Realme is making details of the Realme X official bit-by-bit, and the latest dope comes on the fingerprint scanner. The company has now confirmed through a teaser that the Realme X will sport an in-display fingerprint scanner on board. The phone has been teased earlier to sport a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor on board, and teaser posters have also suggested that the phone will sport a pop-up selfie camera and a 91.6 percent screen-to-body ratio.

A fresh poster on Weibo suggests that the Realme X will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner. The poster also says that the fingerprint sensor is powered by DSP acceleration technology. This technology makes the sensor faster and lets it work well even under direct sunlight - tipping it is an optical fingerprint sensor. The poster reiterates the China launch date which is set for May 15, and the Realme X Lite (aka Realme Youth Edition) is slated to launch alongside as well. The Realme X Lite is largely rumoured to be the rebranded version of the Realme 3 Pro.
