The mid-range never ceases to surprise us with better features and lower prices, among all the models in this increasingly wide range we find two exponents such as the Realme 7 and the Poco X3 NFC . These are two models that are similar to each other and key differences that can complicate the decision between buying one or the other and we want to help you.
The Realme 7 on the one hand becomes the best exponent of the emerging firm to convince young, demanding users who even need or want to play games for a low price. On the other hand, the Poco X3 NFC offers us the best experience with MIUI and features that could well be high-end. Both models have the best inside and outside, but which is the best?
Design and displays
Both models at a glance allow us to see a very current style, with very reduced edges to achieve a use of the front of up to 85% in both . The rear cameras change format to opt for pentagonal cameras in the Poco and vertical cameras in the Realme 7. The hole is present in both models in front, but each of them in a different position.
We go on to talk about what matters a lot to users, the screen size is slightly larger in the Poco X3 NFC with its 6.67 inches compared to the 6.5 of the Realme 7. In weight and thickness it is also slightly higher. Little X3 accordingly with the measurements. Both screens with IPS with a Full HD + resolution. The Poco model has a higher refresh rate with 120 Hz compared to the Realme’s 90 Hz, the tactile response more of the same since Poco has 240 Hz and Realme 7 with 120 Hz.
Mediatek vs Snapdragon
The brains of these models are more different than we might think in their daily use, as the Realme 7 is slightly less powerful with its Helio G95 manufactured in 12 Nanometers and with a frequency of 2 GHz. The Snapdragon 732G of the Poco X3 is better , created in 8 nanometers, frequency of 2.3 GHz.
The configuration options present in each model are varied, on the one hand Realme includes 4 or 6 GB of RAM along with 64 GB of memory, Poco also strikes back with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of memory. But the most complete option is the Realme 7 with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory before the same worst with 6 GB of RAM in the Poco. The storage technology is UFS 2.1 in both cases and allows us to add MicroSD cards.
Four rear cameras for all tastes
Photography is also important for the economic models of Realme and Poco, offering us a better main sensor, the Poco X3 as it is signed by Sony and has 64 Mpx compared to the 48 of Realme. The second of its lenses is the wide angle and the 13 Mpx of the Poco far exceeds the 8 Mpx of Realme. The third and fourth lenses are 2 Mpx in the two cases respectively but Poco uses them as portrait mode and macro lens, while Realme uses it for black and white photography, as well as macro.
In the front camera the selfies are tied , the Poco X3 has 20 Mpx but the 16 Mpx of Realme signed by Sony promise great results even in difficult situations. For video recording another tie, as both add autofocus, digital stabilizer and recording up to 4K.
Battery and connectivity
In another very important point such as the battery, the Poco X3 NFC has more capacity and better fast charging , 5160 mAh and 33W, compared to the 5,000 mAh and 30W of Realme that are not far behind. The two terminals have NFC to pay with the mobile , audio jack and Bluetooth 5.0 LE. We maintain 4G plus technology in both with all the necessary sensors.
Realme UI or MIUI
The point of the personalization layer is something very personal, but we can still talk about them. On the one hand Realme UI is in full growth with many increasingly advanced customization options and some adjustments that we do not see in stock Android. On the other hand, MIUI does not use the experienced Xiaomi layer with infinite options and tricks, although we do have a more Asian layer. In both cases with Android 10 and waiting to jump to Android 11 as soon as possible.
Accurate and buy recommendation
Before staying with one of the two models we will know its prices, which are not very different but can be decisive. On the one hand, the Realme 7 can be obtained for 199 euros in Amazon in its version with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of memory. With the same option we can find the Poco X3 NFC 37 euros more expensive compared to the Realme.
If we value the improvements in camera, battery, screen with higher refresh rate and the best processor, it is a good option to buy the Poco X3 NFC . However, the design can make us buy the Realme 7 and also save us significant money or go for the 128 GB option and get the purchase right.
