Realme 3 Pro Review: Xiaomi Should Be Worried

2019-04-23
romi three Pro is the latest and most advanced device from real me yet and it still has a microUSB so real Mia's been making a name for itself as possibly the best manufacturer and it comes to sub $100 devices their devices generally offer a really great value for money really great performance for that price the only gripe I really had with them was a the fact that they didn't always improve that much between generations they released a lot of devices very quickly and B they always had a microUSB and by now three generations are on a device with Pro in the name you'd think they'd get rid of the microUSB probably not going to change the way you use this too much on a day to day basis but it's definitely backwards thinking and it's the only real blight on what otherwise is a fantastic value proposition so with that little break out of the way what else do we got well the device makes a good first impression that design is actually quite nice the back panel is supporting the same gradient effect that we saw on the real we 3 but now also has a light grating effect basically this means lots of very thin lines that you can only just make out but it really adds to the texture and it's kind of in a slight S shaped pattern so yeah add some extra detail to the back and does make it feel a little bit more premium it feels quite light in the hand there's got tapered edges on the whole it's very nice to use perhaps the only real odd thing about the design is that there's no obvious design language between these different devices in the real mean line that's not going to be a problem for the end user really on the other slight blight in terms of the design is that the volume rocker is to set four buttons which always feels a bit cheap but it's not the end of the world either there's a speaker grille down the bottom just a single one but it's perfectly loud and there's a fingerprint sensor which works really well around back the face unlock also works really quickly and there's a headphone jack the only big omission unfortunately is NFC which I know isn't a big deal in a lot of markets but for some people that's likely to be a deal-breaker if you like paying with your phone for instance that said some users will also be very happy to see if there's a dual SIM tray here on the front you've got a 6.3 inch 1080p notched IPS LCD display looks nice and punchy nice and bright along with good sound not groundbreaking but given the roughly $200 price tag that we can expect it's very nice to see that it's not a 720p as you do see on some competitor models around this price it's also Gorilla Glass 5 so that's nice and shouldn't mean that doesn't get damaged too quickly but the good news continues on the inside with the inclusion of the snapdragon 710 SOC and that comes with the very welcome Adreno six one six GPU this is a big step up from the real me to pro and an even bigger step up from the real me 3 that's the kind of improvement that I like to see between different versions and pro models and it's also superior to the redmi note 7 pro which sports the 675 SOC so that's a very good win for real me if you watch a lot of my videos then you'll know one of the ways that I like to benchmark a device is by putting it through its paces using the dolphin GameCube emulator and the good news here is that this device can actually play Metroid Prime as a stable and tolerable framerate which is really impressive for the price in fact this is something that not even my Exynos 9810 sporting note 9 can do and that device will cost you about five times as much as this one so that's a massive win and generally all throughout the UI performance has been good no real stutters no real lag very very good performance also really impressive is the 4045 milliamp hour battery which gives it all day performance thanks to the efficiency of the chip and Android 9 really you can use it all day without worrying about charging it up again and the camera setup is also really good if a little bit weird on the back you get a 16 megapixel lens with a 5 megapixel backing it up it's a Sony IMX 5 1:9 sensor so produces some pretty good quality but around the front you get a whopping 25 megapixels so that's quite unusual not only to see a selfie camera that has a larger megapixel count than the back camera but also a significantly larger megapixel count the performance on that type of camera is just as good as you'd expect also the AI smarts of the snapdragon 710 make themselves known with the bokeh effect which work really well at cutting out my gelled hair then there's the AI Beauty mode which I was going to say they really care about but actually I really like how I look in some of these stealthy photos so yes actually alright and the rear camera is not too shabby either again it's not groundbreaking but the photos come out nice and sharp I only had one or two incidents where the auto exposure came out a bit funny the ái again is really good at detecting scenes and actually enhancing them for a change instead of just over saturating everything you shouldn't be disappointed with this camera at all video is a little bit less exciting only 1080p at 30fps there's also some cool features here you get super slo-mo actual super slo-mo that's 960 fps only at 720p though but that's really great for a device this price also you get the night scape mode which I said in the real me 3 review that I wasn't blown away with there's nothing wrong with it don't get me wrong it just it takes a while to work and it's not quite as impressive as even the regular setting on a flagship camera it's a bit better this time around it's not amazing but I'd certainly rather have it than not and in situations where you don't have much light it will definitely boost the clarity so that's a welcome addition certainly doesn't hurt finally rounding off the package is the software you get color OS 6 over the top of Android 9 that is a slightly heavy skinned certainly not to everyone's tastes that rather ostentatious notification shade is still present and correct the settings menu is pretty hard to navigate not very intuitive and generally there are some aesthetic touches throughout but I'm not a huge fan of it's a bit iOS inspired still but it's improving I don't think it's gonna be a deal-breaker for a lot of people or at least it certainly shouldn't be it doesn't really get in the way it's just that it's not my favorite choice and so overall the real movie pro is a really fantastic package you get some really good performance here better than any flagship from last generation in many ways you get a really decent camera which is capable of some cool nifty tricks especially that selfie camera you only letdowns really are the lack of NFC color OS for some people and that Dan microUSB if they just get rid of that then this would be an incredible package as it is it's still a really great package and one that I would recommend to a lot of people in fact my own wife anybody who's looking for a device that's going to perform really really well doesn't want to spend a huge amount of money and then one who isn't too concerned about things like USB type-c in other words no tic fetishists I think Xiaomi should actually be a little bit worried don't found this video useful interesting guys if you did then
