What Samy is doing is Roasting X3SZ.
The Main difference between iPhone 12 pro max will be just the heavy dose of noise in daylight & the lack of Focus in photos out of 5x zoom ( out of 10 only 4 are properly focussed , an especially if its long range subject , maybe its a basic OIS system.)
Regarding Nighttime , yes there is going to be quite some difference. And that's down to what Realme wants to give us. Afterall you are not spending US$ 1000 /- like on 12 pro max. Try GCAM Port its quite an improvement , & yes other phones like Realme 6 Pro , POCO X2 ( GCAM Port only ) has better nighttime capability , including better colours & contrast . But X3SZ Night Mode ( Not Auto mode ) is still not bad , the sharpness is quite good , just that there are better out there in that price range. ( I have heard even Realme 7 Pro night mode is better then X3SZ ) , so Realme could improve if they want in future.

@anonymous - please let me know 3rd party call recorder apps supported , i.e. actually recording there are apps but when you record there is no sound from one end , or other person not able to listen to voice call etc. issues crop up.
cube ACR is working good ( After latest update , earlier I had to use another apps ) for now but with lots of ambient sound , but not as stable as realme stock UI recorder ( That is ages ahead & pretty clear ) , sometimes on restarts it forgets it has to record I have to open app to remind it ;-) And this problem you face after Android 9 as google does not support 3rd party call recording. Thats why several members on Realme community are demanding realme dialer not google.

Gingerman - As per my knowledge Facebook , Messange , Insta , Whatsapp , Twitter etc. It has quite lot of social & shopping apps on Dual Mode which is a good thing. ( Feature common in all Realme UI Phones. )
I find Realme UI is quite good & close to stock android , its actually close to Sonys Xperia UI with Oppo / Oxygen UI shortcuts , Icons & Gesures. I dont know why people critise Realme UI.
GCAM quality is quite good for Primary camera. 5x zoom has not improved much on GCAM ( As its already quite Good by default ) , Night Mode also improves . My only gripes are - No 4K30fps on 5x Telephoto & default average camera in night ( GCAM improves it ).
5x videos are also bit better on GCAM.

Hi, any user here can confirm how many applications can this model activate dual app? Mean say whatsapps, user can activate second whataspps on the same phone. Like most of the Xiaomi phones can activate all applications for dual apps. Oppo phones can only activate any 3 at the same time. So this Realme X3 superzoom can do how many ?

Night mode of X3SZ has more details then Realme 6 Pro (Main Subject only and marginal ), but overall contrast is bit off.
Tripod mode is excellent in both with 6 pro taking slight lead (bit sharper), most of the colour loss is recovered in X3SZ, overall camera of s3sz is not bad package if u combine 720p 960fps slomo, 4k60fps.etc. But the primary camera has noise even in videos and daylight, please let me know if GCAM is good on X3SZ.

5x zoom video is something which you have to carefully pan and move , if you move slowly then only usable 5x video possible , on tripod in midrange you get the best 5x zoom videos for midrange 1080p 30fps. For casual walking footage is not usable.
Thanks to good quality 5x 8MP Shots - Zoom with less noise possible up to 10x which is quite good for a MidRange. ( Only for Daylight , This Sensor not meant for NIght Photography & anyway this is not Huawei P30 or P40 )
My Only gripe is the Primary Camera. I Expect price of this Models to Drop considering Market is on verge of Tsunami with 5G.

My Thought on Realme X3 SZ -
1. Excellent Daylight 5x Telephoto Camera ( Its actually 4.6x ) - Noise is kept minimum , & detailing is good - A GalaxyCore 8Mp. Sensor - Its nowhere near Huawei P30 or other 5x flagship telephotos but for Midrange. Good Daylight selfie cams. Both sensors.
2. Stock Google Apps for Phone , Messanger , Files etc. ( Only for Google Purist )
3. Good Flagship Grade daylight photos & good night time photos ( In front of 7 pro , POCO X3 & few others) , UWide is also Good but 8Mp Resolution is bummer.
4. Snapdragon 855+ , 256GB can now be had cheap with 8GB Ram. Performance is Excellent.
5. A Capable 120 Hz Display with 120 Hz Touch Sampling ( Display is Dim , but visible in sunlight on Max Brightness )
6. 4K 30 / 60 FPS EIS Videos ( Its marginal improvement over 1080p 60FPS & less Sharp , but that's still a Pro with HDR Video setting )
Cons -
1. Daylight Photos on Full view look Excellent , but zoom in 50% & noise engulfs dark areas , this is in 16Mp , 64Mp is more noisier . (5x will give lost details , but it is only part of the frame , 2x zoom would have been better ) , other Realmes have better 16/64Mp Performance.
2. No CA Support ( All Realmes incl X50 Pro , Oppo , Vivo is the real premium )
3. Google Dialer means No (0%) Call Recording Support ( Incl. No 3rd Party Apps Support )
4. 5x Video is good only in Tripod ( There also Jitters/ Shake ) , on the move / Street its Forgettable, so in Real life 5xVideos you wont shoot. So only Main Cam , & UWide have Proper VIdeo support , incl. selfies.
5. No OLED.
6. No MicroSD Card Slot
7. No 3.5MM. Headphone Jack.
8. Glitchy OS , Lags sometimes. ( Only sometimes but its there )
9. Average Nighttime Photos with Auto Mode having no details , & Night Mode ( 5 Sec. wait per photo ) is saving grace having sharper images with average contrast , average colours , oversharpening gives rise to artifacts all around. ( All 4 lens range from Poor to average in night ).

@ Vicky - If u want CA Bands , in 21k i would suggest Motorola Moto G 5G as it has 20 Bands 4G Full CA Support & 11 Bands full 5g Support , I doubt even in 5g or 4G in Realme you will get CA. CA Provides 1.5 - 2x speeds within City Limits ( Only Big Metros )& you can hotspot properly to 2 Devices , without CA only 1 Device can properly stream.

I think that in Year 2021-22 the ideal price for this phone should be around 21-22 K.
It does not have many required features.

@vicky - I have a A series samsung phone and it has CA as it latches to LTE+ and on Jio you get 10 - 12 mbps (which is CA Speed in India on Jio, non CA phones don't get more then 7 mbps and generally between 2 - 5 mbps). Imagine I put my main SIM from my new X3SZ to my Samsung.
Realme has admitted on there forum (Realme team has replied) that realme supports CA Bands, but it seems its locked (software side) to differentiate with Premium Oppo, VIVO, so Realme in reality is Non - CA.

My views on Realme x3 SZ cams -
64mp shots - 50% some noise but managable , 60% noise starts squashing details - Upto 70% zoom (only noise or white spots as its known, trees or patterns etc get crushed) (Can use irfanview or any other apps on laptop/computer., I tried in Raw but not much can be done, its issue with image processing (isp) or if realme updates.
Realme 6 pro possible to zoom to 80% then its noise so 10% more, another 10% possible on x50.
16mp noise is around 25% more in X3SZ, compared to 6 pro & x50 Pro.

MobileMan, 03 Dec 2020Vicky - "it seems to support" as the CA Bands are... moreHi
Please note that Carrier Aggregation is a feature that has not been implemented by Realme phones till now. Link I have already shared.
Similarly this feature has not been implemented by SAMSUNG A M F Series.Link below for reference.
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-M/Improve-Samsung-4G-Carrier-Aggregation/td-p/5680260
CA is only available on Samsung Flagship S Series. Link below for refernce.
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Tech-Talk/Tech-Talks-Carrier-Aggregation-GalaxyTechfluencer/td-p/4078668
Guys please be clear which phones support CA.

Vicky - "it seems to support" as the CA Bands are supported , but it never latched to Lte+ or 4G+ on my Realme X3 SZoom , that's why I had doubts, The Link you provided shows 6 Pro has it , incl. 7 pro , even realme claims our Phones supports CA , but in Practical , things are not clear .Realme needs to learn from Motorola which offers better Network Support more Bands & better 5G support.
Yes , the Review link is very good , but whatever he had explained the same thing i have explained , like Google Dialer ( So no call recording), 3rd party call recorder , its 50 - 50 not like Realme call recorder , Hence i asked realme x3 SZ users here to provide inputs on playstore recorder but no one has replied so far .
Camera is weak in Night as per attached review ( which i had Mentioned ) , i observed that there is more noise then 6 pro in daylight purely because of oversharpening , & images in Night Mode are oversharpened but with ISO at 6500 - 7500 , whereas 6 pro bumps ISO from 7000 all way till 10500, with longer exposure providing clearer images. So there is scope of improvement, Video goes up to 960fps in 720p & 60fps 4k , but the best footage is 1080p 30 fps on all lens 1080p 60fps on Main cam is good , 4k is just if you want it as it introduces Noise. ( Your review caps videos at 4k30fps( 6 pro caps at that )).
