Many of us complain that the price of phones is getting higher, and that the most normal thing is that a great top of the range today costs us more than a thousand euros. But it must be recognized that there are more and more semi-top of the range that reach the market at a very tight price, is the case of the Realme X3 SuperZoom and the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite .
Today we face two of those phones that now offer us as much power as a top of the range and some cameras also at the height, and all for a fairly competitive price, which in this case is around 500 euros.
Screen and dimensions
We are dealing with two phones with similar screens in dimensions, 6.6 inches in the case of the Realme , with LCD technology and Full HD + resolution, and very important in their favor, a large 120Hz soft drink , one of the highest on the market .
For its part, the Samsung has in its favor a Super AMOLED screen , 6.7 inches and Full HD + resolution , in this case compatible with HDR10 +. Both have a hole in the screen. The dimensions of the Realme X3 Superzoom are 163.8 x 75.8 x 8.9 mm and weighs 202 grams, while the Samsung is 162.5 x 75.6 x 8.1 mm in size and weighs 186 grams, making it somewhat more compact and lightweight.
performance
Here there is enough similarity between the two, because the R ealme has the Snapdragon 855+ processor , the most powerful on the Android market after the current 865, the bad thing is that it does not have 5G. And the Samsung has a Snapdragon 855 , a processor almost as fast as this one. In the units that we look at today, which are practically the same, there are important differences in the configuration of RAM and internal storage.
The Realme has no less than 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, while the Samsung offers 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. In favor of Realme we have UFS 3.0, while in favor of Samsung there is an expansion slot for micro SD cards that Realme does not have.
Camera
This is an important aspect for both of them, because they both have something to brag about. In the case of the Realme X3 SuperZoom, its name already tells us what we are going to find, a powerful 60x hybrid zoom , thanks to its integrated 8 megapixel telescope sensor, and which has 5x optical zoom.
It also has a 64 megapixel main sensor, 8 megapixel ultra wide angle and 2 megapixel macro. For its part, the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite has a triple camera with a 48-megapixel, 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and 5-megapixel macro sensor. The best thing about this camera is that the main sensor has Super Steady OIS , a spectacular image stabilization technology that is unprecedented in the market. At the front, the Realme has two sensors, 32 and 8 megapixels, while the South Korean boasts a 32 megapixel sensor.
Battery, connectivity, software and others …
Here the Samsung gives it all with a battery that is larger, 4500mAh , and has a faster fast charge, 45W . In the case of the Realme we have a 4200mAh and a 30W fast charge. The Samsung has a fingerprint reader under the screen, and the Realme on the side power button.
Both have bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C connector, NFC connectivity to make mobile payments and dual-band Realme GPS. Both have reached the market with Android 10 as the operating system, the first with Realme UI and the second with One UI 2.0.
Price and conclusion
We are facing two of those mobiles that offer us a relationship of benefits and spectacular price. Perhaps the Realme draws more attention for some details that are trending , such as its 120Hz screen or the camera with a telescope sensor, which offers a zoom of up to 60X, as well as a total of six cameras. Instead the Samsung offers us an AMOLED screen, HDR10 +, a camera with great image stabilization, a bigger battery and a faster charge. The performance is even , although the combination of the Realme is better, with a significantly more modern processor, as well as more RAM and twice as much storage.
The truth is that they are two excellent mobiles, which we can now buy at a similar price, the Realme for 499 euros and the Samsung for 489 euros . Perhaps at the same price it is better to buy the Realme, it has also just arrived on the market, because it goes on sale in a few days, and that means that we have two full years of updates ahead. But logically Samsung is a lot of Samsung, you can not be anything but magnanimous in this case, and what is clear is that either one is an excellent choice .
