Asus is ready to ramp up the gaming smartphone market with the new ROG PHONE 6 series models. We already know of the ROG PHONE 6D Ultra and the ROG PHONE 6D slated for this month’s launch. But now, another special edition of the upcoming flagship ROG PHONE 6 series is confirmed to debut soon. Asus is bringing in a treat for Marvel fans with the ROG PHONE 6 Batman Edition. The renders of the ROG PHONE 6 Batman Edition have surfaced online.
Asus ROG PHONE 6 Batman Edition Renders Leaked Online
The Asus ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition development has been tipped by 91Mobiles. The publication has shared official-looking renders of the upcoming ROG PHONE 6 series special DC-themed model. This isn’t the first time we have seen smartphone OEMs bringing Marvel or DC universe-themed phones. But for a gaming handset, this would be first-of-its-kind.
The ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition will have Batman-based themes in the design aspects including skins. Apart from the distinctive design elements, the ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition will be packed with a similar set of specifications and features as the standard ROG Phone 6 model. The camera island design and the RGB strip are identical to the older model. The placement of the keys and ports will also be the same as the previous model.
Nevertheless, the customized themes and skins would be a visual delight for the universe fans. The report doesn’t specify the exact date when this Special Edition model will go official. However, the handset is likely breaking covers alongside the ROG 6D Ultra. Just for reference, Asus has scheduled the official launch event for the ROG 6D Ultra on September 19 in the global markets.
Since the ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition’s hardware features are expected to be identical to the vanilla ROG Phone 6, we can expect the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset to take care of the power delivery. The special edition ROG 6 gaming phone will possibly be available with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variants.
The device could come with an AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. The optics on the ROG 6 Batman Edition could comprise a 50MP triple rear camera setup and a 12MP selfie camera. The battery capacity expected is 6,000 mAh with 65W fast charging support. But until Asus confirms these details, we would suggest you take this information as grain of salt.
We have seen a trend with smartphone OEMs targeting the tablet market and bringing advanced products for daily and extensive use. Realme is one of the brands which has started its innings in the mobile tablet industry with the launch of the Realme Pad series tablets. Until now, the company has launched three tablets in India and the global markets including the Realme Pad Mini, vanilla Realme Pad, and the Realme Pad X.
The Realme Pad X is the brand’s latest tablet model and is the most advanced variant in the entire lot. Like the smartphone industry, Realme is also showing its expertise in the tablet space by launching pocket-friendly yet powerful devices for daily and extensive usage.
The Realme Pad X is taking the crown for being the most budget-friendly 5G Android tablet in the markets including India. Features such as a 2K LCD display, a premium mid-range Snapdragon 600 series 5G chipset, and fast charging enabled battery. You can buy the Realme Pad X in India starting at Rs. 19,999.
Now, this sub Rs. 20,000 starting price tag might sound worth spending on a full-fledged Android tablet that can easily handle any given task. But should you? It’s always better to invest in any such gadget if you are sure of its performance delivery. If you have been eyeing this Realme tablet as your next upgrade, you must read this review article to clear all confusion related to its daily life performance.
Realme Pad X 5G Tablet Review
Design, Display User Experience
We would say the Realme Pad X is a stunner in terms of looks. This tablet gives a robust feel when you take it out of the retail box. The tablet flaunts a Glowing Light design which is a mix of sparking sand texturing along with concave lens UV texturing that allows for a glittering astral effect.
We are impressed with the Realme Pad X’s design language. It isn’t just appealing but also practical for daily usage. Realme has used a plastic back material for the Pad X 5G. The quality is good and doesn’t feel cheap anyhow. A squarish transparent camera module is neatly placed on the top-left corner housing a single snapper with the AI badging.
With a 7.1mm ultra-slim profile and just 499 grams of weight, the Realme Pad X offers a comfortable grip during operations. You will have no complaints with its usage be it for general tasks or gaming. Of course, you can’t compare the single-hand user experience of tablets with smartphones. But you get the added benefit of using a keyboard for a laptop-like user experience.
In addition to the keyboard, you can also use the Realme pencil (stylus pen) with the Pad X 5G. The stylus pen can be magnetically latched on the top. Do note that this is an additional accessory that you would need to buy separately. The ports and key placement is neat. The power key is on the right edge of the top panel, while the volume keys are placed on the right spine.
At the bottom, the Realme Pad X has a USB Type-C port and speaker grilles. Just for reference, this tablet has a quad-speaker system for audio delivery out of which two are bottom-firing and two are top-firing speakers. The tablet has Dolby Atmos certification that allows for loud and clear audio output.
Quickly moving over the display, the Realme Pad X 5G tablet sports an IPS LCD screen that is surrounded by comparatively narrow bezels as you see on the old-generation Android tablets. The screen size is 10.95 inches and the resolution is WUXGA+, i.e., 1200 x 2000 pixels. The full view display on the Realme Pad X 5G has an 84.6 percent screen-to-body ratio and 450 nits peak brightness levels.
The display visibility is decent under direct sunlight. We had the least struggles while using the Pad X 5G tablet outdoors. Since the panel is a standard LCD, don’t expect a super crisp output and deeper blacks as you would get on an AMOLED panel.
Now, this is one of those areas where we believe Realme could have made a perfect device by using an upgraded AMOLED or Super AMOLED. However, that would have significantly increased the rates of this tablet. Using an LCD panel is one of the brand’s strategies to effectively reduce pricing.
But this doesn’t mean the quality deteriorates with video playback or gaming. You still get to enjoy your favorite TV shows and movies at high quality. We have been streaming videos via OTT platforms and have also played videos from the offline directory. Our viewing experience has been good overall.
Realme Pad X 5G Hardware Performance
The Realme Pad X 5G has the Snapdragon 695 chipset packed under its hood for power delivery. Realme has made sure that consumers get a premium user experience while operating the Pad X 5G tablet. The octa-core Qualcomm processor with 5G network support ensures the same. The Snapdragon 695 5G processor gets Adreno 619 GPU support for graphics.
You can opt for dual configurations including 4GB RAM+ 64 GB storage and 6GB RAM+ 128GB storage options. The Wi-Fi+ LTE variant that we have received ships with a dedicated SIM card slot which lets you use two SIM cards and one microSD card (up to 512GB). We have been using this tablet for all kinds of tasks; majorly for media playback.
During its entire usage, the tablet has delivered an overall good performance with general as well as extensive tasks. We have received the 6GB RAM variant which offered a swift multitasking experience. We could easily switch between multiple apps and also perform different tasks simultaneously with this processor.
The premium mid-range chipset along with the high RAM capacity makes sure the performance delivery isn’t hampered in any scenario. You can expect a similar performance delivery with gaming as well. The tablet is capable of rendering graphic-extensive games with ease.
In terms of the software, the Realme Pad X 5G ships with the Android 12 OS out-of-the-box. The user interface on top of the Android build is RealmeUI 3.0. The UI is tweaked for the tablet. The usage gets convenient with this UI.
Thankfully, the Pad X 5G’s UI is neat and you don’t get multiple pre-installed bloatware which allows for a cleaner UI. Realme has added multiple features with which the user experience is elevated while using the Pad X 5G. You get to use Split screen, a Flexible Window, and Smart Sidebar with the Realme UI 3.0 on the Pad X 5G.
How Is The Camera Performance?
The Realme Pad X 5G is packed with a bigger 13MP main camera at the back. The primary camera of this tablet comes with an f/2.2 aperture and has multiple shooting modes as you would get on the Realme-labelled smartphones. The Realme Pad X 5G’s back camera supports AI scene recognition, HDR, AI Filter, and other modes.
The camera on this tablet can also shoot slow-motion videos. The standard video recording capabilities include 720p@30fps, 720p@60fps, and 1080p@30fps/60fps video recording. The cameras are good at capturing details if you are clicking pictures in broad daylight or specifically in areas with ample lighting conditions.
The 8MP selfie snapper with an f/2.0 aperture is suitable for video calling. Specifically, if you plan to join an official video conferencing call on this tablet, you wouldn’t be disappointed. The selfie camera performs well with all the popular video conferencing apps such as Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.
Battery Backup And Charging Speeds
The Realme Pad X is equipped with a massive 8,340 mAh battery unit and has both fast as well as reverse charging technologies. The Realme Pad X 5G’s is enabled with 33W Dart Charge. Talking of the backup and charging speeds, the mid-rage 5G Realme tablet offers over six hours of backup if the usage is moderate or light.
The backup reduces slightly if you are using this tablet extensively. As far as the charging speeds are concerned, expect around three hours of a plug-in for a full recharge (zero to 100 percent).
Realme Pad X 5G: Worth A Buy?
The Realme Pad X 5G has impressed us with its performance delivery and practical yet appealing design. This tablet makes for the perfect upgrade to a bigger screen for smartphone users who still don’t wish to buy a new laptop considering the portability factor. The Realme Pad X 5G with a starting Rs. 19,999 price tag is definitely a value-for-money deal if your want a full-fledged Android tablet for creative tasks, gaming, or media playback. Not to forget the support for additional accessories such as a keyboard and stylus pen (Realme Pencil).
