Realme X2, X2 Pro hands-on review

Performance

The Realme X2 Pro has the Snapdragon 855+ doing the hard work and it barely needs introduction. We've already seen Qualcomm's fall refresh in a few handsets and it delivers marginal improvements over the already plenty capable non-plus version.

We ran a limited selection of the usual benchmarks on a floor unit, and the results are a bit of a mixed bag - take these numbers with a grain of salt as it's unclear how final the software it, or what abuse the device has seen before we got to it.
