amazon Realme X reviews

Design

With equipped selfie pop-up camera, Realme has brought X screen overflow really similar to the trend of the recently launched phones.

However, the bottom edge of the screen is thicker than the other three edges. This does not affect the user’s experience much, whereas the larger lower edge helps users use gesture navigation more easily.

With the OLED screen used, Realme has equipped this phone with a fingerprint sensor under the screen. The sensor position is neither too low nor too high to help users feel comfortable when using.

Fingerprint sensor on Realme X can be set to activate as soon as the user picks up the device to use it. The processing speed of this sensor is also quite fast.

At the top of the device is a set of pop-up cameras located in the middle. Realme promises this mechanism has an operating life of at least 200,000 times calculated corresponding to 2 years of use. This camera kit has a smart feature that will automatically retract into the device if the user drops the device while in use.

The voice player is designed on the top of the device, where the contact between the frame and the front glass is maximize the percentage of Realme X display. The light and proximity sensors are also located at the bottom of the screen. The device does not include a notification LED set.

At the back of the Realme X, the camera cluster consists of 2 cameras and 1 LED flash located in the center of the machine, not in the upper left corner like other Realme lines. The camera cluster only protrudes slightly from the back of the device (less than 0.5mm), which makes Realme X unobtrusive when placed on a flat surface.

The Realme X used in this review comes in Blue with a range of colors that changes the light density arranged from top to bottom.

The 2 buttons next to the machine are similar to other Realme products. The power button is located on the right side while the volume up and down button is on the left side of the device.

A separate point of Realme X is that there is no micro SD card slot. The SIM slot located above the power button only includes 2 nano SIM locations. It can be said that this is a Realme X weakness compared to other Realme’s when it is not possible to expand storage memory. However, users don’t need to worry because Realme X’s internal memory capacity is 128GB.

The bottom edge of the device includes a speakerphone, a USB-C charging port, a main phone mic and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Meanwhile the extra mic of this phone is on the top edge.

Screen

Realme X is equipped with a 6.53 inch OLED screen with true overlay without any rabbit or water drops thanks to the support of a pop-up camera. The screen has 19.5: 9 aspect ratio and FullHD + 1080 × 2340 resolution.

The display quality that Realme X brings is quite good. The maximum brightness of this smartphone gives users the ability to use in outdoor lighting conditions.

Battery life

The battery on Realme X has a capacity of 3,765 mAh, a little smaller than the 4,045 mAh battery on Realme 3 Pro.

In battery tests, Realme X can operate continuously for over 28 hours of 3G phone calls, more than 12 hours of continuous website access using WiFi and nearly 16 hours of video playback.

With the fast charger VOOC 3.0 20W, users can fully charge Realme X’s battery for about an hour and a half. With 30 minutes of charging, the phone will reach 50% of the battery.

Speaker and sound quality

The speaker located at the bottom edge of Realme X has the same settings as the one on Realme 3 Pro. Therefore, the sound quality of Realme X is not much different from that of brother. With an efficient amplifier, the volume that Realme X brings is very high.

When using headphones, Realme X delivers results that are still not very satisfying when there are still noises and distortions.
