| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Looks nice upfront with a dewdrop notch display with almost no bezels on the sides (however, it does have a slight chin at the bottom)
- Light, compact and easy to hold
- Decent 6.3-inch FHD+ display - the LCD panel comes with HDR10 support, which is pretty good considering the price range - it also produces nice, punchy colors, and works fine in outdoor light conditions
- Lenovo's ZUI is pretty close to stock Android - which is a good thing - it keeps things nice and simple
- Good performance from a strong Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC - the phone performs comfortably, and handles moderate multitasking well - gaming performance is good too
- Triple-camera setup at the back includes a 16-megapixel primary camera sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom (a rarity in this segment), and a 5-megapixel depth sensor
- Performance of the 16-megapixel primary camera is good, especially in daylight - background colors come out quite richly in the pictures
- Good focus speed
- Good portrait mode photos (with good edge detection)
- Overall, the K10 Note has capable cameras for the price bracket, though it's no quite there at the top of the pile
- The smartphone comes with a single speaker, but with Dolby Atmos support, which improves the overall audio performance
- Good battery life with a large 4050mAh battery - you will get around 1.5 days of moderate use
|
- Gorgeous design, with some eye-catching color combinations for the (plastic) back panel
- Very good build quality and finish
- Fast fingerprint sensor, and face unlock
- Good 6.3inch IPS panel, with a small dewdrop notch, and minimal bezels - it's sharp, decently bright, has high contrast, and accurate colors
- Media playback is handled well, and videos are rendered with punchy colours
- ColorOS 6 UI has a new, cleaner look, and is quite feature packed, including plenty of motion and screen gestures
- Thankfully, unlike, its main competitor, the Redmi Note 7 Pro, there are no spammy ads in the UI
- Class leading performance (especially in terms of GPU) with a Snapdragon 710 at the core - everything from daily use to complex games like PUBG is a breeze
- The phone also doesn't heat too much even after prolonged gaming sessions
- Excellent camera package - mostly on par with the leading camera phone of this price bracket, the Redmi Note 7 Pro
- Packs the 16-megapixel Sony IMX519 sensor with an f/1.7 aperture - this is the same sensor used in some premium phones such as the OnePlus 6T - there's also a secondary 5-megapixel depth sensor for the phone's Portrait mode
- In daylight, the the Realme 3 Pro captures very good details in landscape shots
- Macros are sharp and well detailed too
- The phone's AI scene recognition is quick to recognise most common objects such as flowers
- Night photography is pretty decent too - and the the phone's Nightscape mode comes in handy here - it takes a second or two longer than usual to capture your shot, but the end result is a sharper image with much better detail
- The depth sensor does a very good job with edge detection, and even in low light, you can get a very pleasing bokeh effect
- Good 25-megapixel selfie camera too - selfies from the Realme 3 Pro pack a lot of detail and noise is kept in check - colors are excellent as well
- Selfie portraits are quite good too, even though they don't get the benefit of a dedicated depth sensing camera - subject separation is very competent, there are no clipped ears and blur is natural-looking as well
- Good video recording performance too - with good overall footage quality, and nice color reproduction
- The single speaker gets loud enough for media playback
- Excellent battery life - the combination of a large 4045mAh battery pack, an efficient processor, and Realme's optimizations means that this an easy 2-days battery life phone, even beating out (slightly) the excellent Redmi Note 7 Pro in battery life tests
- Super fast VOOC fast charging using the bundled charger is again class-leading - it can top up the battery from zero all the way to 90 percent in about an hour
- Overall, the Realme 3 Pro is absolutely great bang-for-the-buck, and is pretty neck-to-neck with the other top phone in this price bracket - the Redmi Note 7 Pro - while the Redmi Note 7 has a more premium glass build, and the modern USB Type-C port, the Realme 3 Pro has an edge in terms of a bundled fast charger, a slightly better processor, and cleaner (ad-free) software

| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The back design is a little bland however, and the shiny plastic body attracts smudges very easily
- But given the fact that the only changes are to the look of the notification shade, and the task switcher, and no major features are added, the ZUI layer could have been easily skipped, which would have resulted in an even more responsive feeling UI
- While the telephoto lens sounds impressive on paper, the quality is average - you will find that you can get comparable results with digital zoom on competing smartphones
- The cameras are also average in low light - there is a dedicated night mode, and it does help a bit, but not much
- Video recording quality is average - audio is also a bit of an issue too, as it generally sounds tinny
- Average selfie camera - skin textures look a bit sharpened and colours aren't always accurate - there is no flash either for night photos
- While it does technically 18W fast charging, the actual charging speed is not too great - the battery charges about 63 percent in an hour and takes almost two and half hours to fully charge
- While the K10 Note does have some aces up its sleeves - Snapdragon 710 SoC, 4050mAh battery and a reasonably capable triple camera setup - it also enters a market segment where the competition from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme, Samsung, Oppo, and Vivo is ruthless - it's worth considering if you want an HDR10 supported device for entertainment purposes or a lightweight device with near stock android experience - but otherwise, the competition is certainly better
|
- Realme continues to pre-install quite a few third-party apps such as a Webnovel, NewsPoint, ShareChat, etc (though most of them can be uninstalled)
- Video stabilization at 1080p could have been better though
- Uses the old microUSB port, instead of the modern USB Type-C port
