From what we can make out the Realme X2 Pro is quite an interesting proposition as far as the specs it offers for its price. Right of the bat, we notice the Snapdragon 855+ chipset is present in the device, which is something the K20 Pro does not have. What the K20 Pro also does not have is a high refresh rate display which all the devices including the Realme X2 Pro have although the ROG Phone 2 triumphs everyone with the highest 120 Hz refresh rate.Talking about optics, we see that the Realme X2 Pro comes with an unprecedented 64 MP quad-camera setup that none of the phones in this list have. However, the camera performance and quality is something we would need to check thoroughly in our full review of the device. Something else that stands out for the Realme X2 Pro is the fact that it supports 50W SuperVOOC charging which is again not found in any competing phone, all of which max out at 30W fast charging. Realme could have a real performer on its hand here and we are eagerly awaiting for an Indian launch of the device. Be sure to check out our detailed review of the device when it launches.
