Realme X3 SuperZoom — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Realme X3 SuperZoom was Realme's first periscope-camera phone: launched in mid-2020, it combined a Snapdragon 855+ with an 8MP 5x optical periscope zoom lens reaching 60x hybrid zoom, a 120Hz display, and dual 32MP + 8MP selfie cameras. It is a distinct model from the standard Realme X3 — the SuperZoom is the camera flagship of the pair. Discontinued for years, it trades only as a used device. This guide covers its verified specifications and what to inspect before buying one used.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The SuperZoom shares its chassis language with the X50 series: a tall 6.6-inch display with a pill-shaped cutout for the dual selfie cameras, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor instead of an in-display one. Realme claimed "three waterproof layers" in the chassis but there is no formal IP rating — treat it as splash-resistant at best. At 202g it has reassuring heft. On a used unit, test the side fingerprint sensor (these wear), check the pill cutout area for screen issues, and inspect the protruding camera module for scratches.

Display Features

The 6.6-inch LCD (1080 x 2400, 20:9) runs at 120Hz — smooth scrolling and gaming, though it is an LCD rather than AMOLED, so blacks are greyer and contrast lower than the X2 Pro's panel. Gorilla Glass 5 protects the front. The pill cutout houses two selfie cameras, which eats more screen space than a single punch hole. Check a used unit for dead pixels and backlight uniformity issues, which show up as cloudy patches on LCDs.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 855+ (up to 2.96GHz) with Adreno 640 was 2019's fastest chip, carried into this 2020 model with vapor-chamber cooling. In 2026 it still handles everyday use and most games well — comfortably the most capable chip among Realme's used X-series options. Benchmark figures vary by test conditions; these are manufacturer-era specifications, not tested performance. Sustained gaming will warm the phone; the vapor chamber helps, but aged thermal paste is less effective than new.

RAM and Storage

Global variants offered 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM with 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage (with Turbo Write). The Pakistan launch unit was a single 12GB + 256GB configuration. There is no microSD slot, so storage is fixed — 256GB is generous for a 2020 phone and a genuine plus on the used market. Confirm the exact variant in Settings before paying, since grey imports may differ.

Camera Features

This is the phone's reason to exist: a 64MP Samsung GW1 main (f/1.8), an 8MP periscope telephoto (124mm equivalent, f/3.4) with 5x optical zoom, OIS, and up to 60x hybrid zoom, an 8MP ultra-wide (f/2.3), and a 2MP macro. The dual front cameras (32MP Sony IMX616 f/2.5 + 8MP ultra-wide f/2.2) include a night mode for selfies. In 2026 the periscope remains fun and genuinely useful at 5x, but don't expect modern computational zoom quality at 60x — that end of the range is a novelty. Test the periscope module carefully on a used unit: extending optics are the most failure-prone camera part.

Battery and Charging

A 4,200mAh battery with 30W Dart charging — Realme claimed a full charge in about 55 minutes. Respectable, though slower than the X2 Pro's 50W. The 2026 reality: any original cell is six years old and degraded. Ask about real-world endurance, check for swelling, and note that a degraded battery hits a camera-centric phone hard — the periscope and 120Hz display are power-hungry. No wireless charging.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 10 with realme UI, with support ending years ago. Unpatched in 2026, and some banking apps may refuse to run. Like the rest of the X-series, keep it away from banking and sensitive accounts — it suits photography, media, and secondary use. Check the unit's installed version in Settings; grey imports sometimes sit on older builds.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-frequency GPS, USB Type-C, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res certification, and a tactile linear motor. Notably, there is no 5G despite the 2020 launch date — the 855+ here runs without a 5G modem. NFC was reported inconsistently across regions, so verify on the unit if you need it. Test the speakers and both SIM slots on any used buy.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Verified: 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB globally; Pakistan's official launch (July 2020) was the 12GB + 256GB at Rs. 79,999, in Glacier Blue and Arctic White. Critical distinction: the Realme X3 SuperZoom (periscope zoom, Snapdragon 855+) is a different, higher-tier phone than the standard Realme X3 — verify the exact model name in Settings, since sellers sometimes list them interchangeably. Long discontinued; only used units exist.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

Zohaan Mobile Gallery lists the Realme X3 SuperZoom at Rs. 79,999 (store product page, verified 2026-10-11) — notably the same figure as its 2020 Pakistan launch price, which suggests the listing may not reflect six years of depreciation and the post-Oct-6 market surge. Its used value rests on the periscope camera and 855+ performance, but at this price compare hard against newer used phones with current software. Confirm the current asking price with the store before buying.

PTA: PTA status is per device and IMEI — never assume. SMS the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status before paying. How to check PTA approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Realme X3 SuperZoom price in Pakistan?

Rs. 79,999 is the store-listed price at Zohaan Mobile Gallery (verified 2026-10-11) — the same as its 2020 launch price, so confirm the current asking price before buying.

Is it different from the regular Realme X3?

Yes — the SuperZoom has a Snapdragon 855+ and a 5x periscope zoom camera; the standard X3 is a different, lower-tier model. Always verify the exact model name in Settings.

How good is the zoom camera?

The 5x optical periscope with OIS is genuinely useful and rare at this price. The 60x hybrid maximum is a novelty — expect heavy quality loss at extreme zoom.

Does it support 5G?

No. Despite launching in 2020, this model has no 5G modem — it is 4G LTE only.

What are its RAM and storage options?

8GB + 128GB or 12GB + 256GB (UFS 3.0), no microSD slot. Pakistan's official unit was 12GB + 256GB.

How is the battery after six years?

Any original 4,200mAh cell is degraded. Ask about real-world endurance and check for swelling — the 120Hz display and cameras drain power fast.

Is it PTA approved?

PTA status is per device. SMS the IMEI to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" status before paying.

Is it available at Zohaan Mobile Gallery?

Final Verdict

The X3 SuperZoom is the photographer's pick of Realme's old X-series — a real 5x periscope and the proven 855+ in one package. Its honest price must reflect six-year-old software and battery, so negotiate from the listed Rs. 79,999 with those facts. Test the periscope zoom at 5x, check the LCD for uniformity, verify the IMEI, and confirm the final price in hand.
