Realme Narzo 50 5G
- Potentially higher single-core CPU performance due to faster Cortex-A76 cores.
- Competitive 5G connectivity with the Dimensity 810.
- Good battery endurance (119h)
- Significantly slower 33W charging.
- Likely less optimized software experience compared to Xiaomi.
- Missing detailed camera specifications.
Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G
- 67W fast charging with PD3.0 and QC3 support.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 offers efficient performance and thermal management.
- Potentially better software optimization with MIUI.
- Slightly lower peak CPU clock speeds compared to the Narzo 50 5G.
- Camera details are lacking.
- MIUI can be resource intensive.
Display Comparison
Both devices share an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, suggesting typical IPS LCD characteristics. However, detailed display specs like peak brightness, color gamut coverage, and refresh rate are missing. Given the price bracket, we can assume both utilize 60Hz panels. The absence of LTPO technology means neither phone will offer adaptive refresh rates for power saving. Bezels are likely comparable, and color accuracy will depend heavily on software calibration, a known strength of Xiaomi’s MIUI.
Camera Comparison
Both phones list 'Photo / Video' capabilities, but lack specific sensor details. The absence of information suggests neither phone will feature a flagship-level camera system. We can infer that both will rely on a primary sensor paired with supporting lenses (ultrawide, macro, depth). The prevalence of 2MP macro sensors in this segment suggests both phones likely include one, offering limited practical utility. Image processing will be a key differentiator, with Xiaomi’s MIUI typically offering more aggressive scene optimization.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets: the Realme Narzo 50 5G features the Mediatek Dimensity 810 (6nm), while the Poco X4 Pro 5G uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm). The Dimensity 810 boasts a higher clock speed on its prime Cortex-A76 cores (2.4 GHz vs 2.2 GHz on the Snapdragon 695), suggesting an edge in single-core performance. However, the Snapdragon 695’s Kryo 660 Gold cores are architecturally more efficient, and Qualcomm’s software optimization often translates to better sustained performance and thermal management. Both phones utilize an octa-core configuration with similar efficiency cores (Cortex-A55 at 2.0 GHz vs Kryo 660 Silver at 1.7 GHz). The lack of LPDDR5x RAM specification suggests both likely use LPDDR4x, limiting memory bandwidth.
Battery Life
Both the Realme Narzo 50 5G and Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G achieve an endurance rating of 119 hours, indicating similar battery life under typical usage. However, the charging capabilities are drastically different. The Poco X4 Pro 5G’s 67W wired charging, supporting PD3.0 and QC3, is a significant advantage, achieving 70% charge in 22 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes. The Narzo 50 5G’s 33W charging is considerably slower, requiring significantly longer to reach full capacity. This difference in charging speed will be noticeable in daily use, especially for users who frequently need to top up their battery.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme Narzo 50 5G if you prioritize raw CPU performance for tasks like video editing or running demanding applications, and are comfortable with slower charging speeds. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G if you value faster charging, a potentially more refined software experience, and a balanced performance profile suitable for everyday use and moderate gaming.
