A 120Hz refresh rate is also teased; along with a 4,200 mAh battery with 30W Dart Charge. It should also be noted that a few of these features could be exclusive to the Realme X3 SuperZoom, the higher variant of the two. Also, both the Realme X3 and the Realme X3 SuperZoom will run Android 10 with Realme UI custom skin on top. The phones are expected to include a 12GB RAM variant as well.

Realme X3 Series Vs Other Mid-Range Smartphones

The tweet comparing the CPU and GPU performance of the Realme X3 series has upped the game for the mid-range smartphone segment. One of the other upcoming mid-range smartphones includes the OnePlus Z, which is expected to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor.

Looking at the above comparison, the Realme X3 series has a higher score. However, we can't deny that the OnePlus Z is teased to have 5G support which could make a huge difference. It's hard to draw a concrete comparison as neither of the smartphones has hit the market yet. The Realme X3 series will launch on June 25 and we'll know more then.
