First realme flagship smartphone in PH
For the very first time since the brand entered the Philippines a couple of years back, realme Philippines is now bringing their X series to the country, their flagship smartphone series. In this case, we will be meeting the newly launched realme X3 SuperZoom phone.
realme Philippines announced the X3 SuperZoom's official local launch date
which is to happen on July 9, 2020. As expected, it will be a digital launch
or will be done via livestream through the brand's Facebook page and YouTube
channel. The livestream event is to begin at 12 noon.
"We are happy to announce that we are once again launching a device that will surely enrich the digital lifestyle of Filipinos. Join us on July 9 as we announce the local availability of our flagship star-shooter, realme X3 SuperZoom! We are excited to champion real smartphone value in the flagship segment through this new device," shares realme Philippines Vice President for Marketing Austine Huang.
Periscope lens with up to 60x super zoom
The X3 SuperZoom is the first realme device in the flagship tier, bringing the
brand's latest and most advanced photography innovations. realme says, this is
the only smartphone in its price segment to have a 64MP quad-rear camera
set-up that is equipped with a 5x periscope telephoto lens with up to 60x
SuperZoom, hence the name.
The realme X3 SuperZoom sports 64MP main camera on the back with Samsung GW1
sensor. The next rear camera is pegged at 8MP with ultrawide lens, there is
another 8MP and this is the one that has a periscope-style lens enabling the
phone to do up to 5x optical and 60x digital zooms, the fourth camera is a 2MP
shooter fro macro photography. While on the front is a 32MP + 8MP dual selfie
camera in a pill-shaped punch hole cutout on the upper left part of the
screen.
Sports 120Hz refresh rate
Speaking of the screen, the X3 SuperZoom has 6.57-inch Full HD+ IPS display
with a staggering 120Hz refresh rate and is protected by Corning Gorilla
Glass 5. Inside the phone is the powerful Snapdragon 855+ processor paired
with Adreno 640 GPU. In terms of RAM and storage, looks like 8GB / 12GB RAM
and 128GB / 256GB internal storage options will be made available in the
Philippines next week, but that may not be the case though. We will
see.
Sadly, it does not have AMOLED display, so there is no in-display
fingerprint reader on this one. Instead, the print reader is side-mounted,
like on the realme 6 series, which is integrated with the power/lock key. As
for color options, there will be Arctic White and Glacier Blue.
As for its battery, there will be a 4200mAh battery pack and it comes with
30W Dart Charge.
