Realme X2 Pro Review: Design and Build

In looking at the phone, it looks very similar to Realme XT. Realme has also not reduced the material for the device this time and only metal and glass have been used in the structure which gives it a premium look.

The display and rear side Gorilla Glass 5 protection are given, as well as metal on the side frame. Unlike the XT, here you have the camera set up in the middle of the back panel, which is slightly raised. Given the need to use the cover with it due to the lift, you have also been given a good quality case-cover in the box.

The regular water-drop notch is seen on the front side, in which the selfie camera has been given space. Very thin bezels have been given around the screen, due to which the device achieves a screen-to-body ratio of 91.7%.

When holding the phone in hand, it does not feel thin, but on seeing more options of this price segment, its size and weight feel right. Both the size and weight of the phone have seen an increase this year.

The X2 Pro has been introduced in the market in Lunar White and Neptune Blue colour options with which, like Realme X, here you also get to see Master Edition, which has two colour options Concrete and Red Brick with a dull finish.

Realme X2 Pro review: Display

The X2 Pro features a large 6.5-inch display with AMOLED panel and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The speciality of this display is its 90Hz refresh rate.

The higher refresh rate is obviously good for gaming but at the same time, it makes the scrolling and animation very smooth. Users who use the 90Hz display from 60Hz for the first time will see the difference clearly.

The AMOLED panel given in the phone is quite sharp, which you can use in sunlight. The colours on the display are slightly over-saturated, apart from this, colours are not as well-liked in natural mode. We will suggest you to use the middle option only.

Realme has given a TUV certified blue-light filter here but the white-tone is still visible on the blue side. In the display settings, you have the option to adjust the colour temperature, then you can select the warm tone yourself in both colour profiles.

Color OS also has the option of DC Dimming which proves to be very good for your eyes at low-brightness. Along with this, there is also the system-wide dark mode and Always-on mode, which looks quite attractive due to AMOLED display.

Realme X2 Pro Review: Camera

Realme has entered the flagship league with the X2 Pro, so now the expectation for camera performance is also high. For now, the level of camera performance in the 20 to 30 thousand segments is not much better.


The phone has used Samsung GW1 64MP sensor in Realme, this sensor is recently seen in Redmi Note 8 Pro and also in Realme's first 64MP camera phone Realme XT. Both these options are also available in the market at a very low price but can be compared to photography itself.

Apart from the primary sensor, this 8MP wide-angle camera lens has also been given, which is capable of taking 2.5cm macro short in addition to wide short. Also included in this quad setup is a 13MP telephoto lens with 20x hybrid zoom and a 2MP depth sensor.

On the front side, you get to see a 16MP selfie camera, which has been given a place in the notch.

Talking about details, the output of the rear camera is very good but the images looks a little bit yellow. When you compare the image taken of Realme X2 Pro with Note 8 Pro and K20 Pro, you get better details and texture.

Realme's image processing is the same, with a bit more exposure. This means that you will see the image output bright and clear, but the shadow decreases slightly due to which the image cannot be called natural. One thing is sure that Xiaomi's image processing looks more natural.

The dynamic range of the camera is quite good. With the camera software colour over-saturated, the bright red colour tone does not capture as well. Realme's night mode works much better.
Macro shots and close-up shorts also look good, so if compared, it is better than Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Unexpectedly good shots can be captured in the natural light of the 8MP wide-angle lens.
Portrait short is also quite good. There is no visible reduction in edge detection.
Zoom camera with 5x hybrid zoom gives the best output.

Also, if you talk about the front camera, then it is also better in terms of output as the rear camera.
Overall, you get to see quite good camera performance in Realme X2 Pro. Under this price segment, the rear camera output can be said to be giving a tough competition, but yes, Realme will have to work more to set a level.

Realme X2 Pro Review: Performance and software

In terms of performance, Realme X2 looks much better on paper with its price towards a powerful device. The simple reason for this is the high-end items used in the phone. In X2 Pro, you have been given Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 256GB UFS 3.0 storage and up to 12GB RAM.


In this phone, PUBG can be easily seen on Ultra-HDR and Extreme-HDR combination. Apart from this, more games like Asphalt 9, COD, Injustices 2, Marvel Future Fight can also be played without a frame drop. After 40 minutes of gaming, there is a 5-degree increase in temperature and 8% battery consumption.

Realme has used 4xMIMO antenna here so that you do not feel any shortage in data and Wifi usage which will give you the most benefit while watching gaming and online media content.

ColorOS6 has been used as software which will soon be upgraded to ColorOS 7, so let's see what new things you will get in the new software, but for now, there is only room for improvement in the software. But ColorOS 6 is not able to provide flagship-level software experience.

The phone has DRM L1 certification, according to which you can view content in HD streaming on Prime and Netflix. Apart from this, unlocking the phone also gives a very good experience. Both the in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock are quite fast.

Realme X2 Pro Review: Battery & Audio

Personally, what I liked about the device is its battery performance. Its battery experience is much better than any phone. The 4,000mAh battery is fully charged in just 30 minutes and is able to give you 1 day of backup easily. If you charge the phone with gaming then it is charged at 20W.

At the time of our review, we have no problem with battery or charging.

As far as audio is concerned, the X2 Pro uses an ultra-linear dual front speaker that comes with support for Dolby Atmos. The audio output is quite sharp and clear too, but you have a little bit of distort at a full volume only.

Realme X2 Pro Review: Verdict

In its first flagship introduced by Realme, the latest trendy features have been introduced much better. At this price, this performance is very wireless, due to which Realme X2 Pro is clearly better than Redmi K20, Asus 6Z, and in addition to being slightly higher in price, OnePlus 7T and ROG Phone 2 also lag behind.

X2 Pro is a very good option for those who like mobile gaming, but even if you do not give much priority to the best gaming hardware, this device can prove to be the best option for you within 30 thousand rupees.
