Realme X3 SuperZoom brings 60x zoom capability, Snapdragon 855+ chipset

2019 was a great year for Realme as it was able to position itself among the biggest smartphone brands in South Asia. 2020 was supposed to be the year to build on that success but things haven't really gone according to plan because of the ongoing pandemic. Realme X2 Pro was last year's breakout hit, which also briefly held the title of a "flagship killer." And now, the company has added the Realme X3 SuperZoom in its lineup. Let's learn more about Realme X3 Superzoom along with its price and expected availability in Nepal here.

Realme X3 SuperZoom Overview

As the name suggests, the Realme X3 has the primary focus on its 8MP 5x perioscope zoom lens. The sensor with the help of the primary sensor and software can take up to 60X hybrid zoom pictures. The rest of the quad-camera setup consists of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. While we are at cameras, the phone has enhanced its capabilities with the nightscape feature (night mode) equipped with a pro mode where one can adjust various settings like ISO, shutter speed, autofocus, etc. And like the Realme 6 Pro, we get a Tripod mode as well. Likewise, the selfie side of things is fulfilled by the 32MP Sony IMX616 primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. Like the back cameras, the Realme X3 SuperZoom packs the nightscape feature for selfies too. Furthermore, powering the device is the 2019's flagship Snapdragon 855+ chipset that comes combined with 12GB RAM. Additionally, you get 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. For keeping the phone cool during gaming sessions, there is a vapor chamber cooling feature. Coming to the front of the phone, it's got a 6.57- inch IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. About the aesthetics, it's got a glass back and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Realme claims that it unlocks in 0.3 seconds.
