Realme X review: A worthy Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy M40 rival

Realme X is a big step forward for Realme which has so far focused on India’s lower tier of mid-range and budget categories. From a pop-up selfie camera, in-screen fingerprint sensor to the 48-megapixel rear camera, Realme X is a massive upgrade over Realme 3 Pro. Priced at Rs 16,999 (starting), Realme X betters Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 in terms of specifications and features. It’s also cheaper than Xiaomi’s Redmi K20 which starts at Rs 21,999.

Design & Display

Realme X is a rare non-Samsung smartphone under Rs 20,000 to offer an AMOLED display. The full HD+ screen is bright and colourful. At no point, it feels it like you’re using a mid-range smartphone screen. A notch-free design is a welcome move.
