July 12, 2025
Although realme is a relative newcomer to the Android scene, the Chinese manufacturer has already managed to gain quite thepopularitythanks its affordable flagship killers. Now, to keep up with the competition and with current trends, the company has announced that a 5G successor of therealme X2 Prois in the works with the realme X50 5G.
The announcement came in the form of aweibo postby realme CMO Xu Qi Chase (h/t:GSMArena). In the photo accompanying it, we can see an outline of the new flagship. The realme X50 5G seems to have a dual punch-hole selfie camera similar to that of theSamsung Galaxy S10 Plus. This would make it not only the company’s first 5G phone, but the first to adopt the punch hole camera as well. The only other information we have about the device is that it will reportedly work both on standalone and non-standalone5G networks, and that it will come withAndroid 10andColorOS 7on board.
If you are confused about the name of the new realme flagship, however, Xu Qi Chase explained the reasoning behind the jump from X2 to X50. According to the realme CMO, the five stands for the introduction of 5G, while the zero supposedly signifies a new beginning and the upcoming 2020 leap year.
This announcement by realme comes shortly after news of Xiaomi preparing to release a new wave ofcheap 5G phonesin the near future. The X50 5G is also positioned as direct challenger to theRedmi K30, which will also pack a dual punch-hole camera and 5G.
