Chinese smartphone brand realme started recruiting realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) beta testers for the realme X3 and the realme X3 SuperZoom at the end of January. Now, four months later, these smartphones have finally started receiving stable Android 11 update.

The Android 11 update for realme smartphones comes as realme UI 2.0, which is based on OPPO ColorOS 11. Despite releasing Android 11 builds for eligible devices since late September 2020, realme has managed to deliver a stable update only for a select few handsets.

The realme X3 and the realme X3 SuperZoom are the latest phones to join the elite list of realme devices running Android 11 (realme UI 2.0).

According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the realme X3 / X3 SuperZoom Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 update arrives with build number RMX2081PU_11.C.06. Users need to be on build number RMX2081PU_11.A.53 to receive this update.

The update is being rolled out in batches, and therefore, it may take some time to reach every unit. Anyway, users can head over to Settings > Software Update to check whether their phone has received the OTA update.

Users not satisfied with the realme UI 2.0 update can roll back to Android 10-based realme UI. However, this process will wipe the handset’s internal storage.

The post realme X3, X3 SuperZoom Android 11 stable update released appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese smartphone maker realme unveiled realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 in late September 2020. Just like the previous iteration, the latest version of the brand’s mobile operating system is based on OPPO ColorOS, version 11 to be exact. So far, the company has only released stable update for a single device – realme X50 Pro. However, multiple phones have received beta builds. Now, six more handsets have been added to the beta program.

Every OEM has a different name for their beta program. Hence, realme calls its initiative ‘Early Access’. When the brand officially announced realme UI 2.0 in the second half of last year, it also revealed an update timeline for all the eligible smartphones.

The company has been recruiting beta teasers for its devices, as per the schedule. Therefore, following the timeline, it has now opened beta registrations for the below-listed phones as part of the January 2021 quota.

• realme X3
• realme X3 SuperZoom
• realme X2
• realme 6
• realme C12
• realme C15

Interested users of the above-mentioned handsets can head over to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version > Apply Now and submit details to enroll in the initiative. If they get selected, they will be receiving the beta update via OTA.

That said, for some reason, any user wants to downgrade to the stable channel, they can do it by downloading and installing the appropriate rollback file. However, it is worth noting that this process will format their smartphone’s internal storage and they won’t be able to rejoin the Early Access program.

With all that being said, we do not know when realme will begin to seed stable builds for these phones. Because even the previous batch is yet to receive the stable update.

Realme launched a lot of flagship killers in 2020. After Realme X3 SuperZoom and Realme X50 Pro 5G, the Chinese giant which became one of the most important smartphone manufacturers in just one year came up with the Realme X7 Pro. It is the successor of the Realme X2 Pro released in the second half of 2019 and, just like every Realme flagship, it carries a very interesting price tag. Here is a comparison between all the 2020 flagships released by the company in order to understand which one to choose depending on your actual needs.

Realme X7 Pro vs Realme X3 SuperZoom vs Realme X50 Pro 5G

Design

The Realme X50 Pro is my favourite one because it comes with premium materials and minimal design. It has a glass back and an aluminum frame, a small camera module and a very high screen-to-body ratio. But some may prefer the Realme X7 Pro, especially in the gradient color variants with the big company slogan on the rear side. I do not like it so much because of its bigger camera module, but the single punch hole (instead of the dual punch hole found on its rivals) makes its front panel sleeker. The Realme X3 SuperZoom is another beautiful handset, just choose according to your tastes.

Display

Realme X7 Pro has the most interesting display. Unlike the Realme X50 Pro 5G, it lacks the HDR10+ certification (or the company forgot to mention it). But on the other hand, it has a higher 120 Hz refresh rate (against the 90 Hz of the Realme X50 Pro 5G). Realme X3 SuperZoom has 120 Hz as well, but it sports an IPS panel and that is the reason why it loses the comparison not only against the Realme X7 Pro but even against the Realme X50 Pro 5G. While Realme X7 Pro has the most stunning panel, Realme X50 Pro 5G has the most compact one with a 6.44-inch diagonal.

Hardware/Software

Realme X50 Pro 5G packs the most powerful chipset and the highest amount of RAM in its most expensive configuration, as well as the most advanced internal storage. With the Realme 50 Pro 5G, you get the Snapdragon 865 SoC, up to 12 GB of RAM, and UFS 3.0 native storage. Realme X7 Pro packs the Dimensity 1000+ mobile platform by MediaTek which sits in the middle between the Snapdragon 855+ found on the Realme X3 SuperZoom and the Snapdragon 865 of the Realme X50 Pro 5G. However, Realme X3 SuperZoom is actually better if we talk about performance since it has a higher amount of RAM (12 GB vs up to 8 GB) and better storage (UFS 3.0 vs UFS 2.1). On the other hand, note that Realme X3 SuperZoom is the only one that does not support 5G. These three devices run the same software: Android 10 customized by Realme UI.

Camera

The best camera phone of this trio is the Realme X3 SuperZoom. The only difference between Realme X3 SuperZoom and Realme X50 Pro 5G is the periscope sensor: it provides up to 5x optical zoom and it supports OIS, while Realme X50 Pro 5G has a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom instead of the periscope lens. Even the front cameras of Realme X3 SuperZoom and Realme X50 Pro 5G are the same. Realme X7 Pro is inferior to both with its 64 quad-camera lacking a telephoto sensor. The phone even lacks the additional ultrawide sensor included in the dual front camera of its two rivals.

Battery

Realme X7 Pro should actually last more on a single charge thanks to its bigger 4500 mAh battery supporting 65W fast charging. Right after, we got the Realme X50 Pro 5G with a 4200 mAh unit. Due to its IPS display, Realme X3 SuperZoom has a higher energy consumption (if we exclude the usage of 5G networks).

Price

Realme X3 SuperZoom and Realme X50 Pro 5G are priced €499/$590 and €599/$710 respectively, in the global market. Realme X7 Pro is still not present in the global market. At the end of the day, there is no definitive winner for this comparison. Realme X3 SuperZoom has better cameras but the worse display, Realme X7 Pro has a great display but worse cameras, Realme X50 Pro 5G sits in the middle with a pretty nice display and cameras, but I would personally choose it because of its Snapdragon 865 chipset. However, I could make a definitive choice only after looking at the global price of the Realme X7 Pro.

The post Realme X7 Pro vs Realme X3 SuperZoom vs Realme X50 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The global version of the OPPO Reno4 Pro is official and it just hitten the Indian shelves. But it is a totally different device from the Reno4 Pro we saw in the Chinese market. That is why the previous comparisons we made which include the Reno4 Pro do not make any sense for the Indian market. If you are from India and from other markets in which the handset will be released, you might find a comparison between the Reno4 Pro and the other best value for money phones very useful. At least if you are looking for a new mid-ranger. That is why we decided to compare the OPPO Reno4 Pro with the OnePlus Nord and the Realme X3 SuperZoom.

Oppo Reno4 Pro vs OnePlus Nord vs Realme X3 SuperZoom

Design

At first glance, there is no doubt about the fact that with Oppo Reno4 Pro you get the most stunning design. First of all, it has a more impressive look, with a higher screen-to-body ratio and curved edges, as well as a single punch hole. Further, it is the thinnest and the most lightweight smartphone of this trio. Unfortunately, it does not come with a premium glass back but it is made of plastic. Both Realme X3 SuperZoom and OnePlus Nord have a glass back, despite they look less gorgeous in terms of aesthetics. Do you prefer having premium materials or a thinner and more lightweight phone?

Display

OnePlus Nord and Oppo Reno4 Pro offer the best displays and they are more or less at the same level when it comes to the display quality. They pack a Full HD+ AMOLED panel including a 90 Hz refresh rate and HDR10 (OnePlus Nord gets HDR10+). Realme X3 SuperZoom has an even higher refresh rate (120 Hz), but it comes with a classic IPS panel and the image quality is inferior. That is why we would go either for the Oppo Reno4 Pro or the OnePlus Nord.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware department belongs to the Realme X3 SuperZoom which is the only one to have flagship-class hardware. It is powered by the Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform (it was the best Qualcomm’s flagship SoC in 2019), it packs up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. But despite its flagship hardware, it lacks 5G connectivity. OnePlus Nord is less powerful, but it supports 5G. That is why some people may prefer it despite its inferior processor. Oppo Reno4 Pro lacks both 5G and a flagship chipset.

Camera

OnePlus Nord wins the camera comparison with a 48 MP quad-camera supporting OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 5 MP macro lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Further, it packs an ultrawide front camera including a 32 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide lens. It is the most complete camera department. But Oppo Reno4 Pro is still a pretty nice camera phone with its bright focal aperture and its Sony main sensor. Realme X3 SuperZoom has an inferior main sensor, but it has the best zoom capabilities thanks to the 8 MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom. Oppo Reno4 Pro and OnePlus Nord do not even have a telephoto sensor. Just like the OnePlus Nord, the Realme X3 SuperZoom has a 32 MP dual ultrawide front camera.

Battery

There should be only marginal differences between the battery life of these phones. Unfortunately, we had no chance to test all the batteries; judging from the specs on the paper, OnePlus Nord has higher potentialities. But Oppo Reno4 Pro has the fastest charging technology and it can fill its battery in just 36 minutes with its 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 technology.

Price

Oppo Reno4 Pro starts from Rs. 34,990 ($467) in India, the price of the Realme X3 SuperZoom is Rs. 27,999 ($374), and OnePlus Nord costs Rs. 24,999 ($333). The OnePlus Nord looks like the most complete device with its great cameras, 5G, good battery, and a very nice display. Realme X3 SuperZoom wins the performance comparison and it is definitely the best one for gamers. The Oppo Reno4 Pro sits in the middle with a better design and faster charging technology, as well as a good camera department.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom has launched in Europe and India but it is yet to make its way to China. While there is no official confirmation regarding when that will happen, there is a high chance the Chinese variant will have support for 5G and come with a different chipset.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom is powered by a Snapdragon 855+ processor. While there are phones powered with that chipset with support for 5G, Realme decided to not go down that route. However, if the company plans on keeping the affordable price tag of the phone while adding support for 5G, it may have to go for a less-powerful processor.

The Chinese leaker that goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo said in a post that Realme’s options for a 5G version of the Realme X3 SuperZoom are the Snapdragon 765G or Dimensity 800.

It remains to be seen if Realme will launch the phone in China in the first place, but if it does, it will be better to launch it with support for 5G. And to do that, a mid-range 5G chipset will be its best bet so it can keep the price tag low.

Just in case three flagship killers were not enough for 2020, Realme announced another one. After launching the Realme X3 SuperZoom in the global market, the Chinese giant launched the Realme X3 in India alongside its SuperZoom variant. In case you missed it, the X3 is an affordable version of the X3 SuperZoom which lacks a periscope sensor and sports comes in lower-end memory configurations. Besides these two handsets, in the same price range, you can find another flagship killer which was released in 2019 but is still very interesting due to its AMOLED display and the same hardware department as the X3 line-up. We are naturally talking about the Realme X2 Pro. A lot of people are wondering which one to buy, and this comparison will hopefully give them an answer.

Realme X3 vs Realme X3 SuperZoom vs Realme X2 Pro

Design

While Realme X3 and X3 SuperZoom have a more attractive look due to the logo placed in a normal position (unlike the X2 Pro) and a punch-hole display instead of a waterdrop notch, Realme X2 Pro actually comes with more premium materials. It sports a glass back and an aluminum frame just like the most expensive flagships out there. Do you prefer having a better look or better materials? You can let us know by using the comment box below the article.

Display

Despite it is an older handset, Realme X2 Pro actually offers a better display than Realme X3 and X3 SuperZoom. It has a lower refresh rate (90 Hz vs 120 Hz), but it is the only one with an AMOLED panel and it has the HDR10+ certification and full DCI P3 coverage. Realme X3 and X3 SuperZoom come with exactly the same IPS display offering a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

With Realme X2 Pro, X3, and X3 SuperZoom you get the same chipset: the amazing Snapdragon 855+ which was Qualcomm’s best mobile platform of 2019. Unfortunately, there is no 5G support, but these handsets feature an incredibly high level of performance. Realme X3 SuperZoom and X2 Pro are actually superior in terms of hardware because they offer up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, while the vanilla X3 stops at 8/128 GB. Note that Realme X2 Pro comes with Android 9 Pie out of the box (but you can update it to Android 10), while X3 SuperZoom ships with Android 10 and Realme UI.

Camera

The most advanced camera belongs to the Realme X3 SuperZoom. All of these devices feature the same midrange 64 MP sensor as the main sensor of the rear camera department, but the X3 SuperZoom also comes with a periscopic sensor boasting OIS and 5x optical zoom. Instead, Realme X3 and X2 Pro have a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. Realme X3 SuperZoom also wins the front camera comparison as it sports an ultrawide dual front camera with 32 + 8 MP sensors.

Battery

Since they have a bigger battery, Realme X3 and X3 SuperZoom are able to last more than X2 Pro on a single charge in a lot of scenarios. But given that their displays are more energy-demanding, it is just a minimum margin. On the other hand, Realme X2 Pro offers a way faster charging technology (50W vs 30W) and it needs just 35 minutes to fully charge.

Price

Realme X3 and X3 SuperZoom are priced $330/€294 and $370/€330 in India, respectively. Realme X2 Pro starts from almost $400/€356. Realme X3 provides the highest value for money but it is inferior to its rivals. The SuperZoom has the best cameras, while Realme X2 Pro has the best display. Which one would you pick?

However, the first official tweet on the Realme X3 series that was rolled out earlier this week only confirmed the arrival of the Realme X3. Today’s tweet from Sheth confirms that the country will also receive Realme X3 SuperZoom.

The X you are waiting for is here!
We are not only bringing you 60X Super Zoom but also bringing Super Speed with our new flagship #realmeX3 & #realmeX3SuperZoom.

The exact specs of the Realme X3 phone are not known yet. However, it is believed that the Realme X3 will be coming with specs similar to the Realme X3 SuperZoom. However, the cameras of the Realme X3 is unlikely to feature zoom capabilities that are available on the SuperZoom edition.

It features a 32-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) dual selfie camera system. The backside of the SuperZoom phone has a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel (periscope telephoto) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) quad-camera system.

It is no news that the Realme X3 SuperZoom will be launching in India but the date has not yet been officially released. However, we do not have to wait until the official announcement.

The Indian blog, 91Mobiles, has revealed that the Realme X3 SuperZoom will be announced on June 26. The info is reported to have come from retail sources.

The launch date is exactly a month after its debut in Europe. There is no mention of other devices launching alongside but there is a chance there will be at least one other phone.

Another product that may launch at the event is the Realme Buds Q. The TWS earbuds already launched in Europe and China last month, and have been confirmed to arrive in India with a price tag under INR 2000 (~$26). The Realme X3 SuperZoom launch event will be the perfect chance to announce the earbuds.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom has a price tag of €499 (~INR 42,738) in Europe. While India usually gets a lower price tag for a lot of phones, we expect it to be priced under INR 40,000 when it launches. It may even launch for significantly less if it comes with a different processor as hinted by the company’s CMO.

The phone has a 6.6-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its screen has a punch hole for two selfie cameras – a 32MP + 8MP ultrawide angle camera. There is a Snapdragon 855+ processor under the hood along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom also has 64MP quad cameras with 5x optical zoom and 60x digital zoom. It has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port. Its battery capacity is 4200mAh and there is support for 30W fast wired charging. Realme ships it with Android 10 out of the box.

The post Realme X3 SuperZoom to launch on June 26 in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Realme X3 SuperZoom vs Realme X2 Pro vs Realme X50 Pro Player

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.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom launched in Europe last month. The phone stands out from its competitors with its features which include a Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and 60x SuperZoom mode; all of the above and more for just €499.

Realme is expected to announce the phone in India soon alongside two other phones called the Realme X3 and the Realme X3 Pro. However, a tweet from Francis Wang, the CMO of Realme India, hints at the Realme X3 SuperZoom arriving with a different chipset in the country.

In a quoted response to a tweet that said the Realme X3 SuperZoom could launch in India soon, the company executive had asked “How soon?“ and “Which processor to use?”. We want to believe that this hints at Realme announcing the phone with a different chipset from the one in the version sold in Europe.

How soon
Which Processor to use? https://t.co/5cDE1Z1o7l

— Francis Wang (@FrancisRealme) June 4, 2020

The responses under the tweet include the Snapdragon 765 and Snapdragon 765G as well as the Snapdragon 855+ in the European version. Time will tell which of the aforementioned processors will come bundled with the phone in India.

Realme is yet to announce a launch date for the Realme X3 series in India but there is a possibility it will arrive in the country this month.

The post Realme X3 SuperZoom may arrive in India with a different processor appeared first on Gizmochina.

Recently, Realme released an important smartphone in the affordable flagship segment – the Realme X3 Superzoom. Probably from its name you’ve already guessed what strength it holds. Yes, the phone is called SuperZoom because it has incredible zooming capability. 

We have seen how Realme has successfully launched special smartphones with incredible pricing. And the X3 Superzoom is no exception. Usually, smartphones equipped with super camera combinations supporting 5x optical zoom are pretty expensive but the new Realme model stands out from its competition.

While it seemed that high resolution zooming cameras would be exclusive to expensive flagships, the Realme X3 SuperZoom tries to change this trend by bringing it to the upper mid-range segment.

We have already posted the Realme X3 SuperZoom hands on a few days back but now let’s take a closer look at the device and its cameras. In this X3 SuperZoom camera review, we try to check whether the powerful cameras do justice to its specs in real-life performance. 

Realme X3 SuperZoom Display

Before talking about its camera, let’s look at its display. We think it’s unfair to the phone if we don’t take about its 120Hz refresh rate, even if it’s not on the first page of Realme official advertisement. But it’s an LCD display which doesn’t allow to have an in-screen fingerprint reader — so you have to use a side-mounted fingerprint-enabled power button. The pixel arrangement is quite similar to what we’ve seen on the other 120Hz LCD display. Compared to most mid-rangers that feature a 60Hz display, the X3 superzoom offers much better fluidity.

Realme X3 SuperZoom Camera Review

As for its camera, the X3 Superzoom features a 64MP main camera with a Samsung GW1 sensor which was announced at the end of last year. Another highlight is the top 8MP telephoto camera. It supports up to 5x Optical zooming and 60x hybrid zooming. To guarantee its stability, the telephoto camera has OIS anti-shake. The other two cameras are an 8MP wide-angle shooter and a 2MP macro camera.

Let’s check out whether this combination works well in real life.

First, let’s see some samples from the primary camera. The original high-resolution sensor shot samples with pretty good detail and clarity. And under good light conditions, the samples had excellent exposure and white balance. An interesting feature for the Realme camera app is its AI color dazzle mode. It’s similar to the vivid color mode on other phones. But at the same time, the Realme model could adjust the colors in a smarter way of AI recognition. The color reproduction is lively with higher saturation than the originals.

But a problem is that though the photos shot by the main camera had impressive contrast, the dynamic range of the photos didn’t satisfy us as the dark areas lost some detail and had some noise.

And then we try to see how it performs in night scenes. From the samples, we could see significant brightness improvement and the exposure balance between brightness and shadow. In the aspect of noise reduction, it managed to smoothen the dark scenes in the images at the software level. But if you look closer, we could see some blurring marks left by software tuning.

Now let’s talk about the samples shot by the wide-angle camera. Although the 8MP resolution now is not the best option for a smartphone’s wide-angle camera, the wide-angle samples of the Realme X3 Superzoom still have decent colors and good anti-distortion. And the X3 also had the same problem on the wide-angle camera as most phones — it didn’t do well on removing color fringing in the image.

And let’s move to another camera, the macro camera. Well, it’s almost one of the standard setups for Realme’s models. And as usual, the Realme Macro samples maintained a pretty good production in really close shooting distance.

There are a few smartphones that have 5x optical zoom but this model is the first mid-ranger that actually features 60x digital zoom capability. The Realme X3 SuperZoom covered almost the same shooting range as the Huawei’s latest P40 Pro flagship – from 0.6x  to 5x optical zoom, and even longer digital zoom as well.

We also compared it with the P40 Pro’s zooming samples. For the 5x zoom option, although the X3 Superzoom samples have lower resolution than Huawei’s samples, Realme’s zooming samples have pretty good color representation and better color contrast. When we zoom up to 10x, the resolution strength of the Huawei’s model is more significant. But here we have to praise the Realme X3 Superzoom for the OIS anti-shaking, which allowed us to shoot the clear zoomed-in photos with my hand.

You can get the original camera samples from this drive link.

It’s clear that Realme X3 Superzoom’s biggest strength is its telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom – unseen on smartphones in its price range. So we had to check how good the Realme X3 Superzoom camera was, especially when compared to the best in the market – the Huawei P40 Pro.

The samples showed us that the Realme model did not fall very behind in quality. The cameras are not a gimmick and perform really well for a device in its price range. 

So if you want an affordable smartphone with powerful zooming capability, the Realme X3 SuperZoom won’t disappoint you!

Recently, the model numbers of the three Realme X3 phones were spotted in the list of Google Play supported devices. The Realme X3 SuperZoom that debuted in China last month has an RMX2086 model number. The RMX2081 and RMX2085 seemingly belongs to the Realme X3 and Realme X3 Pro smartphones. These models have also received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) which indicates that the Realme X3 series could be coming soon to India. The Google Play Console listing of the Realme X3 surfaced yesterday to reveal some of its key specs. Popular tipster Mukul Sharma took to Weibo to share the key specifications of the Realme X3 smartphone.

According to Sharma, the Realme X3 borrows most of its specs from the Realme X3 SuperZoom smartphone. His leak states that the Realme X3 has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel that produces a Full HD+ resolution and carries support 120Hz refresh rate. The front and backside of the phone seems to be protected by Gorilla Glass 5 panels.

The Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform that fuels the X3 SuperZoom phone also powers the vanilla X3. The handset is expected to arrive in RAM options like 6 GB, 8 GB and 12 GB. It could be available in storage variants like 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB.

The pill-shaped cutout on the screen of Realme X3 will house two selfie cameras. The setup includes a 16-megapixel main lens and an 8-megapixel secondary shooter. The backside of the Realme X3 has a quad-camera setup that includes a 64-megapixel main camera by Samsung, an ultrawide lens of 8-megapixel, a 12 or 13-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom support and a 2-megapixel macro shooter.

The leak has no information on the pricing of the Realme X3 series for India. The Chinese firm may launch the X3 phones at some point in this month.

Realme recently launched the first device in the X3 series dubbed as Realme X3 SuperZoom in Europe. This handset is also available in Thailand and is now making its way to Indonesia. Amidst this, two other models in the series have been spotted on Google Play supported devices list and India’s BIS certification. These handsets could be the regular Realme X3 and Regular X3 Pro.

1 of 2

Realme is known for launching successors to its devices in four to six months. The Realme X first debuted in May 2019 and was soon followed by Realme X2 and X2 Pro in September and October of the same year. Then, after a year from the launch of the first device in the series, the brand launched Realme X3 SuperZoom.

Just like the previous handsets in the series, the third generation is also expected to get other models. The upcoming next two phones in the Realme X3 series have been recently spotted by MySmartPrice on Google Play supported devices list and BIS certification suggesting them to launch in India soon.

Unfortunately, nothing is known about these phones except for their model numbers. First of all, RMX2086 is the already official Realme X3 SuperZoom. That leaves RMX2081 and RMX2085 to be Realme X3 and Realme X3 Pro respectively.

Anyway, we would like to take this information with a pinch of salt as the website which spotted it mentions the findings as speculation.

Realme announced its camera-centric upper mid-range smartphone, the Realme X3 SuperZoom this week in Europe. The phone’s biggest highlight is its 60x zoom camera, rivaling the likes of Huawei in terms of its maximum zooming capability. While the focus is on its camera department, the Realme X3 SuperZoom is also a pretty good smartphone in terms of other hardware. It comes with a year-old Snapdragon 855+ processor, which by the way, is still quite powerful for a 2020 smartphone and up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. In case you are wondering, given the older chipset, the Realme X3 SuperZoom DOES NOT support 5G. So the company has made it clear that this phone is for people looking for high value for money, instead of the latest technology.

In terms of design, the Realme X3 SuperZoom is very similar to the Realme X50 Pro 5G that was announced a few months back in China. This includes a matte finish back and a vertically arranged rear camera setup. Upfront, you also get a dual-camera selfie setup, similar to the X50 Pro 5G.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom comes with a dense plastic frame with a glass back. We’ve got the Arctic White with us today and the silverish-color gives the phone a very elegant look. The matte-like finish also ensures that the back is not a fingerprint magnet.

It is also worth adding that the phone has a 120Hz IPS LCD display and NOT AMOLED. So there’s no in-screen fingerprint sensor. However, you get a super-fast fingerprint sensor on the right side – which also doubles as the power button. Coming to the bottom of the phone, you have a Type-C port at the center, a single speaker on one side, and a dual nano-SIM slot on the other.

The rear camera, which protrudes a bit from the body, consists of four cameras – in line with other Realme higher-end devices. But what makes the Realme X3 SuperZoom special is its 8MP f/3.4 telephoto camera with OIS that supports 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. There’s a 64MP high-resolution primary camera in this setup along with another 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 2MP macro camera. As for the front camera, you get a large 32MP primary shooter paired with an 8MP wide-angle shooter for selfies.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom comes with the same 4200mAh battery size as the X50 Pro 5G, however, it only supports 30W fast charging.

Realme X3 Superzoom hands on

The 6.6-inch 120Hz IPS LCD looked pretty bright and responsive in our first impressions. The UI and animations were superfluid, thanks to the high refresh rate, and overall, the phone was as quick as any other smartphone launched this year. The 9mm body and 200+ gram weight did make it a bit bulky to use. But the size is very similar to most top-end flagships available in 2020.

Overall, the Realme X3 SuperZoom feels like a strong option in its €499 price segment. We’ll be checking out the X3 SuperZoom’s camera in detail in our upcoming article. So stay tuned for that.

Flagship killers are popping up like mushrooms during the last period, especially thanks to Xiaomi and Realme. After announcing the Realme X50 Pro Player in China, the former OPPO’s sub-brand officially launched the Realme X3 SuperZoom in the global market. Given its incredibly high value for money (it is currently one of the cheapest flagships), we decided to compare it with the other affordable flagships which catalyzed the attention of tech-addicted all around the world. If you need the flagship with the highest performance released in 2020 in the global market, you must undoubtedly consider the POCO F2 Pro and the Realme X50 Pro. They are the best ones under the €599 threshold if we talk about hardware and performance. That is why they are the handsets we chose for this comparison.

Realme X3 SuperZoom vs Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro vs Realme X50 Pro

Design

If you mind about having a real full screen experience with no interruptions, then you should give a chance to the POCO F2 Pro which comes with no holes nor notch on its screen, yet it provides very narrow bezels thanks to a motorized pop-up camera. But if you do not mind about having a dual punch-hole display, Realme X50 Pro 5G offers a more minimalistic glass back thanks to a less invasive camera module, as well as more compact dimensions. All the handsets in this trio come with a glass back and an aluminum frame.

Display

Despite Realme X3 SuperZoom offers a higher 120 Hz refresh rate instead of 90 Hz, Realme X50 Pro is the winner of the display comparison. Unlike the Realme X3 SuperZoom, it sports an AMOLED panel which, besides providing a good 90 Hz refresh rate, is also HDR10+ compliant. POCO F2 Pro has an AMOLED panel too (and even the widest display), but unfortunately, it lacks a high refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

Realme X3 SuperZoom packs a flagship SoC, but not the best one. The POCO F2 Pro and the Realme X50 Pro are superior with their Snapdragon 865 (instead of the 2019 Snapdragon 855+ found on the X3) and they support 5G connectivity in both sub 6 GHz frequencies and mmWave, while the Realme X3 SuperZoom does not support 5G at all. If you look at the most expensive version of the POCO F2 Pro and Realme X50 Pro, you can see that the former has a faster UFS 3.1 internal storage, while the latter has a higher amount of RAM (up to 12 GB). In each case you get Android 10 out of the box and a highly-customized UI.

Camera

Despite its inferior hardware, Realme X3 SuperZoom is the most interesting handset if we talk about cameras. It has a better telephoto sensor than Realme X50 Pro which supports up to 5x optical zoom and OIS. Realme X50 Pro comes with a telephoto lens as well, but it comes with 2x optical zoom and it lacks OIS. Both feature an ultrawide dual selfie camera with 32 and 8 MP resolutions. On the paper, POCO F2 Pro has an inferior camera department, but it is the only to support 8K video recording (max 30 fps unless you switch to 4K).

Battery

POCO F2 Pro provides the longest battery life thanks to its bigger 4700 mAh unit and a standard refresh rate. On the other hand, Realme X50 Pro has the fastest charging speeds thanks to the 65W Super Dart Charge technology (from 0 to 100 percent in just 35 minutes).

Price

POCO F2 Pro costs either €499/$549 or €599/$659 globally (depending on the country), in its base variant (6/128 GB). Realme X50 Pro 5G starts from €599/$659 (8/128 GB), while Realme X3 SuperZoom is priced €499/$549 (12/256 GB!). Realme X50 Pro wins the overall comparison due to its great cameras, faster charging, amazing display. POCO F2 Pro offers a bigger battery but its standard refresh rate may not be the best for a lot of gamers and power users. Realme X2 Pro lacks 5G, but it has definitely the highest value for money (where POCO F2 Pro costs €599, naturally) and the most interesting cameras.

A day after launching its first smart TV and smartwatch, a smartphone, and a bunch of other lifestyle products in China and India, Realme has made its way to Europe to announce a brand new phone called the Realme X3 SuperZoom.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom is an affordable flagship phone; yes, it is a flagship. With a price tag of €499, Realme has made some tradeoffs to arrive at the price. Even with the tradeoffs, it still offers a lot for its price.

Realme X3 SuperZoom Design

The design of the phone is not one we haven’t seen before. It has a double punch-hole in the top left corner of the screen and a bit of bezel at the bottom. The back is home to quad rear cameras arranged vertically in the same housing. The back is covered in 3D quad-curved glass with an anti-glare and anti-fingerprint finish.

Buyers will be able to pick up the phone in Arctic White and Glacier Blue.

Realme X3 SuperZoom Specifications

The Realme X3 SuperZoom has a 6.6-inch 2400 x 1080 screen with a 120Hz refresh rate for an ultrasmooth experience. The display is an LCD panel with a 90.5% screen-to-body ratio and it is covered with Gorilla Glass 5.

Apart from going with an LCD panel for the screen, another area where Realme has been able to cut the cost of production is by going with a Snapdragon 855+ processor rather than the more expensive, and of course, more-powerful Snapdragon 865.

The Snapdragon 855+ is a more than capable chipset and will handle anything you throw at it. You also get 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. The official spec sheet says there is an 8GB RAM + 128GB version. However, its price tag wasn’t revealed.

Coming to cameras, the Realme X3 SuperZoom is a beast. It has four rear cameras that include a Samsung GW1 64MP f/1.8 primary camera, an 8MP periscope lens with 5X optical zoom and optical image stabilization, an 8MP f/2.3 ultrawide angle camera with a 119° field of view; and a 2MP 4CM macro camera.

The phone has a 60x SuperZoom mode that helps you get closer to objects. There is a starry mode too for taking long-exposure shots of the stars as well as UIS video stabilization, UIS Max Video Stabilization, Super Nightscape 4.0, and many more.

The front cameras are a 32MP Sony IMX616 sensor and it is paired with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera for ultrawide angle selfies.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom packs a 4200mAh battery with support for 30W Dart Charge via USB Type-C. It has liquid cooling to keep the phone from overheating when playing games. It runs Android 10 with Realme UI out of the box with features such as Game Space and Game Assistant. There is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual SIM support, Hi-res Audio, and Dolby Atmos. Sadly, there is no audio jack.

The source of the leak is the German Tech News site, Winfuture.de. Based on the specs, one will see Realme has cut corners in more areas than one for the Realme X3 SuperZoom.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom will have a 6.6-inch display with a double punch hole at the top left corner just like that of the Realme X50 5G. However, the FHD+ display doesn’t have a high refresh rate, not even 90Hz like that of the Realme 6 Pro which has the same screen size and design.

It has already been officially confirmed that the phone will have a Snapdragon 855+ processor. The model that will be sold in Europe will have 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. There is no MicroSD card slot for storage expansion.

The phone is called the Realme X3 SuperZoom for a reason and that is because of its cameras which provide up to 60x hybrid zoom. The primary rear camera is a 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor. There is an 8MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and OIS. The quad-camera setup is completed with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera and a 2MP macro camera. You can check out some camera samples here.

For the dual selfie cameras, the Realme X3 SuperZoom will come with a 32MP main sensor and an 8MP secondary camera for capturing depth details. This setup is a bit unusual since other Realme phones with a similar setup have an ultrawide lens for the secondary camera.

There is a 4200mAh battery inside the phone along with support for 65W SuperDart fast charging. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on the right while the SIM tray is at the bottom. Sadly, it ditches the audio jack which would have been an appreciated feature.

The Realme X3 SuperZoom will run Android 10 with Realme UI on top. Its weight is revealed to be 195 grams and it measures 8.6 millimeters in thickness.

When it launches, it will be available in gradient white and gradient blue with a price tag of €499. Do you think this price tag can steer customers away from the OnePlus 8 which sells for €599 for the 8GB+128GB version? Let us know in the comment box.

Realme X3 Superzoom has been in the news for quite some time now. The latest news is that the product will be launched in Europe on May 26. As usual, Realme Europe has started teasing the features of the X3 SuperZoom.

As the moniker suggests the Realme X3 SuperZoom features a periscope camera. The camera is capable of 60x digital zoom and 5x optical zoom. The samples showcase the zoom capability of the device. The three samples include one snapped at 1x zoom, a second one at 5x zoom and a third sample going up to 60x zoom.

We find the 5x zoom sample pretty impressive but the 60x zoom sample looks quite grainy with some noise. But then, it is 60x zoom and we don’t expect anything spectacular at that zoom level.

In terms of the design, the Realme X3 SuperZoom looks like the X50. It packs a Quad camera setup at the rear stacked vertically at the top left corner of the rear panel. The first sensor is an 8-megapixel periscope lens said to be capable of 60x digital zoom and 5x optical zoom. The setup also includes a 64-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel macro lens.

In other aspects, the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 855+ chipset and sports a 6.6-inch LCD FHD+ display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. There is a 32MP selfie camera onboard and side-mounted camera. It also crams a 4200mAh battery under the hood with support for 30W Dart flash charge.
