The realme X3 and realme X3 SuperZoom are Android smartphones developed and marketed by Realme, forming part of the brand's flagship and sub-flagship "X" series. The Realme X3 SuperZoom was released on May 26, 2020 for Britain, Spain, and Indian markets, followed by the standard realme X3 on June 25, 2020.
In Philippine markets, the X3 SuperZoom released on July 9 in that year, along with the realme Watch.
The primary distinguishing feature of the X3 SuperZoom is its periscope telephoto lens camera setup, capable of 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom.
Design The front display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and the rear panel is constructed from glass. The side frame is made of plastic.
In terms of external design, both smartphones are virtually identical. The singular visual distinction lies within the rear camera module's telephoto lens accent border: the standard realme X3 features a circular accent ring, while the X3 SuperZoom features a square accent border.
The bottom edge houses a USB-C port, loudspeaker, main microphone, and a dual SIM card slot. A secondary microphone is positioned at the top edge. The left side accommodates the volume adjustment buttons, while the right side contains the power button, which doubles as an integrated capacitive fingerprint scanner.
The devices were produced in two color variants: Arctic White and Glacier Blue.
