2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Good-looking smartphone with a punch-hole display and curved glass back - the Volcano Orange variant has a unique soft matte texture with a much better grip
- At the right side of the phone are touch sensitive “Monster Touch Buttons” which in certain games allow you to use index fingers to control some in-game actions - the implementation is even better than the ROG Phone, combined with optimised haptics, it makes for a rather pleasurable experience
- The in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock are both quick to unlock and consistent
- Vibrant, large 6.44-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a tiny punch-hole camera on the top-right corner - the screen offers an expansive way to enjoy games or anything else you might throw at it
- It also supports HDR10+ which adds to the contrast and makes supported content on the screen more enjoyable
- The phone’s brightness is also great under all lighting conditions
- Super fast performance with Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 chipset, combined with the latest LPDDR 5 standard RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage - the phone aces all benchmarks and every game you throw at it will run perfectly
- The phone doesn't heat up even during long hours of heavy gaming, like playing PUBG Mobile
- Decent quad-camera setup - a 48MP primary shooter + 13MP ultra-wide lens + 13MP telephoto sensor + a 2MP depth sensor
- The pictures with the primary camera outdoors in natural daylight had ample detailing and adequate sharpness, these shots retain good brightness levels with decent contrast levels and less saturation (though, images shot indoors are a tad on the softer side)
- Decent ultra-wide lens, encapsulates a lot more in the frame than the primary sensor - the ultra-wide lens also doubles up as the macro lens and can let you go as close as 2.5cm to the subject (though, the quality isn't matched with the primary camera)
- Telephoto lens is decent too with the right amount of sharpness and dynamic range and you can zoom in upto 20X (though, the 20X zoomed photos are distorted)
- The 16MP front camera takes good selfies and manages to capture true-to-life images with a good amount of detail and even lighting
- Good audio quality from the single speaker - can deliver high volume levels, retaining the flawless output
- Included earphones in the box, a rarity among smartphones these days
- Good battery life with the 4440 mah battery - you can easily manage a day and a half of use from the phone with moderate usage
- Incredibly fast 55W fast charging with the included charger - the battery can be charged to 50 percent in just 15 minutes
- The major advantage iQOO 3 has over it's competition are the gaming centric feature and optimisation and if the touch sensitive buttons are a must have for you, iQOO 3 is a solid choice
|
- Premium, stylish glass-sandwich design - two glass sheets joined by an anodized aluminum frame
- The back has a nice gradient effect - there's a subtle "X" pattern if you shine a light at it
- Cold glass, colder metal, all curved and melded into one another, the Realme X2 Pro feels great in hand
- Excellent, fast in-display fingerprint scanner and face unlock
- Beautiful, large, bright, vibrant OLED display, with a cool 90Hz refresh rate - the best display panel you will get at this price point
- The 90Hz refresh rate means everything feels super snappy on the phone - from UI animations, webpage scrolling, to games
- The screen also delivers HDR10+ support and a bunch of colour modes too, as well as a dark mode to take advantage of the OLED’s inky blacks
- ColorOS is now more streamlined (and less bloat-y) than before, and still packs a bunch of useful add-on features, like Game space
- Top-end flagship performance with the Snapdragon 855+ beast at the core (the cheapest phone with the flagship 855+ at present) - the X2 Pro steamrolls through anything you throw at it, including high-end games
- Gaming on the phone is especially a treat, also because of the 90Hz screen
- Nice, versatile quad camera setup: 64MP primary + 13MP telephoto + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth sensor
- In daylight, the 64MP camera can grab some great shots - detail is great and dynamic range is fair
- Very good portrait mode
- The ultra-wide, and macro modes provide for some interesting framing options (though quality wise, they are not quite up there with the primary camera)
- The telephoto lens is capable of 2X optical zoom, 5X hybrid zoom, and a total of 20X digital zoom - and, up to 5x zoom, the quality is pretty good, especially in good lighting conditions
- Very good video capture with impressive electronic image stabilisation from the main camera - comparable to much more expensive phones
- Good selfie camera too - its 16MP resolution captures detailed shots, and it shoots at up to FullHD video
- Overall, the camera setup on the X2 Pro is very good for the price bracket, but it's not the best (Redmi K20 Pro, and Oneplus 7T do slightly better)
- Excellent Dolby tuned stereo speakers - they are both loud and hard to cover up - listening to music on the phone is a joy
- Very good battery life with a large 4000mAh battery - will give you up to 1.5 days of use with moderate usage
- Includes crazy-fast 50W fast charging - the fastest in the industry till date - even beating top-end flagships like the Mate 30 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 (by a massive margin) - it goes flat to 100% in just 30 minutes!
- The X2 Pro is a smashing entry by Realme in the flagship space - it's crazy good value for money, completely changes the affordable flagship landscape, and is a power user's dream - as long as you are ok with a not-the-best-at-this-price-range camera, it will be hard to do better than the X2 Pro

2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- Pretty chunky and a tad heavy, at 9.2 mm thick and 215 g weight - long gaming sessions might tire your wrists
- At this price, most phones support 90Hz or higher refresh rate and seeing only 60Hz on a gaming centric smartphone is a downer
- The iQOO UI based on Android 10 OS is just the retouched Vivo FunTouch OS and a bit disappointing - the software comes across as a weak point as it is cluttered and not well optimised (though, it is very feature packed)
- Portrait mode can be a hit or miss on the iQOO 3, as the edge-detection algorithm just doesn't do a very good job
- Low-light performance is just average as images invariably turned out soft and lacking in detail
- Video recording is average too - stabilisation is only offered till Full HD and videos are noisy
- However, the Realme X50 Pro brings faster charging, a more versatile array of cameras, and, most importantly, a 90Hz display - in comparison, the iQOO seems to be second in the race it hoped to inaugurate
|
- A bit beefy at 199g and 8.7mm thick
- Like all glass backs, this one too is slippery and attracts fingerprints and smudges
- It's still not as clean/simple as stock Android of course - very few custom skins are
- Low light performance and the night mode aren't that great, with the lack of OIS
- If you do want the best-camera-for-the-buck, or a notch-less screen however, consider the Xiaomi's Redmi K20 Pro - and if you are really keen on a clean, stock like Android experience, consider the OnePlus 7T (at a slightly higher price point)
