Lahore – June 22, 2020: realme often has us wondering what’s what in its portfolio and where new models fit in the existing lineup. It’s way more than that now with the X3 SuperZoom. As the name suggests, the main selling point of the X3 SuperZoom is its 8MP optically stabilized periscope module, which offers 5x optical zoom and up to 60x hybrid reach. There’s also an 8MP ultrawide and 64MP primary shooter as well a 2MP macro cam, making for a diversified set of shooters for any occasion. We’re here to walk you through what the X3 SuperZoom has to offer.
The moniker is inspired by the phone’s telephoto camera, and it’s five times zoom periscope lens is what sets it apart from all other realmes – the few of which have a telecam that stick to a standard 2x unit. A standout feature warrants a moniker. The periscope makes the phone unique in the realme roster.
X3 SuperZoom comes with six cameras.
The X3 SuperZoom has six cameras – two at the front and a quad-camera array at the back. The front cameras are 32MP f/2.5 wide-angle (80.4°) and 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle (105°). It might sound like overkill to have dual front cameras, but the ultra-wide angle option is pretty useful for group shots or when you want to frame one or more people against a backdrop.
The quad-camera array at the back is as follows: 64MP f/1.8 wide-angle (78.6°); 8MP f/2.3 ultra-wide-angle ( 119°); 2MP f/2.4 macro (4cm focus distance); and 8MP f/3.4 periscope telephoto (5xoptical zoom).
The 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor bins down to 16MP images and does an admirable job as the primary shooter. Daytime photos are very even-handed with no crazy saturation or severe HDR effects. The dynamic range is excellent, and detail is exceptional at both 1x and 2x. 64MP mode is also available for when you want even more detail in good lighting.
realme’s camera app has zoom options for 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x with the ability to digitally zoom up to 60x. With a dedicated lens for 0.5x, 1x, and 5x, those are naturally where you get the best results.
Night modes
The realme X3 SuperZoom camera also comes with a whole host of night modes. There’s a regular night mode as well as a tripod mode for 50-second exposures for capturing light trails and the like. Starry mode beefs up your astrophotography. There’s also AI-assisted super and ultra-night modes.
This means you have several manuals and automatic low-light options for better photos. You’re going to need these modes if you want an excellent low-light shot.
X3 SuperZoom has proved to be competitive. All you need to look for is an excellent primary sensor and optical zoom. With a high specs sheet and 60x, SuperZoom is a competent smartphone as per its price range.
The official launch of realme X3 SuperZoom will be done live on realme Pakistan’s official Facebook page on June 25 at 3:30 pm. Tune in to win exciting giveaways.
