Realme X50, X50 Lite 5G phones: Reported specs

Realme has recently confirmed that the Realme X50 will be the brand’s first 5G phone. But it looks like it will be joined by another 5G handset based on a post shared on Realme Fans’ Facebook page: the Realme X50 Lite (Youth Edition).

The X50 is expected to support dual-mode 5G connectivity. However, we aren’t sure if the X50 Lite gets the same capability.

The Realme X50 reportedly has a 6.44-inch S-AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, while the X50 Lite features a 60Hz IPS LCD from JDI that measures 6.55 inches.

Under the hood, the unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 735 5G processor supposedly runs on the X50 with either 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage options.

As for the Realme X50 Lite, word has it that the yet-to-be-launched MediaTek MT6885 powers the smartphone with either 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage or 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage.

Four cameras are on the back of the two devices. If the leaked specs are true, both units sport 8-megapixel ultra-wide, 2-megapixel macro, and 2-megapixel portrait shooters. The Realme X50 5G has a 60-megapixel Sony IMX686 primary sensor, while the X50 Lite gets a 16-megapixel main camera.

In front, the X50 is said to get a 32-megapixel and 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle cam combo housed in a pill-shaped cutout similar to the one on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. The X50 Lite, on the other hand, features a 32-megapixel lens in a punch hole.

What is said to be the Youth Edition has a slightly bigger battery at 5,000mAh, compared to the X50’s 4,500mAh one. But the latter might get support for wireless charging, which will be a first for Realme. Both phones could support Super VOOC 4.0 Flash Charge technology, though.

We need to remind you to take these rumored specs with a grain of salt. There’s no prospective release date or price yet. We don’t even know if the devices will make their way here. That depends on different factors.

One is whether our 5G networks are up and running when the Realme X50 and X50 Lite come out. Another could be pricing. We learned that the Realme X2 Pro might not be available in the Philippines due to higher taxes and fees for more expensive handsets. And these two handsets might also be affected if the prices are too high.
