realme 3 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
The Realme 3 ticks most boxes for a capable smartphone, including reliable performance, decent cameras and a long-lasting battery. Add to it the fact that the device starts at a very reasonable Rs 8,990 for the base model with 3GB RAM, and the smartphone surely comes across as an attractive option. However, the device does face a lot of competition in this segment. Xiaomi`s Redmi Note 7 (review) for instance, packs an FHD+ display, while the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 (review), although old, offers a sharper panel and bigger battery. All things considered, while the Realme 3 isn`t the only ...

The Realme 3 comes with a unibody design that feels quite different in the hand than the previous models in the series, due to its rounded sides. The handset's body is primarily made up of plastic and the brand has opted for a glossy finish at the back. The phone comes in gradient colour options, Dynamic Black and Radiant Blue, and my review unit was the latter. The vibrant colours look quite appealing, but on the flip side, the fingerprints accumulate over the back after some time, and I'd suggest using the device with the bundled protective case. For some reason, the brand has opted for a bright blue colour for the fingerprint sensor, located in the middle at the back, and while I don't like it personally in terms of aesthetics, you'll find that it does sort of stand out.

As I mentioned earlier in the review, the Realme 3 packs a dual-camera setup at the back. The module offers a pair of 13MP and 2MP snappers. In the default camera app, you are treated with all the usual options, including HDR, and Portrait mode, along with the ability to shoot videos in up to 1080p resolution.

Internally, the Realme 3 is fuelled by a MediaTek Helio P70 chipset clocked at 2.1GHz. The phone is being offered in two RAM and storage combinations — 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB. Our review unit was the latter out of the two. The onboard storage is expandable up to 256GB via microSD card. There's also a dedicated microSD card slot, so you don't need to compromise on dual-SIM functionality if you want to add more storage.

Battery life is one of the most important aspects for smartphones and thankfully, just like past Realme phones, the third instalment in the series does not disappoint in this department either.
