both Oppo Reno2 Z and Realme XT feature a better AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint reader. On the display side, I personally prefer the Reno2 Z because it has a wider panel, narrower bezels around the display and it is notch-less. The display quality should not differ so much, so do not focus a lot on it.

Specs & Software

The presence of the Helio G90T SoC by MediaTek makes the Redmi Note 8 Pro the most performing phone of the trio. The Helio G90T is meant specifically for gamers, so it has very high graphics performance, it is backed by a liquid cooling system and it even offers better CPU performance. The only disadvantage is energy consumption, as it was built with a less efficient production process (12 nm). But you should not worry so much since the Redmi Note 8 Pro has a bigger battery. Just note that the most advanced memory configuration of the Reno2 Z by Oppo has more internal storage (256 GB), while its opponents stop at 128 GB.

Camera

In each case, you get an amazing quad-camera setup, even though not flagship-class cameras. Despite Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme XT feature 64 MP sensors and Reno 2 Z comes with a 48 MP main sensor, Reno2 Z sports optical stabilization and a brighter focal aperture, so its photo and video quality should be a lot better. The Reno2 Z is even the only to feature a selfie camera equipped with a front-facing LED flash.

Battery

Redmi Note 8 Pro has a bigger battery, but it also has a less efficient display and chipset. That is why Realme XT with its 10 nm chipset should be able to last more on a single charge with most of the usage patterns.

Price

We still do not know how much Realme XT will cost (most likely under €200/$220), but Reno2 Z debuted with a €380/$420 starting price while Redmi Note 8 Pro starts from just €180/$200. If we exclude the chipset, Oppo Reno2 Z is an overall better device, but given its performance and price, Redmi Note 8 Pro has a higher value for money. The only thing left is to wait for the listing price of Realme XT to make a definitive value for money comparison between the latest device from Oppo’s sub-brand and the Redmi Note 8 Pro.

Realme’s growth has been pretty astonishing so far, especially since it is just over a year old. Within this time span, it has grown from a small-time sub-brand of OPPO to one of the most sought out smartphone makers in the budget and mid-range segment. And turns out, it has got sales figures to back its popularity. According to counterpoint’s Q2-2019 Market Monitor report, Realme has climbed into the top 10 smartphone OEM club.

For a company that came into existence just last year, this is indeed a tremendous achievement. However, this isn’t entirely surprising. Realme had announced earlier this month that they had shipped more than 10 million smartphones worldwide in a matter of 14 months.

The company’s Realme 3 Pro that was announced back in April offers good value for money in the mid-range market, taking on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The company has plans to ramp up its progress in India and China with additional models in the next few months. The brand has already released the Realme 5 Pro which is its first quad-camera smartphone! Then there’s the upcoming Realme XT that will feature the Samsung GW1 64MP sensor directly taking on the Redmi Note 8 Pro with the same sensor.

With so many powerful models incoming for the mid-range segment, the company seems to have some really strong plans to take on the Redmi brand in the budget and the mid-range market. If Realme can grab even a small chunk of this market from Redmi, it is all set to sell a few more million smartphone units by the end of the year.
