realme X3 SuperZoom, analysis with price, equipment and opinion

So he decided to actually announce his new thing X3 super zoom One might think that this is a phone that primarily excels in its photo department. After all, he spent a lot of time in his presentation talking about his camera system, showing examples of what he perro do with his 5x zoom, and he even has a last name that indicates his skills in this sense. But the reality is very different.

After being able to spend about a week with the new Realme terminal, I have to say this The camera receded into the background from the first moment I started using it. Not because of the weakness of the photo system, but because it’s the rest of the elements that really make the device Realme X3 Superzoom special purpose, but more important: that it arrives at the most appropriate time.

The best of Realme X3 Superzoom

Specifications price ratio

Thank you to 5G and Snapdragon 865, the affordable high-end will be phased out soon. Or so we thought.

Instead of following in the footsteps of other manufacturers and equipping their new phone with Qualcomm’s most powerful and expensive processor to date, they actually made the choice go another waywhich is to introduce the Last generation Snapdragon 855+ chip in this new model. The result? A cell phone Extremely strongprobably won’t be up to any task for years to come, and even then keep a lower price with the other high-end models on the market.

So much so that even after the recent review of the Realme X50 Pro, the current flagship of the Chinese company, I would have my doubts When it comes to choosing one or the other, well I think the progress of the more expensive model doesn’t justify the 100 euro surcharge regarding this version.

In fact, there are articles in which This model is even better than the X50. This has been the case for your screen since the jump High-quality IPS screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz It’s a major improvement over the Realme X50 Pro’s center panel, which suffered from certain inconsistencies in terms of color and lack of lighting uniformity.

And it’s not far behind in other parts either: its optics are just as “premium” as the higher-priced model, thanks to its matte-finish glass back that feels particularly good in the hand — in this case, yes, the edges are plastic– ; or a panel surrounded by reduced borders and a double screen hole that gives it a modern look.

As for the rest of the specifications, we don’t find big differences: it’s possible to choose between several storage configurations, with up to 256 GB of internal storage and 12 GB of RAM, and the battery lasts those same capacity 4,200 miliamperio-horaAlthough the fast charging system reduces its maximum supported power to 30W, less than half of the X50 series model.

performance and overall experience

Adding the Snapdragon 855+ with 6, 8 or up to 12GB LPDDR4x RAM to this X3 Superzoom high-quality with all the law. And of course that is reflected in its performance.

The operation of the phone is exquisite in all circumstances and makes it clear that the Snapdragon 855+ is still one great processorwhich perro offer more than the vast majority of device users will use.

That helps too the custom layer of realme UI Keep updating to provide better and better experience. It’s far from one of our favorite espectáculos today, but there’s no denying it its performance is good, and it moves fast enough without being an obstacle. At least not for this reason.

Another detail that adds points in the experience area with the terminal is his fingerprint reader, capacitive and is located on the right side of the terminal housing. It’s a feeler faster and more accurateand in my opinion in a much more comfortable position than in the case of the realme X50 Pro.

As for its independence The results are afín to what we were able to find with the X50 Pro. That means: it is not difficult to reach the full day of use, with approx six hours of screen time to use the device more or less – although as always this will change due to many different factors. Whatever the case, fast charging ensures we cánido be at 100% again in less than 50 minutes if the situation requires it.

your screen

The screen on the original X50 Pro left me with a slightly sour taste: on the one hand, a 90Hz refresh rate screen is always something to be thankful for; On the other hand, the quality of the panel left a lot to be desired in some aspects.

So I’m very happy to say that The Realme X3 Pro’s screen is finally up to the task of cell phone for its reach. It’s an IPS panel, and with that comes some of the benefits of OLED panels along the way – agregado there are still inconsistencies in panel illumination, albeit to a lesser extent – -. However, the jump to 120 Hz it transitions into an even more intense soft feel, if possible added to a good color rendering –when using the “natural” screen mode, not the default mode — more than acceptable touch latency thanks to the improved sample rate and good brightness levels.

With that in mind, I perro only find a couple of downsides that I think should be mentioned: The first is the glass that covers the panel espectáculos more than other models, which makes it a little more difficult to use outdoors; Secondly, Viewing angles are not as high as par from other more expensive devices, and the differences in brightness and white cómputo are noticeable.

Be that as it may, it cannot be denied that we stand before him Good quality boardThe 120 Hz feels great and is undoubtedly one of the jewels in the crown of the new realistic terminal This one.

The worst of the Realme X3 Superzoom

Realme interfaz

That Realme UI is fast level and works properly it does not orinan that it is free from defects. In fact, they are the problems that perro resurface complain about the experience with the device.

Fortunately, this time he breaks his habit, up to four to integrate different web browsers on his phone, and “only” contains Trabaja and Google chrome. Instead, stay present for the rest bloatware the company’s classic — which I think some users will find useful — including the tools to “tweak” the system, the Office suite Office Suite or Fb services.

Another detail that I think should be mentioned in this regard is Realme’s decision not to limit itself to following the lines of “depósito” Android in terms of that Organize the system settings menu. Thanks to the integrated search engine, however, this is less of a problem. However, cleaning up/reorganizing the settings aplicación in future versions of a realistic UI wouldn’t hurt.

Stability isn’t this custom tier’s forte either. Its amazing speed and meticulous animation are often left in the background Application closed more often than we would like, which is particularly surprising because they mainly affect the applications of the field itself, such as the camera aplicación.

Ultimately though Programa is not one of the many virtues of the Realme X3, I fear that its shortcomings will not be serious enough to turn those already used back into layers far from “estándar” Android.

Such are the cameras of the real X3 Superzoom

With this new model, I’m really going for one again classic recipe in relation to the photographic system. On the back we see a whole of it four different camerasin a system still run by one Samsung GW1 sensor with 64 megapixel resolution like the one already present in the Realme X50 Pro It is accompanied by an “ultra wide” 8 mega-pixel and a “macro” of 2 mega-pixel.

The fourth sensor is the great novelty of this device: it is a “telephoto lens” based on a periscope mechanism that gives the device the ability Take pictures with 5x optical zoomand that in combination with the rest of the sensors on the ability of the option Take photos with up to 60x digital zoom.

his face, 16 megapixel camera it advances the desired system autofotos and vídeo calls with attached secondary sensor, 8 megapixelswhich acts as an ultra-wide-angle lens and cánido capture images with a field of view of up to 102º.

Day mode, portrait and night mode

Like the original X50 are the results that the camera of this X3 SuperZoom is able to offer very good quality. The high resolution of the main sensor leads to images with a good level of detail and in contrast to other manufacturers I’m really counting on that Looks in which contrast and natural colors are the protagonists.

It is also very good experience with the “tele”, which allows you to capture high-quality footage as long as you escoge to stay under the 10x limit. In this area, the shots are afín to those we were able to obtain with the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and its “space zoom”. And as with the Korean model, quality starts to drop once it exceeds 10x magnification, until it hits the limit – in this case 60x magnification – leading to arrests. too vague and ultimately often useless. Luckily, the fact that this sensor has an optical stabilizer makes it easier to capture distant scenes.

The other two sensors are by far the worst in the photo system. The “Ultra Wide” leaves a lot to be desired in terms of color rendition, focus, detail and light capture; For its part, the macro lens, like other phones that paquete such low-resolution sensors, doesn’t add much to the experience.

Front camera

The front cameras let us a bittersweet feeling. the main sensor it brings a good result to the day, but the wide angle suffers a lot when the scene gets complicated. In both cases as well We will find problems if we try autofotos nights
