Although realme has unveiled realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12, the brand is yet to roll out the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 to eligible devices. The latest smartphone to receive the last year’s Android update is the then-popular realme 3 Pro.

The realme 3 Pro was one of the hottest phones of its time. Unlike its biggest competitor (Redmi Note 7 Pro), it is eligible for two Android updates and has now finally started receiving the second one in the form of realme UI 2.0 (Android 11).

According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the new system update for realme 3 Pro arrives with firmware version RMX1851EX_11.F.05, In order to get this build, users should be on firmware version RMX1851EX_11.F.04.

The smartphone got access to realme UI 2.0 Early Access (beta) in July. So that means it took the brand three months to deliver the stable update.

As mentioned in the beginning, Android 11 is the second and the last major software update for realme 3 Pro. The device debuted with ColorOS 6.x based on Android 9.0 Pie and was updated to Android 10-based realme UI prior to the fresh update.

Having said that, the handset should continue receiving security updates for a while.

Oppo and Vivo are launching a lot of smartphones focused on the quality-price ratio, and they are becoming a serious menace to Xiaomi and the most important smartphones manufacturers. This goes all in favor of the final consumer, but it becomes harder for the consumer to choose the perfect device for his needs. Each of the recently-announced Oppo Reno Z, Realme 3 Pro, and Vivo Z5x is a best-buy and we highly recommend these handsets to a lot of people because of their advanced features at very reasonable prices. Given that they are among the best devices you can buy for about €200, we are going to compare them in order to establish which one has the highest value for money.

Oppo Reno Z vs Oppo Realme 3 Pro vs Vivo Z5x

Design

Despite we are talking about very affordable handsets, the design is not a weak point of Oppo Reno Z, Vivo Z5x and Realme 3 Pro. They all come with stunning gradient backs, but the materials play an important role here. While Realme 3 Pro is entirely made of plastic, the Oppo Reno Z has a glass back and even a more original rear design. While I like the Oppo Reno Z more than Realme 3 Pro, my favorite one is the Vivo Z5x because of its punch-hole display. Goodbye waterdrop notch: this smartphone gets rid of display bezels thanks to a more futuristic and less invasive in-display front camera.

Display

Despite it is not a punch-hole display, the best screen belongs to the Oppo Reno Z. It is the only device of this trio to feature an AMOLED panel, with vivid colors and deep blacks. The AMOLED panel also allows the presence of an in-display fingerprint reader that is more comfortable than the rear-mounted fingerprint scanners found on the Realme 3 Pro and the Vivo Z5x. An advantage of the Vivo Z5x is its larger screen diagonal: 6.53 inches.

Specs & Software

The hardware department is the key feature of each of these handsets, as all of them are equipped with an upper-midrange chipset while being sold at a lower-midrange price. Vivo Z5x and Realme 3 Pro come with an octa-core Snapdragon 710 SoC which is better compared to the Helio P90 mounted on the Oppo Reno Z, with a higher clock frequency, a better GPU, and a better 10 nm production process. Between Vivo Z5x and Realme 3 Pro, the former wins the hardware comparison because it sports up to 8 GB of RAM. All of them come with Android 9 Pie out of the box and a customized UI.

Camera

Despite it has no triple camera unlike the Vivo Z5x, Oppo Reno Z wins the camera comparison thanks to a better primary sensor which comes with a 48 MP resolution and a bright f/1.7 aperture. It clicks more detailed shots thanks to its Quad Bayer technology and it can even record 4K videos. Oppo Reno Z wins even when it comes to the front camera, with a great 32 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

Vivo Z5x may have a worse camera, but it has a mammoth 5000 mAh battery and it can last way more than both Oppo Reno Z and Realme 3 Pro on a single charge. There is even a fast-charging technology, so it will not take so long to fully charge that huge 5000 mAh unit.

Price

In the Asian, Oppo Reno Z, Vivo Z5x, and Realme 3 Pro are all sold for about €200/$225, so you should not mind about the price difference. Overall, Vivo Z5x is the best one for me as it comes with a bigger battery, amazing performances, and an innovative design. But some may like the Oppo Reno Z more due to its better display, camera, and UD fingerprint reader.

The Redmi Note 7 is becoming a best-seller in the global market, but in India, the handset lacks its most impressive feature: the 48 MP camera. Finally, Xiaomi put a remedy to this by launching a more advanced version of the device in the Indian peninsula: the Redmi Note 7S. Will this variant be enough to beat the strong competition from the other big brands in India? Among the hardest devices to beat there are the new Realme 3 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy M20 which are doing very well in India and we believe they will do even better. Here is a complete specs comparison between the three candidate best-sellers of 2019!

Redmi Note 7S vs Samsung Galaxy M20 vs Realme 3 Pro

Design

While I do not like the Samsung Galaxy M20 that much, Realme 3 Pro and Redmi Note 7 looks very gorgeous in renders. But there is a major difference between them once you hold them: the materials. While the Realme 3 Pro has a cheap plastic body, the Redmi Note 7S has a way better glass back protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5. The glass back makes it way more beautiful and premium. On the other hand, Realme 3 Pro has a higher screen-to-body ratio, so narrower bezels around the display. But I personally think that having a phone with better materials is more important than having slimmer display bezels. Do you agree?

Display

Samsung devices, especially mid-rangers, usually distinguished from the mass due to their better display panels. Unfortunately, that is not the case with the Samsung Galaxy M20. In order to sell the device at a more competitive price, the Korean giant cut on the display by equipping this budget-friendly device with a TFT panel. So the Galaxy M20 is not the device you should look for if you need the best display. On the other side, Redmi Note 7 and Realme 3 Pro come with average IPS panels. Our suggestion is not to choose your preferred device by basing on the display quality which is not so different between these handsets.

Specs & Software

The hardware is probably the department which will influence a big part of the public while choosing which of these mid-rangers to purchase. The handset which offers the best overall performance is the Realme 3 Pro as it comes with a more powerful SoC. We are referring to the Snapdragon 710 by Qualcomm which comes with better CPU and GPU compared to both its rivals. The second place goes to the Redmi Note 7S which is equipped with the old but gold Snapdragon 660, still a great alternative to the Snapdragon 710 on its price range. Realme 3 Pro also comes in the best memory configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, so there is no chance for Redmi Note 7S and Samsung Galaxy M20 to beat it.

Camera

The clear winner when it comes to the camera department is the Redmi Note 7S. As mentioned above, rear cameras are the key feature of this mid-ranger. It boasts a main 48 MP sensor which provides a higher level of detail if we compare it with the concurrency, as well as a secondary depth sensor. But the Samsung Galaxy M20 remains an interesting camera phone as it is the only to feature an ultrawide secondary sensor, so do not underestimate it. If we talk about the front camera, then Realme 3 Pro wins the comparison due to its way better 25 MP sensor.

Battery

The battery king in this comparison is the Samsung Galaxy M20 with its huge 5000 mAh unit. If you do not put it too much under load, it can even reach and pass three days of battery life on a single charge.

Price

Redmi Note 7S debuted with a price starting from about €140/$155, while Realme 3 Pro starts from €200/$225 just like the Samsung Galaxy M20. Overall, I personally prefer the Realme 3 Pro because of its better chipset, but the Redmi Note 7S has a very high value for money.

Realme 3 Pro was launched in India last month with mid-level specifications. In a bid to expand its availability, the company is launching the Realme 3 Pro in Malaysia on May 14. Realme will unveil the new device in Malaysia at a local launch event. The pricing and availability details are still unknown.

Realme 3 Pro is aimed to compete with the Redmi Note 7 Pro, as it carries similar specs and caters the same market segment. The device sells for the same price of Redmi Note 7 Pro in India, and we expect the same regime to continue in Malaysia.

In India, the 4GB RAM + 64 GB internal storage sells for INR 13,999 (RM830), while the bigger – 6GB RAM + 128 GB storage is available for INR 16999 (RM1010).

Recently, Realme launched its new Realme 3 Pro smartphone. What makes the budget phone worth your money is the fluid performance, thanks to its Snapdragon 710 SoC and a really long-lasting 4,045mAh battery.

Here’s the pricing of the two variants of the Realme 3 Pro:

• 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage – Rs. 13,999 (~$200)
• 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage – Rs. 16,999 (~$244)

VIDEO REVIEW

On April 22nd, OPPO’s independent sub-brand Realme officially released the Realme 3 Pro in India, which directly targets the Xiaomi sub-brand Redmi’s latest model Redmi Note 7 Pro.

For those who are living on a tight budget, value for money always comes first when they consider buying a smartphone. In case of the Realme 3 Pro, it has significant upgrades compared to its predecessor and monster-like hardware among its peers, which includes the Redmi Note 7 Pro. But still, is it really worth your hard-earned money? Let’s find out.

DESIGN

Compared to the Realme 3, the newest ‘Pro’ version continues to use a plastic shell. However, thanks to the special color edition, the body has a unique glass finish. Speaking of colors, the Pro keeps surprising us—the previous model had a horizontal gradient. But the new model changes the color gradient in an ‘S’ shaped design. 

Sadly we find it is rather slippery when holding with one hand and easily attracts fingerprints. So a protective case is highly recommended.

DISPLAY

The screen is made up of a 6.3 inch LCD with a 19 by 9 aspect ratio and, as expected, 1080p resolution. Still, the Pro version adopts a water drop style notch. The front camera, light sensor, distance sensor, and earpiece are all embedded in it.

Also, the ‘Pro’ version upgrades the PPI to 410, which means you hardly notice any pixelization or blurriness in the screen while reading texts. 

Sadly we cannot adjust the color space to sRGB or P3 but we do have a choice between cooler or warmer color temperature.

Thanks to the 90.8% screen-to-body ratio, the phone provides an immersive experience while viewing images and watching videos.

SPEAKER

As for the audio, the Realme 3 Pro comes with a single speaker on the bottom right side. And we can find a 3.5mm headphone jack on the left. This is a really friendly feature for gamers who are constantly hooked in playing games even when the phone is being charged.

You can’t complain much about a budget device’s speaker quality, however, the Realme 3 Pro actually does a decent job when playing music. The performance on the high and low frequency is average but far from ideal. However, the vocals are surprisingly clear and satisfying.

UNLOCK SYSTEM

Still no in-screen fingerprint sensor, but let’s try the fingerprint scanner mounted on the back. You hardly feel any delay and the accuracy is also great. Besides, the face ID is also available on this Pro model. But due to the lack of 3D face unlock system, I can simply unlock it by using one of my selfies.

OPERATING SYSTEM

There are not many visible upgrades in this department as compared to the Realme 3. They are both powered by the latest ColorOS 6.0 system over Android 9. Compared to the Redmi Note 7 Pro, Realme’s UI adds space in between different aspects of the UI, instead of dividing lines. This gives the UI a cleaner look. 

Moreover, you will notice that all your apps have been stored in a drawer, which reminds me of a very vintage style. It is like the interface that used to exist in ancient Nokia phones.

What is worth mentioning is that we found a specially designed mode for motorcyclists. During the ride, all notifications are muted and auto-replied with SMS. The incoming calls are displayed in larger fonts. Considering motorcycles play an important role in India, this kind of localization can efficiently avoid accidents.

HARDWARE DEPARTMENTS

Finally, we have got a Qualcomm chip in a budget phone. Equipped with Snapdragon 710 processor, the Realme 3 Pro performs quite impressively both in CPU and GPU departments.

All the apps respond immediately. Instead of closing the background apps, Realme 3 Pro freezes them. So you hardly notice stutters or lags when switching apps.

What makes the phone worth your money? My answer is its outstanding GPU. The Adreno 616 GPU guarantees real visual sense and more efficient and advanced 3D image rendering, which gives me a very fluent and pleasant gaming experience the whole time.

BATTERY LIFE

This is where I find the Realme 3 Pro comes in really handy. Featuring a 4045 mAh battery, there will be no battery anxiety even before you go to bed.

And with the help of the VOOC flash charge technology and the 20W charging brick, the phone charges from 0% to 10% in just 5 minutes, nearly 50% after half an hour, and fully charged in 80 minutes.

CAMERAS

The Realme 3 Pro has a 16MP primary camera with AI scene recognition and auto face detection. The aperture of the lens is larger than before—from 1.8 in the realme 3 to 1.7 in the Pro version. There is also a secondary 5MP camera as a depth sensor that completes the dual camera setup. But no zoom or wide-angle lens are to be found.

In good lighting conditions, photos turn out to be impressive—great balance between bright parts and dark parts. The color is accurate enough with good contrast. But once you zoom in a bit, the amount of details in the picture go down.  

The dynamic range is just about average but luckily I found a solution to this, the chroma boost mode makes it up. You can enable it from the viewfinder, it efficiently improves the dynamic range by stacking multiple images and AI algorithm. Certain colors now are richer and brighter but the saturation sometimes is so strong that the pictures don’t look very real.

When shooting at night, we can still notice the overexposed highlights and high noise level. Images get better when we enable the HDR or the chroma boost mode but it’s far from perfect.

The upgraded nightscape mode does better than the last generation. You can definitely notice the improvements when you enable it. Thanks to the anti-shake and multi-frame synergy, the images here have more details, a balance of optimum exposure and well-controlled noise.

The biggest improvement in the camera department of the Realme 3 pro is its amazing selfie camera. A huge jump from 13MP to 25MP and f/2.0. I really like it for its pleasant soft colors and enough sharpness at the same time.

Turning on the portrait mode, we find some issues around the shoulder area of the person, as it often gets mixed with the background. It seems that the algorithm needs some improvements.

CONCLUSION

Overall, if you are looking for a budget phone which comes with a fantastic industry design, decent display, and great CPU and GPU performances, this is definitely your primary choice. Especially if you spend most of your leisure time on your cell phone, the large 4000mAh+ battery gets rid of many of your possible worries.

However, I feel the camera department could use some improvement. This doesn’t mean it’s not good, as for the given price the Realme 3 Pro does have some impressive features like chroma boost mode and nightscape mode.

It’s worth mentioning that the Realme series has made a lot of efforts in introducing features relevant to its target markets like India. This proves that the company is determined to win a larger market share as well as provide better services, especially in the Asian region.

Last week, two new Realme phones with model numbers RMX1851 and RMX1901 were spotted for the first time on the database of China’s TENAA telecom authority with minimal specs. The images of the RMX1851 revealed that it is the Realme 3 Pro phone for the Chinese audience. The handset was recently introduced in India. However, the RMX1901 is an entirely new phone that features a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie camera. Today, Realme CMO Xu Qi has confirmed through his Weibo account that the name of the device is Realme X.

Xu Qi’s latest Weibo post was written through a new Realme phone named Realme X. The handset is described as “full screen dare to leapfrog” (translated text) which suggests that the phone will be delivering full screen experience. Yesterday, Realme had released its first theme song in which a mysterious smartphone with pop-up selfie camera and a notch-less display was seen. This phone will be hitting the Chinese market as Realme X.

The Realme X images on TENAA have revealed that it features a vertical dual camera setup and an LED flash on the rear. There is no fingerprint on the back panel of the phone.  Hence, it appears that the Realme X could be the company’s first phone to arrive with in-screen fingerprint reader.

The dimensions of the Realme X are 161.2 x 76 x 9.4mm. The large-sized phone features a big display of 6.5 inches that probably carries support for full HD+ resolution. Even though the handset features a slightly thick-sized chin, it will be offering a high screen-to-body ratio. The smartphone includes a minimum capacity battery of 3,680mAh. The rear shell has a gradient finish with black and blue colors. The top edge of the phone features a 3.5mm audio jack. There is no other information on the specifications of the phone.rea

The budding Realme 3 Pro was launched in India last week, the company later added a new memory variant even before the device went on its first sale. The device went on its first sale today and it did that with a bang. Official data released by the brand on its Twitter page shows the over 170,000 units of the device were made available for the flash sale and the units were all sold out in just 8 minutes.

The second flash sale will also take place today and we expect even more units to get sold in record time.

The Realme brand has increasingly become a popular one within just two years of its existence. This is due to the quality products backed by an affordable pricing regime. The Realme 3 Pro is no different, with a solid build and cheap pricing starting at Rs. 13,999 ($200).

Last week, Realme RMX1851 and RMX1901 had bagged approval from China’s telecom authority. The TENAA certifications of these phones have only revealed few information such as dimensions, display size and battery capacity. The RMX1851 is the Realme 3 Pro smartphone that was recently made official in India. The identity of the RMX1901 phone is not known yet. Its TENAA images have suggested that it could be featuring a pop-up selfie camera module. Toda, Realme has released its new theme song on Weibo. The video features the very same RMX1901 mysterious phone with notch-less display and pop-up selfie camera.

At the very beginning of the video, the handset is shown sporting a 3.5mm audio jack on its top edge. Few seconds into the video, the front view of the phone is revealed. The handset features a huge display. According to TENAA listing, the smartphone is equipped with a 6.5-inch display that probably carries support for full HD+ display.

The display is surrounded by super-slim bezels and it has a thick-sized chin. Going ahead of the video, the smartphone is seen with its center-positioned pop-up selfie camera. The video gives a glimpse of the rear panel of the phone, but nothing about its design can be deduced from it.

The TENAA images of the RMX1901 have revealed that it features a vertical dual camera setup and an LED flash on its rear shell. A fingerprint scanner is not available on the rear side of the device. It appears that the phone could be feature an OLED display that is embedded with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The smartphone measures 161.2 x 76. x 9.4mm and it houses a battery that has a minimum capacity of 3,680mAh.

Realme has already confirmed that it will land in China sometime in the coming days. Ahead of its official launch, a couple of Realme smartphones have been certified by TENAA. One of the two models features a full-screen design up front, hinting at a pop-up camera design.

The two models certified on TENAA are RMX1901 and RMX1851. The first model seems to be a premium offering. According to the official pictures uploaded on TENAA, the RMX1901 model will come with a full-screen display and a dual camera module placed vertically at the middle of the back panel. The certification website mentions the thickness as 9.4mm, which further hints at a pop-up mechanical camera solution for selfies. Other specs include a 6.5-inch display and 3680mAh battery. We couldn’t find a physical fingerprint sensor on board, so it’s likely that it comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The second model in question, the Realme RMX1851 looks very similar to the recently launched Realme 3 Pro. So, it’s likely that the phone will launch with similar specs as the Indian version of the new Realme mid-ranger that was announced a couple of days back.

Giveaway – Win a Realme 3 Pro Smartphone

The post Giveaway – Win a Realme 3 Pro Smartphone appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo is ready to dominate the midrange segment of the smartphones market with a brand new device from its sub-brand: the Realme 3 Pro. 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.

Oppo Realme 3 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A60

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.

One of the features the Realme 3 Pro will have is support for Fortnite right out of the box. Its closest competitor, the Redmi Note 7 Pro doesn’t support the popular mobile game and Realme is using that as a marketing strategy. However, that may change soon.

We wouldn’t be wrong to say Xiaomi/Redmi feels threatened by the Realme 3 Pro. See the tweet below from the head of Xiaomi India, Manu Kumar Jain.

Recently a brand has started talking about Qualcomm SD 710.

Here's the thruth: it's a one year old processor! We launched a phone with SD 710 (globally) in Q2 2018.

SD 675 is the latest one: 16% faster than SD 710!! Check out Antutu scores.#WhyLaunch1YearOld? RT if you agree. pic.twitter.com/avhrMbgq4n

— Manu Kumar Jain (@manukumarjain) April 15, 2019

The brand he’s referring to is Realme and the Realme 3 Pro is the phone that will have the “one-year-old” Snapdragon 710 processor. To be fair, Realme started it first with the tweet below.

How about playing #Fortnite on #realme3Pro? I believe #realme3Pro will be the 1st in its segment that can directly support it. Tried to play this game on some latest "Pro" devices but none of them could manage. When it comes to speed, chipset matters.

Anyway, Redmi Note 7 Pro users may soon be able to play Fortnite on their phones according to Mr. Jain.

The RN7 Pro doesn’t support it because the chipset powering it, the Snapdragon 675, isn’t available in the US yet. Epic Games is based in the US and since they have not been able to test and certify it, phones powered by it won’t support Fortnite.

#Fortnite on #RedmiNote7Pro

SD 675 is a new chip & isn't available in USA (Fortnite's primary market) yet. Hence, unlike some old processors, it hasn't been whitelisted.

Realme, the smartphone brand that started operations last year, recently launched its third-generation smartphone — Realme 3. Now, the company is all set to launch the Pro variant of the same — Realme 3 Pro on 22nd April in India.

Ahead of the phone’s launch next week, the company has now confirmed that the smartphone will be available for purchase exclusively through online market Flipkart, just like the Realme 3.

The teaser of the phone reads “Speed Awakens” which could be a hint towards the phone’s performance or the support for fast charging technology given that the phone is expected to come with support for VOOC 3.0 fast charging — a first for the company.

The upcoming smartphone has appeared on Geekbench and confirmed that it will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 octa-core processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM. However, we expect the phone to come with 4GB RAM model as well.

In one result, the Realme 3 Pro scored 1,590 points in the single-core test and 5,823 points in the multi-core test. In the other, the device scored 1,483 and 5,900 points in the single-core and multi-core tests respectively. Compared to other Snapdragon 710 devices, the Realme 3 Pro’s single-core score is low.

While not much is officially revealed by the company, but Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth recently shared an image and confirmed that the phone will be able to run Fortnite directly, and also claimed it to be the first in its price range.

More recently, Madhav Sheth also shared an image sample of the upcoming smartphone taken during the night time. It shows the Shenzhen Concert Hall in China and the image output is quite impressive and it retains a lot of detail and has good color reproduction.

Ahead of the Realme 3 Pro release which is scheduled for April 22, the company’s CEO has shared a nighttime camera sample of the device. This comes nearly a week after he shared daytime camera samples.

The picture which is of the Shenzhen Concert Hall in China is actually quite impressive. The level of detail is high and color reproduction is superb.

Realme has kept a tight lip about the phone’s camera specs or even its specs in general. What we know so far about the phone have been from leaks and benchmark results.

The Realme 3 Pro is said to feature the same main camera as the OnePlus 6T, the Sony IMX519. There should be at least two cameras on the back of the device. The phone will also come with a Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB of RAM and run Android Pie.

The Realme 3 Pro is shaping up to be a real contender to the Redmi Note 7 Pro. A new feature teased by Realme‘s CEO shows the Realme 3 Pro will come with a feature the Redmi Note 7 Pro or a lot of other phones for that matter do not have (yet).

Madhav Sheth took to Twitter to reveal that the Realme 3 Pro will be able to run Fortnite. He not only confirmed their upcoming phone will support the popular game but also dissed another “Pro” device that can’t run it. If you look at the picture, you will see that the “Pro” device is the Redmi Note 7 Pro.

How about playing #Fortnite on #realme3Pro? I believe #realme3Pro will be the 1st in its segment that can directly support it. Tried to play this game on some latest "Pro" devices but none of them could manage. When it comes to speed, chipset matters.

A leak revealed the Realme 3 Pro will come with the Sony IMX519 as the main primary camera. There is no info on the pixel count and even the number of cameras the phone will have.

Judging from the samples, all we can say is that the color reproduction is great. None of the photos is a portrait image, so we can’t grade how well it performs when it comes to background blurring.

The caption for the images reveal the pictures where taken at the Delhi Unversity Stadium and the CEO confirms that the launch will be taking place in a campus university.

The Realme 3 Pro is an anticipated device from Realme set to take on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The phone is scheduled to launch this month though the exact date is still unknown. Alleged specs of the phone have leaked and it seems there will soon be a new mid-range king in the Indian smartphone market.

The leak was first reported by Indiashopps and they say the info comes from unnamed sources and analysts.

First, the Realme 3 Pro will come with the Snapdragon 710 processor which powers phones like the Mi 8 SE and the Nokia 8.1. When compared to the Snapdragon 675 which powers the Redmi Note 7 Pro, the Snapdragon 710 trumps it only in graphics performance. The SDM710 is also more power efficient since it is built on a smaller node.

The Realme 3 Pro will come in three variants – 4GB RAM + 32GB, 4GB RAM + 64GB, and 6GB RAM + 64GB. All three models should support storage expansion. There will also be three color variants but they weren’t revealed.

Coming to cameras, the Realme 3 Pro will not join the Sony IMX586 train but use the Sony IMX519, the same primary sensor in the OnePlus 6T.

There is no info on battery capacity but the Realme 3 Pro will support VOOC 3.0 according to the source. The OPPO Reno is also said to feature this new fast-charging technology. It is entirely different from SuperVOOC which the Find X uses. Nevertheless, VOOC 3.0 is said to be 23.8% faster than VOOC 2.0.

The Realme 3 Pro will launch later this month and there are rumors it might even be the third week of April. If that is the case, Realme will likely announce the date soon.

There is no confirmation about the info above, so we advise you take it with a grain of salt.
