2-minute Review [Positives]	Beautiful, 'shimmering' rear (plastic) panel, and a modern, notch-less 6.5-inch OLED screen - easily one of the best looking phones in this price bracket The notch-less display spans almost edge to edge, with a pop-up selfie camera mechanism Fairly fast in-display fingerprint reader Very good 6.5-inch OLED screen - colors are lively, with deep blacks The lack of a notch really helps make the screen appear immersive, and consuming content on the screen is a pleasure ColorOS UI is now much more streamlined than before - there’s also now an app drawer, and a useful shortcut menu accessed by swiping from the sides The gesture navigation is nice and intuitive too Very good performance backed by the powerful Snapdragon 710 chipset - everything from daily use to high-end games is smooth GPU performance is an especially strong point of the Snapdragon 710, so if you are into gaming, the phone tends to comfortably outperform rivals Excellent set of dual rear cameras (48MP+5MP) and front camera (16MP) Very good overall image quality in daylight, and fairly good quality in low-light as well Night mode is pretty effective too Very good portraits Pretty great selfies too, from the 16MP front camera Realme’s EIS does a solid job of stabilization during videos at up to 1080p/30fps Support for 4K video recording (without EIS though) Overall, the Realme X is arguably the best camera setup of this price bracket now, even beating the excellent cameras on the Redmi Note 7 Pro and the Realme 3 Pro - and is in fact comparable to cameras in phones at twice the price Good battery life with a 3750 mAh cell - you will comfortably get a day of use, even with heavy usage The class-leading VOOC fast-charging nicely complements the long battery life - it fills a completely depleted battery in 1:18h and it's at the 50% mark 30 minutes into it - which are some excellent numbers The Realme X looks like an incredible value package, no matter how you look at it, and will inevitably disrupt its price bracket in a big way - what you get is top-end specs, a 'full screen' AMOLED display with a pop-up selfie camera, very good performance, an excellent set of cameras, and super fast charging - you can't ask for more	Beautiful, attractive, premium glass design (Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back - a first for Realme), with a modern gradient finish at the back The phone is also marginally smaller than the Realme X and is lighter too at 183 grams, which gives it a very balanced in-hand feel The glass on the back is of the glossy kind, but it barely registers any fingerprints or smudges and it isn't very reflective The in-display fingerprint sensor is snappy as is the facial recognition Very good 6.4-inch FHD+ (1080x2340) Super AMOLED display with a dewdrop notch - it has vibrant colours, deep blacks, good sunlight legibility, and good viewing angles - one of the best displays of this price range Also comes with Widevine L1 standard, which means videos on platforms like Netflix and Prime can be seen in crisp HD resolution ColorOS is now more streamlined than before, and packs fast animations that helps the phone feel snappy - there are of course a number of add-on features too, compared to what you would get in stock Android The UI also isn't ad-strewn as recent Xiaomi phones have tended to be Very good performance backed by the powerful Snapdragon 712, which is one of the better mid-range mobile SoCs out there, especially for gaming - the Realme XT is able to run graphically intensive games like PUBG on default high graphics without breaking a sweat - of course day-to-day use is a breeze too Thermal management is good too - the phone remains quite cool throughout gaming sessions Excellent quad camera setup at the rear - 64MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro + 2MP depth sensor - this is the first phone to launch in India with a 64MP sensor Much like the popular 48MP sensor, the 64MP camera also works (by default) on a 4-in-1 pixel binning technology that combines four 16MP shots to offer one bright and detailed photo The primary camera capture some really attractive photos in daylight, offering good brightness and clarity - with HDR enabled, the camera offers a wide dynamic range The ultra wide-angle camera comes in handy if you want to capture a wider frame of view or want a different perspective on the subject (but there is some noise even in daylight conditions) The camera also supports Nightscape (Night mode), which comes in handy in low-light conditions, and helps improve picture clarity The Realme XT also does a good job when using Portrait mode - edge detection is excellent thanks to the dedicated 2-megapixel depth sensor and details are crisp Decent video recording performance - image quality is good, and there is also stabilization at 1080p (but not at 4k) Overall, this is now arguably the new camera champ of the under 20k category, coming out a bit ahead of the current leaders pack - the Realme 5 Pro, the Realme X, and the Redmi Note 7 Pro Good speaker - verbal audio sounds clear enough even in max volume, and the audio is loud enough for you to hear the phone ring from another room Very good battery life with a large 4000mAh battery - you will get about 1.5 days of moderate use There is VOOC 3.0 fast charging support, which is great - you can charge up the Realme XT in about 80 minutes Once again, like clockwork, Realme has launched another champion phone with the XT, that sets the benchmark for mid-range phones even higher But more broadly, you won't go wrong with either of the current leading 3 Realme phones - Realme 5 Pro (cheapest, Snapdragon 712, but not a premium glass design, not a 'full-screen' display, not an AMOLED display), Realme X (pop-up selfie, and 'full-screen' AMOLED experience, but not a premium glass design, and 'only' Snapdragon 710), or the Realme XT (premium glass design, AMOLED display, best camera of the lot by a small margin, Snapdragon 712, but not a 'full-screen' display) - and you can chose one depending on your priorities
2-minute Review [Negatives]	ColorOS still has some bloatware though, and is not quite as clean/simple as stock Android	There is as usual some bloatware that comes pre-installed (but most of it can be uninstalled) The macro lens is ordinary - you will be able to get really close to the subject, but detail levels in the images are low
