Camera

The X50's camera setup consists of a 48 MP wide sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 13 MP portrait sensor and a 5 MP macro sensor. The X50 Pro's is similar to the X50's, but the macro sensor is replaced with a telephoto sensor. The X50 Pro is largely the same as the X50 Pro with the exception of a larger 50 MP wide sensor. The portrait sensor on the Pro phones is a conventional lens with 2x optical zoom, whereas the telephoto sensor is a "periscope" lens with 5x optical zoom. The wide camera has the Sony IMX598 sensor on the X50 and X50 Pro and the Samsung ISOCELL GN1 sensor on the X50 Pro+. Additionally, the X50 Pro has a more advanced mini- stabilizer compared to the standard OIS system used in the X50 and X50 Pro+. The front camera uses a 32 MP sensor on all three X50 phones.

Software

The X50 series runs on Funtouch OS 10.5, which is based on Android 10.
