The Realme Q3 5G derives its next-gen connectivity from the Snapdragon 750G (8 nm) chipset. This one has a peak download speed of 3.7 Gbps and the vapor chamber promises up to 10ºC lower temperatures. The screen is different too, it’s a 6.5” LCD (1080p+) with 120 Hz refresh rate and 180 Hz touch sampling rate. The peak brightness is 600 nits and it promises 96% coverage of the NTSC color gamut. The fingerprint reader on this one is on the side, built into the Power button.
The main camera gets a 48 MP sensor and
while it supports 4K video capture, it tops out at 30 fps (you need to drop to
1080p if you want 60 fps). The 8 MP ultra wide camera (119º) and the macro
module are the same, as is the 16 MP selfie camera.
The non-Pro model packs a larger battery,
5,000 mAh, with the same 30W charger in the box. It’s big enough to last a 10
hour gaming session without a break. The vanilla model also has a 3.5 mm
headphone jack on the bottom, as well as the stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos
and Hi-Res Audio.
The Realme Q3 has 6 GB of RAM with an 8 GB
option. Storage is 128 GB in either case, but note that this one has a microSD
slot (the Pro doesn’t). Prices start at CNY 1,300 (US$ 200/€ 165). Pre-orders kick
off today, the first units will be available on April 29. You will find it on
realme.com.
