The X3 Superzoom is also notable for having a 120Hz display, double the standard 60Hz refresh rate for phones, 30W fast-charge, 12GB of RAM, and 5x telephoto and 60x digital superzoom capabilities – features once found in more expensive flagships.

Compared to the POCO F2 Pro, the realme X3 Superzoom has more zoom capabilities but forgoes a depth camera used for bokeh. The X3 Superzoom also has 2 front cameras compared to the single one on the F2 Pro. The X3 Superzoom has double the RAM and storage of the P26,990 POCO F2 PRO (6GB RAM + 128GB storage).
