Editorial report

Realme X3 technical sheet

The Realme X3 suits buyers looking for a responsive phone with flexible camera options, provided they can accept a 4,200 mAh battery that is below average for phones of its time. Its 30 W fast charging is better than most. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone was also sold with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB.

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display refreshes at 120 Hz, a rate better than most phones launched around the same time. Its 480-nit peak brightness is below average, making the refresh rate the clearer display strength. At 202 g, the phone is heavier than most of its contemporaries.

The Snapdragon 855 Plus scores 514,747 in AnTuTu, better than most phones of its time. Its 1/1.72-inch rear sensor is larger than those in most phones of the period, and its telephoto camera offers 2x optical zoom, among the best. The camera setup also includes an ultrawide camera and 4K video recording at 60 fps; optical image stabilization is absent.

With a NeoScore of 5.5, the Realme X3 stands better than most phones of its time overall. It is a good fit for buyers who prioritize a smooth display, strong benchmark performance and flexible camera framing over a larger battery and lower weight.
