How much does Realme X2 Pro cost? What is the battery capacity? How do you take pictures at night? Where can you buy cheap? We will try to find answers to all questions and figure out what is special about the novelty of autumn.

Brand

BBK Electronics is a Chinese home appliance manufacturer that founded a consumer electronics division known as Oppo in 2004.Already Oppo in 2018 on May 4, on Youth Day in China, founded its sub-brand - Realme.

Despite a short stay on the market, the young brand has its own audience, there are popular models that leave positive reviews. The smartphones of this company have not yet been included in the rating of the highest quality gadgets from the best manufacturers, but they have every reason to be there in the coming year.

What attracts gadgets of this brand? There are several reasons:

• stylish design;
• availability;
• a decent percentage of the working surface of the display;
• new technologies.

With all the pluses, these smartphones remain budget, which allows the younger generation to become the owner of one of them. Surely this contributed to several records in terms of sales, especially in India and Asia. Finally, let's take a closer look at the novelty.

Realme X2 Pro review

As already mentioned, the presentation of Realme X2 Pro should take place on October 15 in China. Accordingly, the official start of sales is not so long to wait. Although insiders still managed to get the gadget.

X2 Pro will be an improved model of its predecessor Realme X2 with a more advanced processor, larger screen and other nice innovations. The new model will delight both gamers and people absorbed in their work. Although, there is a feeling that any user will be interested to get acquainted with this device.

Equipment

Not the most creative section of the review, but still it is necessary to mention what will be included in the kit:

• smartphone with a protective film;
• clip-assistant for opening the SIM-card tray;
• Charger;
• silicone convenient cover;
• USB cable (with standard cord length);
• instruction manual for the device.

And, since we were talking about the battery, it is logical that the adapter will be rated at 50 W, it even sounds good.

Design

In terms of design, it's hard to say that no one has seen anything like this, but there are some tricks. The back is made from Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and the bezel is all polycarbonate to keep the price down. But still, the gadget looks stylish.

However, there are still changes, for example, the main module is now located in the center of the rear panel, when, as in the previous model, it was in the upper left corner. The location of the logo has also changed, moving from the lower left corner to the right side of the rear panel.

The power and volume buttons remained in their places, the size of the audio jack has not changed.

They plan to release smartphones again in two colors, it is pearl white and pearl blue. Thanks to the glossy surface, the body will shimmer.

On the question of dimensions:

• length - 161 mm;
• width - 75.7 mm;
• thickness - 8.7 mm;
• weight - 199 gr.

The device has “grown up” a little and “gained” in weight, but this is not critical and it should be comfortable to hold it in your hand. The issue with the camera sticking out is solved by the case that comes with the kit.

Screen

Everything interesting begins with the interface. The enlarged screen is equipped with Super AMOLED technology with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, where the aspect ratio will be 19.5:9.

The display supports Full HD + with a resolution of 1080x2340, where the pixel density is 396 ppi.

The main feature of the screen is support for a refresh rate of 90 Hz, i.e. unlocking the gadget using the built-in fingerprint scanner will take 0.23 seconds. Like it or not, we will find out in time.

The place for the front camera is also left in the form of a droplet.

Judging by the indicators, the device is suitable for all sorts of activities, whether it is surfing the Internet, active games, video or a banal email check. It’s hard to say that they are flagship in terms of brightness and contrast, but image detail is expected to be good even if you use the gadget in the sun.

Filling

Everything is the same with the operating system, it is Android 9.0 (Pie) with the ability to upgrade to Android 10.0, which is equipped with the latest ColorOS 6 firmware. A high-performance Qualcomm SDM855 Snapdragon 855+ (7 nm) chipset is installed, where the graphics accelerator is Adreno 640.

The processor contains 8 cores: 1 core with a frequency of 2.96 GHz Kryo 485 + 3 cores with a frequency of 2.42 GHz Kryo 485 + 4 cores with a frequency of 1.8 GHz Kryo 485.

Depending on the modification, the ratio of RAM to internal memory will vary: 6 GB / 64 GB, 8 GB / 128 GB, 12 GB / 256 GB. There is a slot for memory cards, the allowable volume is 256 GB.

The characteristics of the smartphone clearly indicate that the gadget is really powerful, productive, and therefore reliable and suitable for watching videos and for "gluttonous" games.

It should also be recalled that the X2 Pro model was equipped with the latest file storage standard - UFS version 3.0, i.e., the reading speed increased by 80%.

autonomy

The non-removable battery X2 Pro has already managed to make a noise, with a capacity of 3900 mAh and which is equipped with 50W SuperVOOC Flash Charge fast charging technology. There is information that the battery includes two cells of 1950 mAh.

Thus, the owners of the new Realme model will be able to charge their smartphone to 100% in 35 minutes. Agree, it's nice.

The possibility of wireless charging continues to be absent.

Camera

The main camera was equipped with four modules with the following indicators: a rear camera with a resolution of 64 MP - f / 1.8, an ultra wide-angle lens with a resolution of 13 MP - f / 2.4 and a viewing angle of 115 degrees, a telephoto lens with a resolution of 8 MP - f / 2.3 and a lens with a resolution of 2 MP - f / 2.4, equipped with a depth sensor.

Led flash is placed away from the lens block.

The front camera will please selfie lovers, because it has a resolution of 32 megapixels - f / 2.0.

Support for AI systems makes it possible to take highly detailed pictures, which indicates good sharpness. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to make sure on the examples of photos how well the smartphone takes pictures, it remains to be patient.

Communications

This section also has its own amenities, but first things first.

In general, the standard set is the presence of Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac, Bluetooth version 5.0, GPS, USB, etc.

However, the creators were pleased with the presence of wireless payment technology - NFC, which puts the Realme X2 Pro forward, because in the budget segment it is rather rare.

In addition, the smartphone was equipped with various sensors, for example, a proximity sensor that turns off the display, reducing battery consumption and avoiding pressing the keyboard, a gyroscope, etc.

Price policy

It is assumed that the average price will be from 28,000 rubles. However, it is difficult to orientate at the price, it is better to wait for receipts in stores, there is information that the cost will be somewhere from $ 420-560 (about 27-36 thousand rubles). Naturally, the main cost factor is the amount of memory of the device.

You can find the novelty on the official website of the brand, in the well-known online store Aliexpress or on the ebay marketplace.How to choose where to buy? The question is quite individual, if you are ready to wait, then perhaps in the future you will be able to buy a device at a discount, if you are not ready, you should monitor the points of sale.

Characteristics

As usual, for the purpose of convenience and arrangement of information, we include all the most important in the table.

Positive and negative sides

Having considered the main indicators of Realme X2 Pro, it will be logical to note what is valuable in it and what is not worth attention.

• performance;
• functional;
• charging power;
• price.

• minor flaws.

It is difficult to judge a gadget, after all, it is necessary not only to use it, but also to check it with time.

Results

Realme has created a smart and powerful smartphone that will be able to compete with its many rivals. And, perhaps, many will no longer have questions “Which company to buy a smartphone?” or “Which model is better to buy?”.Although everything, of course, depends on what your selection criteria are.

Having studied all the technical characteristics of the next autumn news, the confidence that for such money this is a decent smartphone with a good camera, good sound, and stylish design has not gone away.

However, it is up to you to purchase it or make a choice in favor of other models and manufacturers.
