The Poco X3 and Realme X3 SuperZoom are highly desired smartphones and there is no doubt that they are ready for anything.
If we take a quick look at their characteristics, we can observe important changes in each of them, so it will be key that we have an excellent clarity on what we are looking for. We recommend that you write down in a note everything that is essential for you before knowing the differences that we tell you and thus later make the best choice based on the parameters of each one.
Design and displays
In the aesthetic aspect we see a great change between both, shown by Poco a pentagonal module and Realme maintaining the classic vertical design. On the front they share holes on the screen but of different position and style, Realme in a double corner, while Poco only one in the center. The fingerprint reader of these models is located on the side , being a very fast and reliable solution.
The screen of both models has the same dimensions, resolution and rate. They are 6.6 inches together with Full HD + resolution and IPS technology, opting for an aspect ratio of 20: 9. The refresh rate is 120 Hz but also Poco adds a touch response of 240Hz.
Snapdragon at different levels
The brain of the two smartphones is Snapdragon but nevertheless they are different from each other, Poco’s processor is more limited as it is the Snapdragon 732G and has to compete with the leader Snapdragon 855+. As for the configuration options, the Realme has more alternatives, starting with 6 GB + 64, 8 + 128 or 12 + 256. Little by little it has options of 6 GB of RAM + 64 of memory or 128 GB, in both cases expandable via MicroSD.
The Realme storage is also faster, since it has UFS 3.0 storage technology and in the data of the Poco X3 we can see the UFS 2.1 storage. As for the RAM in both cases it is LPDDR4X.
Quadruple camera almost traced
The lenses on the back start at 64 Mpx for the main man and are accompanied by wide-angle sensors, although in this case Poco’s is better with 13 Mpx before Realme’s 8 Mpx. The third lens is the highlight of the Realme X3 SuperZoom for offering a 5x optical zoom in its 8 Mpx, while Poco is satisfied with a 2 Mpx lens to improve the portrait. Finally, the classic 2 Mpx maceo sensor is in both models.
Without a doubt, the best selfies are in the Realme X3 thanks to its 32 Mpx and 8 Mpx lenses with a wider angle, Poco will also achieve good results thanks to the 20 Mpx but far behind. Video recording once again gives Realme the winner by offering optical and digital stabilization, while both maintain 4K.
Battery battle
This point is taken by Poco thanks to the fact that the 5,160 mAh battery of the Poco is unbeatable , also accompanied by a fast charge with 33W. Realme is not down and with 4,200 mAh and a 30W load it can also reach the end of the day and give good results. In connectivity the two include NFC, GPS, 4G and only him Little audio jack input.
MIUI vs Realme UI
This battle of customization cups is accompanied by Android 10, although they will soon make the leap to Android 11 along with MIUI 12 and Realme UI 2.0 . They are two layers with many additions and options, although MIUI maintains a more Asian style and meanwhile Realme’s is much more youthful. Even so, it will be a matter of getting used to and personalizing it to our liking with its many options included. The two smartphones still have a wide range of updates ahead.
Accurate and buy recommendation
Before deciding we must know their prices and we find a notable difference, since the Poco X3 is for 269 euros in its option with 128GB of memory and 6 of RAM. In turn, with 12 and 256 GB of memory, the Realme X3 is more complete but against it the price grows up to 429 euros. They are exactly 160 euros of difference that will make us rethink the known differences.
With a better battery from Poco and a somewhat more familiar layer, everything that gives the Realme X3 SuperZoom the winner . Its high price may be the only thing that throws you back but it may be worth saving a little more and getting a more complete mobile, however if we need it now, the Poco X3 is an option that we should not doubt.
