The pricing of the series is not yet announced but considering the name — Realme X3, it is likely to be the successor of the Realme X2, which was released last year. The Realme X2 featured Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC and was made available at 17,999 INR for the 4 GB RAM and 64 GB onboard storage variant. Considering all this, we can expect the Realme X3 to launch at around 20,000 INR. The Realme X3 SuperZoom, on the other hand, was already released with a price of EUR 499 which roughly translates to 43,000 INR for the 12 GB RAM and 256 GB configuration. At this price point, it has to compete with OnePlus 8, iPhone SE 2020, and etc. There is also an 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant available in Realme X3 SuperZoom, but the company did not make the pricing official yet!
