Realme X — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Realme X was the phone that put Realme's X-series on the map: launched in mid-2019, it brought a motorised pop-up selfie camera, a notch-free 6.53-inch AMOLED display, and an in-display fingerprint sensor to the mid-range — features flagships charged far more for. Seven years on it is long discontinued, so every unit in Pakistan is a used device. This guide covers its verified specifications, explains how it differs from the X2 and X2 Pro, and tells you exactly what to inspect before buying one used.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The Realme X's party trick is the motorised pop-up selfie camera: with no notch or punch hole, the 6.53-inch AMOLED stretches edge to edge for a true full-view screen. Realme rated the pop-up mechanism for 200,000 cycles and a 0.74-second rise time. The back is gradient-finished with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front. On a used unit, the pop-up camera is the number-one thing to test — extend and retract it several times, listen for grinding, and check it sits flush when closed. Dust ingress over the years is the main killer of these mechanisms.

Display Features

The 6.53-inch AMOLED (1080 x 2340, 19.5:9) was the Realme X's other headline: deep blacks and strong contrast with no notch interrupting video. It covers 100% NTSC colour gamut per Realme and is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It is a 60Hz panel — smooth enough, but visibly less fluid than modern 90/120Hz screens. Check a used unit for AMOLED burn-in (ghost images of status bars or keyboards) by viewing a plain grey image at full brightness.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 710 (10nm, 2x Kryo 360 Gold at 2.2GHz + 6x Kryo 360 Silver at 1.7GHz) with Adreno 616 graphics was a capable upper-mid-range chip in 2019. In 2026, set expectations honestly: calls, messaging, browsing, and video are fine, but modern games and heavy apps will push it hard. Benchmark figures vary by test conditions; these are manufacturer-era specifications, not tested performance. The 8GB RAM variant ages noticeably better than the 4GB one.

RAM and Storage

Variants ran 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM with 64GB or 128GB of storage — and critically, there is no microSD slot, so storage is fixed for life. On a used buy, prefer 8GB + 128GB: 64GB fills quickly with modern app sizes, and you cannot expand later. Ask the seller which variant the unit is (check in Settings) rather than trusting the listing title.

Camera Features

The rear pairs a 48MP Sony IMX586 main sensor (f/1.7) with a 5MP depth sensor for portraits — solid daylight hardware for 2019, with 4K video at 30fps and slow-motion modes. The 16MP Sony IMX471 pop-up selfie camera (f/2.0) takes good daylight selfies. In 2026 terms: fine in good light, weak at night, and no ultra-wide lens. The pop-up mechanism itself is the real-world risk — a stuck or noisy motor turns the phone's signature feature into a repair bill.

Battery and Charging

A 3,765mAh battery (3,680mAh minimum) with VOOC 3.0 20W fast charging over USB-C — decent for 2019, modest today. Any original battery is now seven years old and will hold well under its rated capacity. Ask about battery health and real-world screen-on time; a tired battery on a phone with no easy cell replacement is the most common reason these get retired. No wireless charging.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 9 Pie with ColorOS 6, with no long-term update support — this is a hard stop for security-sensitive use. In 2026, some banking and payment apps may refuse to run on Android 9, and the OS carries years of unpatched vulnerabilities. Do not make this your primary phone for banking or work email. Treat it as a secondary/media device.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/GLONASS, USB Type-C, and an in-display fingerprint sensor — advanced for a 2019 mid-ranger. There is no 5G, and NFC was not confirmed for all regions. Test the in-display fingerprint sensor on a used unit (they can become finicky with aged screen protectors) and confirm both SIM slots read.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Verified variants: 4GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB in India (INR 16,999 and INR 19,999 at launch), plus 4GB + 64GB / 6GB + 64GB in China, and limited Spider-Man and Master editions. Colours: Polar White and Space Blue. The Realme X is long discontinued — no new stock exists anywhere, and spare parts (especially the pop-up module) are scarce. Do not confuse it with the Realme X2 (Snapdragon 730G, 64MP quad camera) or X2 Pro (Snapdragon 855+, 90Hz) — three distinct 2019 tiers.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Zohaan Mobile Gallery lists the Realme X at Rs. 37,200 (store product page, verified 2026-10-11). For a seven-year-old used phone with an obsolete OS and a mechanical camera, compare carefully against newer used options at similar money — and confirm the current asking price with the store, since used prices move with condition.

PTA: PTA status is per device and IMEI — never assume. SMS the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status before paying. How to check PTA approval.

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: collectors and enthusiasts who want the iconic pop-up design as a secondary/media phone, provided the mechanism is tested working and the price reflects its age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Realme X price in Pakistan?

Rs. 37,200 is the store-listed used price at Zohaan Mobile Gallery (verified 2026-10-11). Confirm the current price before buying — used pricing depends on condition.

How is the Realme X different from the X2 and X2 Pro?

Three distinct 2019 tiers: the X has a Snapdragon 710, pop-up selfie camera, and 48MP dual rear camera; the X2 upgrades to a Snapdragon 730G with a 64MP quad camera and 30W charging; the X2 Pro is the flagship with a Snapdragon 855+, 90Hz AMOLED, and 50W charging. Don't mix up their specs or prices.

Does the pop-up camera still work reliably on used units?

It depends on the individual unit's history. Test it repeatedly in person — smooth, quiet, flush-closing operation is what you want. Dust and drops are its enemies.

Can it run banking apps in 2026?

Possibly not — Android 9 is below the minimum version some banking apps now require, and the OS is unpatched. Don't buy it as a banking phone.

What are its RAM and storage options?

4GB, 6GB, or 8GB RAM with 64GB or 128GB storage — no microSD slot. Prefer 8GB + 128GB.

Does it support 5G?

No. The Snapdragon 710 is a 4G-only chip — this phone will never support 5G.

Is it PTA approved?

PTA status is per device. SMS the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status before paying.

Is it available at Zohaan Mobile Gallery?

Check the Realme X product page or WhatsApp +92 305 8452080 for current availability and the confirmed price.

Final Verdict

The Realme X remains a design icon — the pop-up camera and notch-free AMOLED were genuinely exciting in 2019. But in 2026 it is a secondary-device purchase: obsolete software, an ageing battery, and a mechanical camera that must be tested. If the mechanism is healthy, the screen is burn-in free, and the price is right, it is a fun piece of phone history. Verify the IMEI and test everything in hand.
