Realme released several flagships in the last months and it is easy to make confusion for those who do not know this brand very well. The latest flagship killer released by the company is the Realme X3 SuperZoom. Right before, we saw the Player Edition of the most expensive flagship from the brand: Realme X50 Pro, which carries a more affordable price but is still 5G-enabled. But in the same price range, there is also the first flagship killer from the Chinese company: Realme X2 Pro. Which is the device with the highest value for money and which is the best for your needs? Find it out with this specs comparison from which we excluded the vanilla Realme X50 Pro due to its higher price tag.

Design
Despite it comes with premium materials (including an aluminum frame and a glass back), Realme X2 Pro is not the device we would recommend if you are seeking the most elegant design. That position of the logo on the rear side is all but amazing and its waterdrop notch makes it look like a more outdated device. Instead, you should go for the Realme X50 Pro Player which sports a minimalistic look, a dual punch-hole display while still guaranteeing premium materials like the Realme X2 Pro. The Realme X3 SuperZoom has a similar design to the Realme X50 Pro Player, but it replaces the aluminum frame with a plastic profile. That is why we recommend the Realme X50 Pro Player, which is also more compact.
Display
Realme X3 SuperZoom provides the highest refresh rate with 120 Hz, but despite that, it has a lower-end display panel compared to Realme X2 Pro and Realme X50 Pro Player. Its two rivals come with the same display specifications, including a Full HD+ resolution, the Super AMOLED technology, the HDR10+ standard and a 90 Hz refresh rate. They differ for the size: Realme X2 Pro has a slightly wider 6.5-inch panel, while Realme X50 Pro Player stops at 6.44 inches.
Hardware/Software
The best hardware department belongs to the Realme X50 Pro Player since it comes with a better processor: the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform, while Realme X3 SuperZoom and Realme X2 Pro are both powered by the Snapdragon 855+. In each case you get up to 12 GB of RAM, but the Realme X50 Pro Player is the only with a UFS 3.1 internal storage (even though it offers max 128 GB instead of 256 GB). An important detail: Realme X50 Pro Player supports 5G connectivity, while Realme X2 Pro and Realme X3 SuperZoom do not. Realme X2 Pro is the only which does not come with Android 10 out of the box, but it already rolled out and can be installed through a software update.
Camera
The weak point of the Realme X50 Pro Player is the camera department: it is way inferior to both Realme X2 Pro and Realme X3 SuperZoom. The Realme X3 SuperZoom is the best camera phone as it comes with better zoom capabilities (up to 5x optical zoom and 60x digital zoom) and a better (and ultrawide) front camera including a 32 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide lens. Note that in each case we are not talking about top-end camera phones.
Battery
Their specifications are different, but Realme X3 SuperZoom, X50 Pro Player and X2 Pro offer more or less the same battery life. Naturally it depends on the usage scenarios, but there is not a big difference between these devices. Realme X2 Pro has a smaller battery, but unlike the Realme X50 Pro Player it does not support 5G and unlike the Realme X3 SuperZoom it has an AMOLED display, so it is less energy-demanding. Realme X50 Pro Player has the fastest charging speeds with its 65W fast-charging tech, but it takes more or less the same time as the X2 Pro to fully-charge since it has a bigger battery.
Price
You can find both Realme X3 SuperZoom (12/256 GB) and Realme X2 Pro (12/256 GB) for €500/$565 globally, but there are lower-end configurations for the Realme X2 Pro with more affordable prices (up to 6/64 GB sold for €399). Realme X50 Pro Player is priced €442/$499 in China and it did not go global, at least for now. We believe that, unless you need a great camera department, Realme X50 Pro Player is the best choice. Between Realme X3 SuperZoom and X2 Pro, the former wins (unless you need the best display), but you can find the latter at more affordable prices.
