Realme has launched an impressive new budget 5G smartphone, the Realme 11x. Boasting a slick design and capable specs like the Dimensity 6100+ chip, let’s dig deeper into what it brings to the table.

Design and Build

Available in two sober colors, the 11x sports a premium glass and metal construction combining solidity with a touch of elegance. Ergonomics are on point too – at 7.9mm thin and 190g light, one-handed use feels comfortable.

Build quality exudes a sense of polish through finely polished surfaces. A side-mounted fingerprint reader integrated into the power button allows express unlocking. Overall first impressions suggest the 11x could undercut competitors in terms of looks and feel.

Display

Out in front sits a 6.72-inch LCD screen with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate for pin-sharp clarity and supremely smooth scrolling/gaming. Brightness extends to a peak of 680 nits making content legible even in direct sunlight.

Realme has opted for minimal bezels all around for an immersive viewing experience. Early testing shows color output to be vivid without looking over-saturated. Motion appears silky smooth thanks to the high 120Hz rate.

Hardware and Performance

Powering the 11x is the upper mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ chip combined with up to 8GB RAM. Day-to-day usage feels zippy and responsive based on initial impressions. Multi-tasking and casual gaming are handled with ease.

Early benchmarks put it above most competitors in its price tier. With 5G connectivity also included, the 11x ensures future-proofing for when high-speed networks become widely available.

Cameras and Battery Life

Its dual rear cameras include a 64MP main and 2MP depth sensor. Selfies are handled by an 8MP front shooter. The video tops out at 1080p30 which should be adequate for casual sharing needs.

A sizable 5000mAh battery promises over a day’s worth of endurance on a full charge, even with 120Hz enabled. Charging it back up to 50% in just 29 minutes using 33W wired charging is also impressive at this affordable price point.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for the Realme 11x starts from BDT 22,999 which is fiercely competitive against rivals. First impressions point to it offering excellent value for money backed by attractive design, dependable performance, and long battery life.
