In the wake of the cancellation of MWC, Realme has had to postpone their debut at the biggest mobile show in the world, but they’ve pushed ahead a global event in Madrid to announce the X50 Pro 5G and their new line of Realme AIoT devices.
Realme is looking to be at the crest of the burgeoning AIoT device and 5G smartphone wave in cooperation with their hardware partners like Qualcomm.
The announcement of the X50 Pro 5G tonight follows on from the announcement of the Realme X50 5G which was their first 5G phone, with these two phones planned as the flagship of the companies 5G journey.
Realme X50 Pro 5G
The Realme X50 Pro 5G offers top of the line specs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and X55 5G modem paired with choices of either 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage.
The Realme X50 Pro 5G includes a large 6.44-inch 2400×1080 FHD+ resolution Super AMOLED display with built-in fingerprint sensor and HDR support with a 90Hz refresh (180Hz Sampling) rate.
The display features a dual punch-hole cut-out for the front-facing cameras. The selfie camera setup includes a 32MP sensor with 80° Wide-angle lens for the main camera with an 8MP 105° Super Wide-angle camera to round out the Dual Selfie camera setup on the phone.
The camera setup on the rear of the X50 Pro 5G is impressive with 64MP main sensor paired with a 8MP Ultra Wide-angle (119°) & Macro Lens (from 3cm), a 12MP Telephoto Lens with up to 20x hybrid Zoom and a B/W sensor for those artistic shots.

The X50 Pro 5G is one of the worlds fastest charging phones with 65W SuperDart charging up the big 4,200mAh battery in just 35 minutes. Realme have used a GaN (Gallium Nitride) for the charger which allows it to be smaller and more efficient.
