With its amazing performance and its incredibly affordable price, it may cannibalize the sales of the other best-selling devices in the Asian market, such as the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Alongside these two devices, even Samsung is trying to conquer the midrange segment with a new device: the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy A60. Which of these devices will have the biggest success and which is worth buying currently? We can give you an idea about it in this in-depth specs comparison.

Design

Are you searching for the most innovative, futuristic and optimized design? Then go for the Samsung Galaxy A60 as it is definitely the most attractive thanks to its punch-hole display. With an in-display camera, it does not need a notch in order to minimize the bezels around the display, and it comes with a very high screen-to-body ratio. But if you are seeking for the best build quality, then choose the Redmi Note 7 Pro as it is water resistant and it is equipped with a strong Gorilla Glass 5 display. Even the Realme 3 Pro has a Gorilla Glass 5 display, but it is not as impressive as its rivals because it is not water resistant, it has a classic polycarbonate design and it does not sport a punch-hole display.

 

Display

Talking about the displays, Samsung is always the master when it comes to smartphones panels. But not in this case. Unlike most of the other mid-rangers by the company, the Samsung Galaxy A60 has a classic IPS panel instead of a Super AMOLED display. So you will not notice a big difference between the Samsung Galaxy A60, the Realme 3 Pro and the Redmi Note 7 Pro. All of them sport an average LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution, so it is essentially a draw.

 

Specs & Software

Realme 3 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 710 chipset, while Redmi Note 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A60 are equipped with a Snapdragon 675. Are you wondering which SoC is better? It essentially depends on your needs. The Snapdragon 710 comes with a better GPU, so it has higher graphics performance. It is better for gaming and all those activities which require a strong GPU. But in CPU performances and daily use, the Snapdragon 675 is slightly more convincing, despite it belongs to a lower-end series. Realme 3 Pro, Redmi Note 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy A60 all come with 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of expandable internal storage, and they are all based on Android 9 Pie.

 

Camera

Realme 3 Pro borrows the primary sensor of its dual rear camera from the OnePlus 6T, so it is definitely an amazing camera phone for its price range. But Samsung Galaxy A60 is even more interesting with its bright 32 MP f/1.7 main sensor and a triple camera including an ultrawide lens. So that is what would I go for: the Samsung Galaxy A60 due to its brighter focal aperture and its ultrawide sensor. But do not underestimate Redmi Note 7 Pro which still comes with an awesome 48 MP dual camera.

 

Battery

The software optimization will decide everything here, as the Realme 3 Pro and the Redmi Note 7 Pro come with similar battery capacity, as well as a similar hardware department. Unfortunately, we did not test Realme 3 Pro’s battery life, so we can not give a definitive opinion. Given that Samsung Galaxy A60 has a smaller battery, we believe it will lose this comparison.

 

Price

Realme 3 Pro starts from just €180/$200 (4/64 GB), Redmi Note 7 Pro costs €200/$225 in its base variant and Samsung Galaxy A60 costs €270/$305 (but in the 6/128 GB configuration). At the end of the day, I would go for the Samsung Galaxy A60 for its punch-hole display and ultrawide camera.
