The standard brother of the family, the x5. It will arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip with 6 and 8 GB versions of RAM, as well as 128 and 256 GB of internal storage.
Its screen will be 6.66” AMOLED with a resolution of 2400 x 1800 pixels. Its refresh rate will reach 120 hertz, while it will give us a brightness of 1200 nits. It will be protected with Gorilla Glass 3.
