Realme X50 5G is Realme’s first 5G phone. Also, It comes with the Realme UI v1.0. Specs-wise other than the processor, It looks like a flagship mobile.64 MP quad-camera setup and 6-12 GB RAM, matches with the Upper mid-range mobiles. Coming to the software side, It comes with the Android 10 based Realme UI. Previous Realme mobiles are using Color OS, which is standard for both Oppo and Realme phones. But, after the release of the Realme X50 5G version, They planned to roll out the Realme UI to another mobile also. The Road map for the software rollout is already published.
You already have Android 10; so, why you need this manual method? Since it is a Snapdragon processor, there is a possibility of Rooting methods. So, If you tried Root and fail, you may need to flash the firmware using Stock Recovery. This method also can help you to unbrick your mobile. But, If you want to do regular patch updates, you can try with the software update option in settings.

Wrap Up
If you are in Stock firmware, Use the Internal Memory method. It is comfortable and safe; You can update like a Regular OTA Update. If you moved to a different region other than your purchased area, you could try with a VPN to get the update. Don’t download any third-party apps; sometimes, it may trigger the updates process. In my opinion, Color OS and Realme UI are better to compare with some other Custom Skin OS like MIUI. So try to use this OS instead of a Custom OS if you planned to root. But the decision is your choice…:). Realme slowly rolling out the Android 10 updates as per the road map. We can expect the updates on other devices soon.

Hi,
Good day. I came across your sites while looking for a solution for my newly bought Realme x50 5G. They seem to go with lots of Chinese Apps which don’t like it. Even the keyboard is filled with Chinese inscriptions. I Aam looking for global firmware the will be free from these Chinese Apps. Is this firmware Chinese rom or global ? is any way you can help me with these, please.
You are asking experimental related flash. You need to unlock your mobile bootloader first. Then you can flash the Global ROM. But It may or may not work.
