Realme 3 Detailed Review

Design and Display

The Realme 3 comes with their new Unibody design for the back, and has a vibrant colour design. The phone comes in four shades, Dynamic black, Radiant Blue, Classic Black, and Diamond red. Even though they are not offering a glass panel, they have still produced a fine piece of art and have a simply great finish. The plastic has also aided them in weight reduction, and the phone comes in at just 175g, making it light. Moreover, the curved back ensures that the phone feels good on the hand when held. However, the glossy back does make it hard to keep the phone clean, and is a fingerprint magnet.

The screen is protected with the best of Corning Gorilla Glass, making it tougher and scratch-resistant. They have also employed the feature of waterdrop notch and offer a solid screen-to-body ratio of 88.3%. The speakers do a good lot of work too. The Realme 3 comes with a 6.3 inch screen, along with a 720x1520-pixel HD+ resolution and 271 PPI pixel density. Compared to the Competitor Redmi, it has managed to offer an HD display at a much cheaper price.

Summary

The use of plastic may seem a bit cheap, but the design is quite attractive. Even though the display is not a full-HD panel, the colours and brightness are still very good. Overall, the phone does pretty well in this category.

Camera

The incorporation of high-quality cameras in smartphones had been the major revolutionising factor that swept digital cameras from the market. Now, this is one of the crucial features that buyers keenly look for before making buying decisions.

The Realme 3 comes with a 13MP+2MP rear dual camera, and a 13MP front camera. The rear camera does provide the required clarity, and captures the best of colours when taken under sufficient light. There are a few dull images at times, and the inbuilt AI does make some change in such situations. Realme has also introduced two new features, along with portrait and panorama mode. The new nightscape mode attempts to improve the low light photos using multi-frame exposures. Chroma boost is the other added feature, and it provides an uplift in the colour element and brings about an auto-balance in light.

The portrait mode is available for both the front and rear cameras. When taking selfies, the images taken in bright conditions are attractive. Whereas the pictures taken in a comparatively darker setup could be better. However, the AI does offer some uplift to those images. The videos can be recorded at 1080p with 30fps. There is also a slow-motion feature, where videos can be recorded at 720p with 90 fps.

Summary

Pictures taken with a dull light do look a bit dull. However, the camera does a good job at this price point.

Performance

The MediaTek Helio P70 provides a good experience, and in Antutu Benchmark scored 137901. The realme 3 comes in a 3GB +32GB/4GB + 64GB variant making it seamless for multi-tasking. The processor offers a very smooth interface and doesn't bring any inconvenient lags in between. It offers the best performance for gamers. High-grossing games like PubG can be played comfortably with a seamless experience and without any lag in medium and high settings, thanks to the battery, processor, and all the supporting features! There is also an updated version of the Gamespace that aims to offer a dynamic gaming experience. The Realme 3 provides great performance for the price.

The phone comes with the new software ColorOS 6.0 and offers a significant step up compared to the previous version. The new OS provides a better overall user experience. Even though there are still a lot of preloaded applications, they can be uninstalled. The fingerprint and face unlock sensors respond rapidly to unlock the device. The call quality and the speakers quality also is of a good standard.

Summary

Overall the phone offers a great experience, particularly for gaming, within a stringent budget.

Battery

The Realme 3 is powered with a battery backup of 4230mAh Li-ion battery as its predecessor, Realme 2. The battery is sufficient to keep running an entire day with an average usage of social media, browsing, videos, and gaming. The phone comes with a 10W charger, and takes around two and a half hours to charge the phone. There is a lack of fast charging, but once adequately charged, there is a good backup for the phone. An hour of charging can take the battery percentage up to 49%. Moreover, the phone also comes with Screen battery optimisation, which will power up the battery life by 10%.

Summary

Even though there is a lack of fast charging, the battery life is sufficient for an average user to sustain through the day.
