Realme X2 Pro Review: Everything you need to know

After fairing well for over a year in the mid-range and budget segments, Realme, sub-brand of Oppo, has now targeted the premium range with its latest offering, the Realme X2 Pro. It is, by far, the best Realme phone that the Chinese firm has ever produced. The Realme X2 Pro flaunts a captivating display with a 90Hz refresh rate, super-fast 50W charging, and elegant design. It balances its rich specs-sheet with a competitive price and an improved user experience.

Realme X2 Pro Review- Design:

It’s undoubtedly the best-looking device that Realme has ever made with an attractive look and premium feel. It ditches the polycarbonate body, as seen on previous Realme devices, for a more classy and superior appearance. It has rounded edges at the back and a curved glass that creates an ergonomic feel in the hand. The rear panel is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5, just like the front of the phone. The Realme X2 Pro features a glossy finish at the back but surprisingly, the panel doesn’t attract too many fingerprint smudges. However, Realme has bundled a translucent TPU cover that protects the phone from scratches. Volume rockers are placed on the left while the power button is positioned on the right side of the device, along with the hybrid SIM card tray. You have a 3.5mm audio jack, a type-C charging USB port and a speaker grill down at the bottom. You get two colour options to choose from -Neptune Blue and Lunar White. Both look great and come with their own appeal. Like its competitors, the X2 Pro is extremely slim at 8.7mm and exceptionally lightweight at 199 grams. To sum up, the Realme X2 Pro is a significant improvement on the Realme XT’s already great design and build quality.

Realme X2 Pro Review- Display:

There was a time when OnePlus was the sole option for those who wanted a premium device with a great display. Asus challenged this perception with the ROG Phone 2, but Realme seems to have gone a step ahead and offered a 90Hz display in the sub-Rs. 30,000 price range. Yes, the Realme X2 Pro features a massive 6.5-inch fullHD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. Any multimedia content you play on it moves at 90 frames per second instead of the traditional 60 frames per second speed. A high refresh rate means every scroll, every swipe on the display will be seamless and smooth. It gets surprisingly bright and produces stunningly punchy colours as you’d expect from a 90Hz screen. The realme X2 Pro also comes with an HDR10+ certification for more precise colours, higher contrast between bright and dark layers, and vivid details. You get slim bezels across all sides and a small notch on the top that houses the front snapper.

Realme X2 Pro Review- Camera:

Like the Realme XT, the X2 Pro also features a 64MP quad-camera setup at the back. However, Realme has enhanced the shooting capabilities of its latest device. Along with a 64MP primary shooter, a Samsung GW1 Sensor, the smartphone flaunts a 13MP telephoto lens with 5x hybrid optical zoom and 20x hybrid zoom, 8MP wide-angle camera with 115-degree field of view, and a 2MP portrait lens for bokeh shots. It can also record 4K and 1080p videos at 30fps/60fps. The handset captures stunningly sharp photos with perfect detailing in all lighting conditions. Images captured in daylight come out with rich colors, sharp details, and excellent dynamic range. Also, in low-light, the X2 Pro’s camera appears to be a capable shooter. Selfie enthusiasts will admire the 16MP front shooter and its performance in artificial lights.

Realme X2 Pro Review- Processor:

What more do you want if you are getting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 plus under Rs. 30k? It’s the most powerful chipset available in any smartphone right now. The X2 Pro handles everything immaculately no matter the task you throw at it. Moreover, the Realme X2 Pro features UFS 3.0 storage that makes its performance extra smooth. It’s offered in two storage variants -8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage and 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.

Realme X2 Pro Review- Battery:

Realme calls the X2 Pro as “India’s fastest charging flagship”. It features Oppo’s 50W VOOC fast charging support which fuels its 4000mAh battery from 0-100 per cent in less than 40 minutes. Yes, that’s absolutely true. The X2 Pro’s battery can easily last for over a day on a moderate usage and with heavy usage it can give you a day’s back up.

The Realme X2 Pro has everything a fully loaded sub-Rs. 30,000 phone could have. It checks all the right boxes, including those in display, processor and cameras. The charging speed and refresh rate are also definitely something that you can never get in this price range.
