Display

When making cost-effective phones, there should be some compromises. Realme launched the X50 series with the LCD Display. When we think why LCD, they compromise us with the 120Hz Screen that looks like Samsung S10 Plus like notch for dual front camera setup. If they added AMOLED Display with this refresh rate, Thr price could go further. Realme LCD Displays are not bad. They are better to compare with some poor LED Displays. It comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 Support. There are no details about the display that supports HDR10, which is best when gaming and watching movies. Redmi K30 supports HDR10.
