Realme X3 goes official with 12MP telephoto camera, Snapdragon 855+ chipset

After introducing the X3 SuperZoom last month, now Realme followed it up with the vanilla X3. As the name suggests, the X3 lacks the periscope module found on the SuperZoom and opts for a conventional 12MP telephoto camera instead.

Another difference comes in the selfie camera department where the X3 packs a 16MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultrawide snapper in a similar-looking a pill-shaped cutout. Apart from the camera differences and storage configurations, the X3 is identical to the SuperZoom.

Upfront we have a 6.6-inch FHD+ IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and the dual punch-hole cutout. The fingerprint scanner still resides on the right-hand-side. Around the back, we find the same 64MP primary shooter alongside an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 2MP module and the new 12MP telephoto snapper capable of 2x optical zoom.

Last year’s Snapdragon 855+ sits at the helm alongside 6GB or 8GB RAM and 128GB UFS 3.0 storage. The phone boots Android 10 with Realme UI on top. The battery comes in at 4,200 mAh and supports 30W wired fast top-ups.

The Realme X3 will be available in blue and white colors and starts at INR 24,999 (330$) for the 6/128GB trim. There’s also an 8/128GB version for INR 25,999 ($343) and both are scheduled to go on sale on June 30 via Realme's web store and Flipkart with offline store availability to follow shortly after. Flipkart will be taking pre-orders starting on June 25 - you can head this way to check out the landing page.
