Realme Q3 5G
The Realme Q3 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 750G (8 nm) chipset. This one has a peak download speed of 3.7 Gbps and the vapor chamber promises up to 10ºC lower temperatures.
The phone is built around a 6.5” LCD (1080p+) with 120 Hz refresh rate and 180 Hz touch sampling rate. The peak brightness is 600 nits and it promises 96% coverage of the NTSC color gamut. The fingerprint reaer on this one is on the side, built into the Power button.
The main camera gets a 48 MP sensor and while it supports 4K video capture, it tops out at 30 fps (you need to drop to 1080p if you want 60 fps). The 8 MP ultra wide camera (119º) and the macro module are the same, as is the 16 MP selfie camera.
The non-Pro model packs a larger battery, 5,000 mAh, with the same 30W charger in the box. It’s big enough to last a 10 hour gaming session without a break.
The vanilla model also has a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the bottom, as well as the stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio.
