realme Pad X Hands-on

realme has officially launched in the Philippines its latest tablet, the realme Pad X. It’s the latest addition to realme’s growing tablet offerings preceded by the realme Pad and Pad mini. The Pad X sports a 10.95-inch screen and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset, rear our initial thoughts about it below.

The realme Pad X sports the biggest screen in the realme Pad series at 10.95-inch. It uses an IPS panel with the same resolution as the realme Pad at 2000 x 1200. It has slim bezels with an equal thickness on all sides and kind of reminds us of the newer iPads.

In landscape orientation, the 8MP front camera is placed at the top. There’s no fingerprint scanner on the display or on the buttons, so you’ll have to make do with a lock screen password or face unlock.

Still, in landscape, we have the power/lock button, two loudspeakers, and a microphone on the left side.

On the right, we have two loudspeakers and a USB-C port.

Up top, we have the volume buttons and microphone. The buttons are solid and clicky, and easily reachable with your left hand.

Down at the bottom is the card tray for the microSD card.

Flip it on its back and you will see the 13MP main camera. It’s placed inside a protruding glass-like frame which is a nice addition as the camera will look ugly without it.

The realme Pad X uses a metallic frame with a pretty slim body at 7.1 mm so it’s easy to grasp. The bezel has enough thickness to help us hold it firmly without touching the screen. It’s hefty, though, at 499 g, so make sure it doesn’t slip from your hands and land on your face.

The backside has this attractive frosted finish, which is perfect for the Glacier Blue model that we have and also repels smudges and fingerprints well. The other color that will be available is Glowing Gray.

Powering the realme Pad X is a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset with an octa-core CPU, Adreno 619 GPU, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. For the software, it runs on realme UI 3.0 for Pad based on Android 12, and for the battery, it has a large 8,340mAh with support for 33W fast charging.

The realme Pad X is priced at PHP 15,999USD 273INR 23,112EUR 260CNY 1,985. There’s an early bird promo at Shopee where you can buy it for PHP 14,499USD 247INR 20,945EUR 235CNY 1,799 from August 26 to 28. Stay tuned for our full review.
