Update 1: Now, a new Realme smartphone with model number RMX2142 has appeared on TENAA in China. The reports claim that this phone could be launched as Realme X3. The certification site reveals the design and specifications of the phone. The alleged realme X3 has the same specs as the realme X50 5G that was launched in China a few months back. As per the listing, it will come with a 3D glass back with Gorilla Glass 5 protection and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Other key features of the phone include a 6.57-inch FHD+ LCD 120Hz display, Snapdragon 765G with up to 12GB RAM, 5G support, quad rear cameras with a 48MP primary camera, dual front cameras with a 16MP main + 2MP depth sensor, and a 4200mAh battery with 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 fast charging support. Earlier: First, a new Realme smartphone with model number RMX2086 was certified by Thailand’s telecommunication commission known as the NBTC. The phone has been listed as the Realme X3 SuperZoom on this site. This doesn’t reveal any feature of the phone.
However, the Geekbench listing of the phone reveals some of its specs. As per the benchmarking site, it will be powered by an Octa-Core processor with the model name msmnile, which is Snapdragon 855+. It also reveals 12GB RAM.
So, if Realme is planning to use last year’s flagship processor on the Realme X3, it might not exactly be the successor of the realme X2 that housed a mid-range Snapdragon 730G processor. Also, as the name of NTBC site suggests, it might also come with hybrid zoom support, which is not there in the X2. Further, the phone has also appeared on the BIS certification site in India back in February. This suggests the phone will soon come to India. Even the company’s CMO Francis Wang said in reply to a user’s tweet that the X3 exists and it will be an amazing phone as it ‘holds the crown of X’. However, he himself doesn’t know when it will be launched due to the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We should know more features of the upcoming Realme X3 soon. Stay tuned!
