The all-new Realme Pad X comes with the solid build quality. The back is a polycarbonate material which offers an excellent in-hand feel. It does not feel flimsy. Furthermore, there are no wobbly or mushy buttons. Considering the price point, the Realme Pad X offers a pretty premium in-hand experience. It is great to see that Realme has not compromised on the build quality. This is one of the areas to get axed by most tech companies.
At first look, the colour and the design of Realme Pad X remind me of the younger sibling Realme Pad Mini. In terms of physical structure, the volume rockers are present on the top, along with a microphone. The newly launched Realme Tab comes with a Hybrid SIM expansion slot. I can use Hybrid SIM (Nano + Nano/ microSD) on this tablet. Meanwhile, this SIM tray is present on the bottom edge.

Physical Design
The right edge features a USB Type-C port in the middle and dual speakers on both edges. The left edge gets the power button, speakers and a microphone. Meanwhile, all four side gets the metal finish. However, unlike the aluminum back panel on the Realme Pad and the Pad Mini, the Realme Pad X has a plastic back.
The back panel on Realme Pad X gets a sparkling sand texture, looks premium. Furthermore, the back panel does not attract fingerprints that easily. The 13MP rear camera sits on the corner with AI branding. Besides this, we can also see the small Realme branding.
Realme Pad X Tab: Display and Performance
The all-new Realme Pad X has an excellent display for the price point. The 10.95-inch display on the Realme Pad X Tab comes with a WUXGA+ (Widescreen eXtened Graphics Array Plus) screen resolution of 1200*2000 pixels. The display offers a 213 PPI Pixel density and 84.6 per cent screen-to-body ratio.

In terms of display quality, the screen is adequately bright in indoor lighting conditions. Realme claims that the display can reach a peak brightness of 450 nits with Sunlight Mode active with indoor lighting conditions. The viewing angles are decent enough. However, the screen is glossy and is prone to fingerprints. Also Read – Realme Pad Tab Mini, HP Pavilion x360 Stylus Pen price in India and other tech news
Realme Pad X Tab also gets reading mode. With Reading Mode, the display turns black and white. It is pretty helpful while long reading sessions. The eye comfort mode cuts out the blue light. Furthermore, the Realme Pad X offers good depth and colour reproduction with an LCD display panel. I enjoy watching YouTube videos and movies on the Realme Pad X. Along with an adequately bright display; the sound quality is also decent enough.
The Quad-Speaker setup on the latest Realme Pad X Tab can get loud without adding any distortion. The sound quality is pretty decent, considering other competitors in the market. The audio system doesn’t feel tinny or lack bass. However, there is no place for the 3.5mm headphone jack. In my opinion, this should have been on all the tablets across different price ranges.

Snapdragon 695 Performance on Realme Tab
In general, day-to-day tasks, Realme Pad X offers pretty good performance. With Snapdragon 695 SoC onboard, the performance of the mid-range tablet is decent.

The Realme Tab delivers impressive performance for the price. Another plus point is that this Realme Pad X tablet has proper support for 13 5G bands. It will ensure high-speed data connectivity whenever the 5G rolls out. Furthermore, there is also a sport for microSD card, which will be fruitful with memory expansion.

The Chinese tech giant claims that with this fast-charging solution, the battery can charge from 0 to 50 per cent in just 1 hour. It will take over 2 hours to charge completely from 50 per cent. It is better charging speeds, as the previous generation models take over 3 hours to charge completely.

Furthermore, we also get Google Kid Space, which provides a wide range of apps, videos and books suitable for children. Moreover, parents can also set screen usage limits and restricted apps.
A multi-screen Collaboration feature also comes with Realme Pad. It allows smartphone users to case their phone’s screen on the Realme Pad X.
