Realme X3 SuperZoom Review

The Realme X3 SuperZoom boasts of a flagship-level processor and telephoto camera system, all at a reasonable price. But is it worth buying? Read our review to find out.

Realme has by and by increased current standards for what customers ought to anticipate from a mid-extend premium cell phone with its new X3 and X3 SuperZoom gadgets. With costs beginning at just Rs. 24,999 for the Realme X3 and Rs. 27,999 for the Realme X3 SuperZoom, you can expect a first in class 4G SoC, a quick 120Hz showcase, and top notch optics. Today we'll be looking at the X3 SuperZoom, whose feature include is an amazing looking fax camera that is fit for 5x optical and 60x crossover zoom. Periscope-style camera frameworks have so far been utilized in progressively costly Android telephones, however with the X3 SuperZoom, Realme is carrying this tech to a more extensive crowd. 

Basically taking a gander at the details and value, the Realme X3 SuperZoom appears to be good to go to be an incredible all-rounder. Would it be a good idea for you to get it as opposed to other comparatively valued contributions, for example, the Realme X2 Pro (Review) or the OnePlus 7T (Review)? 

Realme X3 SuperZoom cameras: Great in light 

The primary contrast between the Realme X3 and the SuperZoom model is the fax camera. The X3 SuperZoom highlights a 8-megapixel periscope-style camera, which permits it to accomplish a guaranteed 5x optical zoom. This camera additionally has a f/3.4 gap and optical adjustment. Different cameras incorporate an essential one with a 64-megapixel Samsung GW1 sensor, a 8-megapixel wide-edge camera, and a 2-megapixel large scale camera. For selfies, you get two cameras inserted in the presentation, a primary 32-megapixel camera with a Sony IMX616 sensor and a f/2.5 gap, and a 8-megapixel wide-point camera with a f/2.2 opening. 

The camera application offers catches in the viewfinder to hop to zoom levels, for example, 2x, 5x, and 10x. The zoom catches change to a vertical slider in the event that you long-press them, giving you increasingly granular zoom control. You can push the slider as far as possible up to 60x, and this is even conceivable in Night mode. The X3 SuperZoom will carefully amplify a scene till about 4.9x, after which, it changes to the fax camera right to 60x. 

Despite the fact that you get 5x amplification, the genuine optical zoom level is by all accounts about 2.1x, which I got by partitioning the central lengths of the fundamental and fax cameras. Most phonemakers never uncover genuine optical zoom esteems, as these are frequently a ton lower than publicized numbers, which likely doesn't make for excellent showcasing. 

Normally, I needed to look at picture quality delivered by the Realme X3 SuperZoom against probably the best cell phones I could get my hands on — the OnePlus 8 Pro (Review) and the Samsung Galaxy S20+ (Review). At 5x zoom, the picture quality from the X3 SuperZoom is noteworthy. This telephone figured out how to catch preferable subtleties over the 8 Pro and Galaxy S20+, which says a great deal. Moving to 10x amplification, the Galaxy S20+ made up for lost time yet the X3 SuperZoom kept on creating a perfect picture with great subtleties, prodding past the OnePlus 8 Pro. 

At 20x zoom, we see that the Galaxy S20+ has the cleanest picture, yet because of forceful de-noising, it likewise straightens most surfaces. The OnePlus 8 Pro needs detail over clamor, which is the reason the gave looks somewhat grainy yet edges look more honed. The shot taken with the X3 SuperZoom falls some place in the middle of, as it makes an average showing of cleaning commotion yet additionally pulverizes subtleties in the shadows. 

At 30x, the nature of photographs taken by every one of the three telephones gets ugly, however the 8 Pro oversees somewhat better subtleties. The X3 SuperZoom can prop up till 60x, and as should be obvious, picture quality endures a considerable amount. In any case, considering the value distinction between the X3 SuperZoom and the others, it's a noteworthy exhibition by and large. 

In low light, the fax camera catches helpless subtleties, except if you utilize one of the Night modes. The Realme X3 SuperZoom highlights Nightscape 4.0, which incorporates extra low-light shooting modes called Pro Nightscape and Starry. The previous fundamentally gives you manual controls and just works with the principle camera, while the last is supposed to have the option to catch stars and groups of stars in the sky. I couldn't catch any stars because of an unendingly shady rainstorm sky, however I trust it will work, given appropriate conditions. Brilliant mode works with the primary and fax cameras. 

Tripod mode lets the shade remain open longer to permit all the more light to enter the sensor, however it's best in the event that you have the telephone either leaning still against something or on a tripod. This is another convenient component, and I figured out how to catch some gorgeous scenes at sunset utilizing this. It very well may be utilized with the fundamental, wide-edge and fax cameras. 

Night mode works for the wide-point camera as well, which assists catch with bettering subtleties. The fundamental camera, shockingly, didn't oversee generally excellent quality low-light pictures without Night mode. In auto mode, surfaces commonly looked hazy and grainy, and edges were inadequately characterized. Night mode helped fix this yet there's still a lot of extension for development. 

The principle sensor truly sparkles when shooting during the day. Subtleties and hues are commonly acceptable and even the wide-point camera figures out how to keep up. Close-up shots in sunlight look great as well, with a lot of subtleties and energetic hues. The full scale camera works sufficiently well, gave there's a decent measure of light around. Indeed, even without a committed profundity sensor, picture shots looked great, with genuinely precise edge recognition. 

The X3 SuperZoom catches selfies at the full 32-megapixel goals, rather than utilizing pixel binning for a littler record size. Subtleties are acceptable when shooting in light, despite the fact that HDR can be all in or all out. The wide-point camera is valuable and I saw HDR shots as more reliable with this sensor. Picture subtleties are commonly frail in low light, however you can utilize Night mode for both selfie cameras, which helps improving photographs. 

Presently, we should investigate video. Sadly, Realme has excluded a Pro video mode, however the X3 SuperZoom can shoot up to 4K at 60fps. You can switch between the primary, wide-point, and fax cameras, if you're taking shots at 1080p. At 4K, just the essential camera is utilized. Hues look very misrepresented at 4K, yet less at 1080p. 

Adjustment is acceptable during the day, however in low light, video is grainy and your strides can cause irritating shakes in the video. There's a switch for Ultra Steady video, which helps adjustment for the fundamental camera. Empowering the 'Maximum' flip changes to the wide-edge camera and yields film for a gimbal-like impact, yet picture quality drops. The HDR switch should help the dynamic scope of video however I didn't see it as compelling as OnePlus' answer on the 8 Pro. 

By and large, I think the fax camera in the X3 SuperZoom is awesome, if you shoot principally in sunlight and at up to sensible amplification levels. I like the extended Nightscape modes as well, which can be helpful. In any case, without Night mode, all the sensors truly appear to battle with low-light stills and even video.

Realme X3 SuperZoom execution: No bad things to say 

Realme is gloating about the X3 SuperZoom's capacity to siphon out the most noteworthy AnTuTu benchmark score for a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ controlled gadget. While Realme may have gotten its guaranteed 5,17,743 score in its lab, I was just ready to get around 5,08,491 focuses, which is still acceptable. Obviously, a benchmark score doesn't generally ensure true execution, however I'm glad to report that the X3 SuperZoom feels quick being used. I'm utilizing the top-end variation, with 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 capacity. 

Aside from these strong center particulars, the other explanation behind the smart feel is the 120Hz LCD show. Realme chose to go with a LCD board with a quicker invigorate rate rather than a more slow (90Hz) AMOLED board, as on the X2 Pro. The 6.6-inch full-HD+ LCD board is very acceptable, with solid hues. An ongoing update seems to have fixed an issue with brilliance that I saw when I initially unpacked this telephone. Be that as it may, I would have favored a more slow AMOLED show, for increasingly dynamic hues and better difference at lower splendor levels. 

Something you relinquish with a LCD board is the chance of an in-show unique finger impression sensor. The X3 SuperZoom has a capacitive sensor in the force button on the right, which functions admirably with only a light tap. There's face acknowledgment as well, which is similarly snappy. Another helpful component that the X2 Pro has however is missing here is sound system speakers. The X3 SuperZoom needs to manage with a solitary base terminating speaker. It's noisy, and there's Dolby Atmos as well, yet the experience isn't as vivid as I would have preferred. 

Realme UI, based Android 10, runs very well on the X3 SuperZoom. I saw the equivalent valuable customisations and alternate ways that we've seen in other late Realme telephones, in addition to a framework wide dull mode. You can find out about them in more detail here. 

Gaming execution is fantastic. The X3 SuperZoom can undoubtedly deal with requesting games from the Google Play store. The body of this telephone gets warm after delayed interactivity yet I never viewed it as ridiculously hot. Realme says it has utilized a fume cooling framework, which appears to be successful. 

You can utilize two Nano-SIM cards in the Realme X3 SuperZoom simultaneously, however there's no microSD card space for growing the inner stockpiling. You likewise get double band Wi-Fiac, Bluetooth 5, and backing for the standard cluster of sensors and satellite route frameworks. 

Realme X3 SuperZoom battery: Heavy obligation 

Battery life was strong, and even with overwhelming use, I had the option to serenely utilize the X3 SuperZoom for a whole day before expecting to charge it. The 4,200mAh battery likewise did well in our HD video circle test, going on for a decent 21 hours and 42 minutes. That is great, considering the top-end SoC and high-invigorate rate show. You get a 30W 'Dart Charge' quick charger in the crate, which figures out how to fill the battery in a little under 60 minutes. The Realme X2 Pro bolstered 50W charging, yet this is still bounty quick on the off chance that you ask me. 

Realme X3 SuperZoom plan: Classic Realme 

I've saved this area for the end on the grounds that there's not a great deal that is new. In great Realme style, you get a unique completion for the rear of the telephone, and this time it's supposed to be motivated by the Arctic. The X3 SuperZoom comes in two hues, Arctic White and Glacier Blue, of which I have the previous. The bended glass back feels extraordinary to the touch, because of its smooth matte completion. The gadget feels strong in general, and despite the fact that the X3 SuperZoom is somewhat enormous and powerful, it's as yet agreeable to utilize. 

Decision: Should you purchase the Realme X3 SuperZoom? 

On the off chance that you've made it this far, you most likely know at this point the Realme X3 SuperZoom is to be sure a decent all-rounder. The base variation is estimated at Rs. 27,999 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of capacity, while the subsequent variation costs Rs. 32,999 for 12GB of RAM and 256GB of capacity. The two variations of the telephone offer colossal worth considering all the highlights they pack in. 

A portion of this current telephone's solid focuses incorporate the smooth presentation, astounding battery life, solid execution, and the noteworthy fax camera. Low-light camera execution is still somewhat feeble, and I do miss having sound system speakers. 

The Realme X3 SuperZoom covers with the Realme X2 Pro (Review) a piece, but instead than supplant it, I believe there's sufficient purpose behind both to coincide. With the X2 Pro, you don't get the all-encompassing zoom range and second selfie camera, however then again, you get a more extravagant HDR10+ affirmed AMOLED show, sound system speakers, and 50W quick charging. 

At last, everything relies upon what you need from your cell phone. In the event that a fax camera with a long zoom extend is a higher need, at that point the X3 SuperZoom is the undeniable decision. Else, on the off chance that you watch recordings much more than you take photographs, at that point I feel the Realme X2 Pro or even the OnePlus 7T (Review) are as yet extraordinary choices.
