Here’s a closer look and a quick hands on test with the Realme 3.

The mirror effect of the back of the body of Realme 3, this is the Radiant Blue variant.

Take a look of that fingerprint scanner and the dual ream cam with flash.

I like the body built, because its lightweight and the phone is very compact, it means that it wont break easily when it fell off your hand.

Speaker, MicroUSB slot, mic and headphone jack

Close up look of the dual rear cam with flash and the finger scanner. What I like from the the C1 version is that the face recognition respond so fast, I don’t even use the finger scanner when opening the C1, so for the Realme 3, I expect the same performance when it comes to phone unlocking. I know it will be more better and faster compare to my Realme C1 experience.

Logo of Realme at the back body

Dew drop design for the front camera. Thanks to this new design to expand the coverage of the screen.

Here’s my camera test with the Realme 3

For the photo feature -- you can click the menu at the screen and you can activate the Nightscape feature. I dont understand why the Slo-mo feature is at the photo section and not at the video section of Realme 3.
