Realme X50 5G Review | Best phone of 2020, only £300?! By Tech Spurt

Now, I've funneled some really bloody good, budget-friendly smartphones so far in 2020, but this glorious beast right here. The Realme x55g absolutely has to be one of the very best for just 300 quid. You get a surprisingly premium bit of hardware here to rival most flagship smartphones out there. It's absolutely stunning what realm has managed to cram inside this thing for such a small price, so I've been using the Realme x55g all week as my full-time personal smartphone, and as you can probably already kind of guess, I, like it a lot so here's my in-depth review and from on the latest greatest tech, please do put subscribe and ding that notifications bell cheers now. First up Realme really knows how to make even the most budget-friendly handsets look rather striking and the x55g is yet another dapper Wii slab, busting, a glass finish that is suitably smart. You can grab this bad boy in two different hues.

You've got ice silver or forest green, and I really like this green model as well. It's more of a sort of sensual green rather than like a snot green and like previous Realme phones. That rear end throws out psychedelic patterns, as it reflects the light perfect for those times when you've had a dodgy vandalism, and you're tripping out big time, but don't be fooled by those charming good looks because the Realme x55g is one tough motherfudger. This phone is coated in gorilla glass, 5, both back and front as well, just to help prevent it any little scratches or scuffs when you're backhanded enough to drop it on a bit of hardwood and flooring and yeah. I am kind of speaking from experience there and as if that wasn't enough, you've also got a proper screen protector pre-installed as well, although the roomy x55g isn't fully water resistant.

So overall, four angry stat ham faces out of five. Now the old edge mounted fingerprint sensor has definitely made a massive comeback in 2020. So it's not no massive shock to see one here on the side of the realm x55g and that's all right by me, because it's perfectly responsive, and it's also super comfortable to use whether you're, left-handed or right-handed truth be told, though you'll rarely even really need to use it, because the superfast face. Recognition combined with the raised awake feature, means that the Realme x55g is often unlocked as soon as you pick it up and if you've used any Realme or Oppo branded smartphones in recent times, then the software will hold very few surprises for you once again. Real me UI, which is basically just the color OS launcher by another name, sits all snug on top of android 10 and adds a bunch of great bonus features, most of which are actually pretty useful.

So as well as all of that staple android stuff like a dedicated dark mode and your split screen action and full gesture navigation. You've also got a proper one-handed feature here, which makes wielding this absolute unit. A lot less troublesome, and one of my other favorites- is that nifty game space tool as well, which is really handy for anyone who enjoys blasting chunks out of their besties in their spare time. This can stop all those pesky notifications and phone calls from disturbing you mid-game, while adding loads of extra features like screen, recording to preserve your best kills forever, and speaking of that screen, you get a rather lovely 6.57 inch IPS panel on the x55g. If you want to catch up on yesterday's footy on the bog or chill in the garden with some utterly batch mental anime, then great news, those full HD visuals- are sharp and detailed, while the color temperature is slightly warm and easy on the eye, although, as usual, the color output is completely customizable from within the display settings, so you can tweak it to look.

However, you, like basically and yeah, there is a big ass, double punch, hole camera cut out thing there, but it's shunted away in a corner and honestly, I never found it a problem, especially as you can always block it from view in the display settings. If you like, the only problem I had was that Netflix still refuses to work on my realm x55g, but that's hopefully because it's a review unit. Hopefully the final retail model will obviously not have that problem. But where this screen really grabs you by the crotch and squeezes hard is the 120 hertz refresh rate, something that's usually reserved for super flagships and dedicated gaming smartphones. I mean that's even better than the Realme x50 pro, and it beats the living crap out of anything else around the 300 pound price point, and, to be honest, I do struggle to see the difference between 90 hertz screens and 120 hertz displays.

But everything looks so silky smooth, giving a proper premium feel to the x55g, and it's more good news on the audio front as well. Despite the lack of any stereo speaker, action, you've got a good bit Dolby Atmos support and that can tweak your audio to see whatever you're doing, while also serving up a bunch of equalizers and presets. Although I found that the default settings were best, you could also play high-res tracks here on the x55g, and you've got good codec support as well. So, for instance, when I hooked up to my Sony, headphones had a good bit of DAC support on there and that audio just sounded gorgeously, crisp and full-bodied, and it's just as well that the Bluetooth chops are so good because there's no headphone jack here on the x55g, which is a feature that's actually fairly common on phones around this 300 pound price point. Still, it's good news if you like to carry around a massive media collection, lots of movies and albums and such forth, because you've got 128 gigs of storage packed inside this thing, although sadly that's not expandable, via micro, SD and if you're after killer performance on a budget, well prepare to have your under crackers well and truly blown off in amazement.

The Realme x55g is the cheapest phone to come pack in Qualcomm's snapdragon, 765g chipset, a proper powerful platform that is aimed square gamers with a boosted GPU that can basically handle any android title out there. The base x50 comes with six gigs of ram and frankly stuff like PUBG mobile and Call of Duty play with a perfect frame rate. You should have no excuses at all when pitted against fellow humans in a battle to the death, if you end up a mushy puddle of gore on the ground, that's because, like me, you suck at video games and even after seeing plenty of action, the Realme x55v, thankfully, did not heat up to a troublesome degree. Oh, and of course, as the name kind of gives away, you are completely sordid when your friendly local mobile provider eventually rolls out 5g in your area. So, so far, this review has pretty much been a flood of good news and that doesn't stop.

When it comes to battery life either you can certainly try killing the realm x55g over the course of a day by zooming, with your farm shooting lots of 4k video blasting, the crap out of fulls online in PUBG mobile. But I never once got this bugger to die before bedtime. Most years actually ended with at least a quarter. Battery life remain, and despite slogging, the hell out of this thing and if you sort of ease back on the more intensive tasks, you'll make it through two full days, no problem as well, and the Realme even charges back up, pronto 2, thanks to to vouch 4 point or 30 watt fast charging tech stuffed inside now when it comes to the actual camera tech slapped on the back of the realm x55g, things start to get a little more complicated because the UK and the European model comes with different hardware compared with the Asian version just to make things extra bloody complicated. So what we have here is a 48 megapixel primary lens using Samsung's old gm1 sensor, which is good, if not great, for capturing realistic.

Looking photos, certainly on a budget ain't. Bad you'll get plenty of detail packed into every snap, especially if you bump up to the maximum 48 megapixel resolution and while colors are slightly more vibrant than natural. Even without that chroma boost feature active, you will at least still get attractive looking results, and the Realme also proved pretty handy at shooting hyperactive subjects like sugar filled sprogs, so good news, if you own one of them, HDR snaps, can be a bit hit-and-miss. You definitely lose some texture and color detail with bright backgrounds, occasionally appearing over saturated too, but the x50 is also pretty good at capturing finer details in those darker areas and when things get proper dark, the night mode proves very handy indeed, you'll get much brighter better. Looking results.

You can also swap to the 8 megapixel ultra-wide angle, lens at any time to grab a pulled back view, and while color capture is still good with this lens, it does tend to produce darker results. So it's only really useful when the lighting is strong. As usual. You've got plenty other bonus mods to funny about with it as well, including the obligatory portrait effort. You've also got a dedicated pro mode as well.

If you want to manually mess around with the individual settings and, of course, a macro mode making use of that 2 megapixel macro lens, I still don't see the point, but it's there. If you want it and kudos to the video capture chops as well, because my 4k footage looks crisp and bright and colorful when viewed back on a big screen and as long as it isn't a windy day. You'll get clear audio capture from all directions just be sure to stay quite still when shooting at that ultra HD level, as the stabilization is a bit of back non-existent and then around front, there's a 16 megapixel, selfie cam using Sony's mix 471 sensors, and it's fine for snapping that gorgeous mug of yours. I'm talking about you, of course, not this haggard. Looking slap head right here, the 2 megapixel depth sensor helps the x50 to capture accurate portrait.

Snaps too. If you want all the focus to be on your face and that right there in a nutshell, is what I think of the realm x55g after using it as my full-time personal smartphone for a week and as you can see there, the camera tech isn't quite infallible, but the rest of the phone absolutely jaw on the floor, impresses the crazy performance, the killer battery life that gorgeous hertz display. Frankly, you should be paying for 500 quid for this thing, not 300. It's an absolute freaking steal, so be very interesting to see how the OnePlus word stacks up against this thing and of course I've also now got the motor g5g plus, which busts some very similar specs in a lot of areas. A few advantages.

Few disadvantages compared with this one I'll be using that one next, so definitely stay tuned for my full review of that bad boy, and I've got a comparison between the two live right now. So that's all from me, please, let me know what you think down in the comments below plug subscribe, ding, that notifications bell and have yourselves a lovely week. People cheers everyone loves you! You.
