The realme Pad X: To learning and working without paper cuts

realme Pad X

Imagine this:

You're a student looking a rows of shelves filled with books from calculating algebra to planting zucchini. Whether you like it or not, you must peruse on a stackful of reading materials.

Or as a work-from-home warrior, how you wish your work files are just nearby when you try to complete job orders and office reports.

Dream and wish no more, technology comes to the rescue with tablets, and realme offers everybody an option -- a learning and working buddy in the Pad X.

The realme Pad X trumps a smartphone as a must-have for serious students and working people. Plus No. 1, you get a bigger screen for reading, browsing and research. Plus No. 2, it can be your work buddy that can store files, and connect you to the office.

The realme Pad X goes on sale with a 10.95" 2K FullView Display, Dolby Atmos Quad Speakers, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G Processor, and 8,340mAh Battery with 33W Dart Charge support.

For much less than 20K, you also get 13MP AI Camera to take impressive photos and the 105° Wide Front Camera that takes care of online classes and zoom meetings. The realme Pad X comes with a 6GB+128GB configuration, and 5G support for both sim card slots.

TechNews got one realme Pad X to review, and we declare it passed our expectations.

Unveiled by realme following the realme Pad and realme Pad mini treats, the Pad X sports the same design principle of having a solid build, despite only having a polycarbonate body.

The realme Pad X measures 7.1mm and weighs well under 500 grams -- quite portable to put into a backpack or small workbag, or simply carry to your school or workplace.

The realme Pad X has two speaker grills positioned on either side of the tablet’s frame, the power button is on top while the volume rocker, microphone, and magnetic pin for the realme Pencil are on the right.

For display, the Pad X has a 10.95" 2K FullView Display offering a resolution of 2,000 x 1,200 pixels with a screen-to-body ratio of 84.6%. The screen works on sharp with vibrant colors, plus viewing angles with a maximum brightness that can reach up to 450 Nits.

Since all work and no play makes one a bore, realme added some more bells and whistles to the Pad X.

We found the quad Dolby Speaker setup on the realme Pad X as among the best ones in the market -- for much less than 20K. It is capable of clear and crisp sounds with minimal distortion even with the volume set on max. You can even add a decent amount of bass for an immersive video-watching experience even without headphones or Bluetooth speakers.

Enjoy a bit of above-average photography with the realme Pad X, and we did with its 13MP Al Camera with an aperture of f/2.2, focal length of 33.7mm, and x6 Zoom. The front 8MP Al Camera has a 105° Wide Front Camera that can take a wider image for groufies. Photo quality isn’t professional, but with the right lighting conditions and the help of AI, our photos came out instagram-worthy. The Limelight feature of the front camera is supported on Google Meet, Zoom, and Google Duo.

The realme Pad X also automatically tracks the user’s face and crops them in and out as they move around the frame, and works well with even five people in the frame.

The realme Pad X is no wimp with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, a popular SoC which has been used by several other Android phones. This power-efficient processor comes with two Cortex-A78, and six Cortex-A55 Cores and is paired with an Adreno 619 GPU. The 6GB RAM plus up to 5GB Dynamic RAM expansion allows for easy multi-tasking even when multiple apps are open.

We must state, the realme Pad X is an efficient multitasker buddy even when used for entertainment and gaming, or to blog, edit photos and videos and create content -- things we used to do in our laptop.

We love the battery life on its 8,340mAh power pack which also comes with a 33W charger inside that could fully charge in about two hours.

We're recommending the realme Pad X to students and people wishing to do a lot with no extra baggage, and no more painful paper cuts.
