Realme 3 Pro review

Anonymous, 22 Apr 2019Not 3rd party apps but preinstalled appsMost of them removable. Haven't seen any ads on my Mom's J4+, the preinstalled apps have been left untouched/weren't uninstalled, so 3rd party apps can still be the cause

    I always maintain manufacturers should launch two variants - one with ads and other at a slight premium without ads leaving the choice with consumers.

        Few months back I had mentioned Xiaomi's dubious ad policy will 'inspire' other manufacturers.

        Realme 3 Pro is a better device than Redmi 7 pro and Samsung A50 as it doesn't invade privacy of owners with pesky ads. This is true for India, I don't know about other markets.

          Moreover all/most mid-low phone which have type-c port, still using usb 2.0 speed and also only have basic feature for charging and data transfer.

              'There's a ton of detail captured and there's no noise to complain about.'

              Just one question. Does GSMArena have crews separated for low- and midrange and flagship reviewing? Because this camera is objectively FAR from capturing 'ton of detail'.
              You just look at this messy grass, starting.. from nearest point. This is actually gross.

                  Anonymous, 22 Apr 2019no USB-C is a deal breaker from 2019 on wardsAll brands should use only usb C since 2017.

                  I hate the fact many chinese brands trade NFC, USB C, Gorilla 4 or 5 for more RAM and better cpu.
                  I'd rather have SD625 with all this than 636 or 660 without

                      Walter C. Dornez, 22 Apr 2019Nah, that's most likely third party related.Preinstalled apps

                      Not only m series but also a series have ads
                      If you have a samsung phone and you didn't saw ads just open some preinstalled samsung apps and than you will start seing ads

                        DroidBoye, 22 Apr 2019LOL, yeah, A50 is only equal to it's significantly lower pr... moreI said in terms of camera. Performance may seem under par but reviews have shown the phone doesn't skip a beat since it's quite well optimized. In general though, software is better than a large majority of the budget and mid-range, losing out to only fans and stock Android

                          Boreas, 22 Apr 2019I've read in reviews that Samsung has started using 'ads' l... moreNah, that's most likely third party related.

                              Jun1250, 22 Apr 2019There won't be any ads in their system apps, unlike Xiaomi.... moreNot 3rd party apps but preinstalled apps

                                Why no review for redmi note 7 pro by Gsmarena.

                                  Boreas, 22 Apr 2019I've read in reviews that Samsung has started using 'ads' l... moreThere won't be any ads in their system apps, unlike Xiaomi. Ads in the lock sreen are the cause of third party apps, and ads in browsers/games/apps are normal (obviously)

                                  About lock screen ads:

                                    And for competition's sake, maybe replace SoCs of phones using E7870 with E7884, E7884 with E7904, E7904 with E7885, E7885 with E9610, and for the A50 (2020)'s chipset, their new Exynos 9710. Then yeah, I can see their goal to remain no 1 is highly possible

                                    Buuut... we, as their customers must criticise them for not being on par with others. That's simply how it's done to get the best of the best as a consumer. So please, complain more ;)

                                      It's competitors Redmi Note 7 pro not Redmi note 7 .... In performance segment you compare with Redmi note 7.

                                        It’s 2019. But no type c. Redmi note7pro also has Type c and back panel is Glass with gorilla glass 5.
                                        But realme3pro is not Glass in back panel, No Type C. And no 48mp camera. But price is the same. So i think redmi note 7 is better then Realme 3 pro.
