Smartphone maker realme has today announced they’re bringing the X3 SuperZoom smartphone, and their realme Smartwatch to Australia from July 2nd.
realme X3 SuperZoom
The realme X3 SuperZoom is designed with gamers and photographers in mind, and comes with two configurations to suit different budgets.
The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, but comes with either 8GB RAM/128GB storage for $699, or 12GB RAM/256GB storage for $799.
The phone includes a massive 6.57-inch FullHD+ resolution display which runs at 120Hz. The higher refresh rate looks smoother and offers a cleaner look for transitions in applications, and especially in gaming.
realme have included a total of six cameras on the X3 SuperZoom, with a dual front-facing camera setup offering a 32MP sensor with an additional 8MP sensor behind an ultra-wide angle lens. On the rear you get four camera sensors with a 64MP main sensor with an 8-MP wide-angle camera, and a 2-MP macro camera – but the real star is the 8MP sensor which is paired with a 5x Optical periscope zoom, which combines to give a 60x ‘SuperZoom’ function making it ‘easy to snap sharp and clear shots even from 100 meters away’.
realme have also included 30W Dart Charge with the X3 SuperZoom, which means you can fill 70% of the 4200mAh battery in just 30 minutes, or up to 100% in under an hour.
