Realme has officially launched in the UK and continental Europe, with the announcement that one of its latest phones - the Realme 3 Pro - is going to be available to buy from 5 June.
For those unaware, Realme is toOppowhat Honor is toHuawei: a more affordable sub-brand, designed to offer attractive, relatively powerful and feature-rich products at a low price for younger people.
Boot up a Realme phone and you’ll find it running ColorOS, Oppo’s user interface that runs on top of Android Pie, and inside the box you’ll find Oppo-branded VOOC flash-charging power adapters.
As for the Realme 3 Pro, it’s an enticing product at its £175 price point.
It’s built from plastic, but has an attractive, coloured gradient finish on the back, and a big FHD+ screen that takes up nearly 91 per cent of the available surface area, with only a small dewdrop style notch at the top.
Inside, it’s packed with a pretty powerful Snapdragon 710 processor along with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on the standard model, with a generous 4,045mAh battery.
One of its biggest selling points is that VOOC flash charging. It might not be as fast as theludicrous Super VOOConthe Oppo Find XorRX17 Pro, but, at 20W it can still charge up the battery very quickly.
Camera-wise, it has a 16-megapixel primary camera, alongside a secondary 5-megapixel one for depth information.
What’s interesting with this camera, however, is that it’s one of the first budget smartphones to offer 960fps slow-motion videos (at 720p), and also can create one big 64-megapixel still image by stitching together multiple 16-megapixel photos.
Of course, it also has Nightscape mode for taking those low light shots like a lot of other smartphones.
You can buy the Realme 3 Pro from 5 June, direct from Realme.com for £175 for the 4GB/64GB model, or £219 for the 6GB/128GB version. Both come in Nitro Blue or Lightning Purple.
