Will It Be A Hit In India?

Realme has always been at the forefront of Indian affordable smartphone market. But lately, the company has been targeting the flagship segment as well and has been quite successful there as well. The Realme X3 SuperZoom is fully loaded in every aspect; be it the display, camera, or processor.

But the major highlight here is the camera which delivers 60x hybrid zoom. It wouldn't be wrong to say that this handset is photography-oriented. And the other high-end hardware is complementary. One area where this device lacks is the display panel. The device is equipped with an LCD panel; however, if it would have been an AMOLED panel, it would have worked wonders.

That's primarily because the device offers 120Hz refresh rate and AMOLED panel does bring out better colors than the LCD. But, looking at the overall features, pricing, and the brand's popularity we can expect this device to be a hit in the country.
