Counclusion
Realme X3
Realme X3 is an excellent Smartphone, and also the cheapest smartphone as of now to be powered by the Snapdragon 855+, it has great camera features and very capable camera sensors, so if the software is made right then the camera will do wonders, the build is very good, but not excellent, the display is an IPS-LCD Display which may be a let-down for many people; personally I like the AMOLED display, but the IPS-LCD is also good.
Battery capacity is also very good at 4200mAh; it should easily last for around a day with normal usage.
Finally, at ₹25,000, I don’t think there is a better option than this smartphone if performance is your primary criterion.
X3 SuperZoom
Almost the same as that of the standard X3, but it has better camera’s, also that Periscope Telephoto if coupled with right Software can do wonders, so looking towards to its performance, and again at ₹28,000 it is going to be a great buy if the camera performs as expected.
