Smartphone Realme XT 730G - advantages and disadvantages

The coming winter is preparing an interesting novelty from one of the fastest growing brands - Realme. Realme is notable for the excellent price-to-capacity ratio of smartphones. The brand can compete in this matter with the best manufacturers of budget gadgets.

Model XT 730G has every chance not only to delight brand lovers, but also to attract the attention of new users with its striking design, large display and improved filling.

Realme brand

Realme is known as a sub-brand of Oppo.

Oppo is a well-known Chinese brand that specializes in the production of audio devices, video devices and home appliances. The company was founded in 2004 as a division of the largest consumer electronics manufacturer BBK Electronics. The production of mobile phones was planned for 2008, when the first mobile phone was released.

With the Russian market, Oppo was ambiguous. The first sales appeared in the Russian Federation in 2013, and in 2014 everything stopped. Since 2017, cooperation has improved again.

Realme was founded on May 4, 2018, which is remarkable, the concept of the brand is that gadgets are created for young people and they should brighten the pastime of the younger generation. So, May 4 in China is Youth Day, it is clear that the issue of launching was approached thoughtfully.

Realme is quite young, but it already has popular models among its launches and its audience. A distinctive feature of the brand is the desire to create not just a high-tech gadget in the budget segment, but also a stylish smartphone in terms of design. To paraphrase a well-known saying, manufacturers want the cover of a book to match its content and vice versa.

Let's highlight the features of smartphones of the Realme brand:

  • budgetary cost;
  • price-quality ratio;
  • design;
  • large working surface of screens;
  • minimal display frames.

Realme has already broken several records in terms of sales, although it has not yet taken its position in the ratings of high-quality smartphones, but everything has its time, but for now it is worth taking a closer look at the XT 730G model.

Overview

The release of the novelty is planned for December 2019, despite the fact that the announcement of the release already has a lot of information about what this time will please or, conversely, upset the manufacturers of the gadget, is enough.

Outwardly, it is difficult to say that the XT 730G will be able to surprise with something against the background of all releases from the brand's competitors in 2019. A glossy back cover with a beautiful gradient overflow can hardly make a strong impression.

However, a more powerful processor, faster charging, a good camera and other details can still get the attention of the public.

Equipment

The bundle theme will presumably be according to the classics of the genre:

  • the gadget itself with a protective film;
  • a small paper clip for the SIM card tray;
  • Charger;
  • silicone case;
  • USB cable (cord length as standard);
  • device operating documentation.

Unless now the adapter will be at 30W, and not at 20W, as in the Realme XT model.

Design

The body of the new gadget will be Corning Gorilla Glass 5, the side panels are curved.

The rear panel houses a camera and flash.On the left side there are two separate buttons for volume control, on the right side there is a power button, and on the bottom side there is a 3.5 mm audio jack.

It is planned to release the smartphone in two colors: pearl white and pearl blue.

Device dimensions:

  • length - 158.7 mm;
  • width - 75.2 mm;
  • thickness - 8.6 mm;
  • weight - 183 gr.

Here, as with many other smartphones, the problem with the bulging camera. However, the handy silicone case that will supposedly come with the kit solves that issue, thanks to the neat camera cutout.

Screen

The touch screen, made of the so-called 2.5D curved glass, is equipped with an IPS-type matrix.

High resolution: 2340x1080, where the density of 1 inch is 402 ppi. It can be concluded that thanks to Super AMOLED technology, the color reproduction is quite realistic, especially in deep blacks, the viewing angles are good and, in general, there should be no problems with viewing information if the gadget is in the sun.

The diagonal of the screen is attractive - 6.4 inches, where the aspect ratio is 19.5: 9, that is, this device is suitable for watching videos, surfing the Internet and playing games.

The XT 730G also has a good display surface - 92.1%. In general, Realme is praised for giving up the bezels at the top and bottom, leaving only a drop-shaped notch for the selfie camera.

Thanks to its resistance to scratches, scrupulous users can breathe a little, but since everyone understands that everything is relative, it is better not to forget about the case.

Filling

The operating system is ColorOS 6 based on Android 9.0, however, it is planned to update to version 10.0 or the user will have the opportunity to do it himself. The chipset is installed Qualcomm SDM730 Snapdragon 730G (8 nm) with an Adreno 618 graphics accelerator.

The processor has 8 cores: 2 cores with a frequency of 2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold and 6 cores with frequencies of 1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Sliver.

The ratio of RAM to built-in memory will depend on the configuration: 4GB / 64GB, 6GB / 128GB, 8GB / 128GB. There is a slot for memory cards, the maximum size of which can be 256GB.

Technical characteristics suggest that the gadget is reliable, powerful, suitable for active games and not only.

Autonomy

The rechargeable battery has been increased from 20W to 30W, the capacity is 4000 mAh. Non-removable Li-Po battery.

Fast charging is made according to the proprietary VOOC Super Charge version 3.0.

If Realme XT 730G has more support for fast charging compared to its predecessor, the manufacturers have left the capacity unchanged.

Camera

The main camera will be equipped with several modules: with a resolution of 64 Mp - f / 1.8 and autofocus, with a resolution of 8 Mp - f / 2.3 and 2 modules with a resolution of 2 Mp - f / 2.4.

The rear camera is equipped with burst shooting, digital zoom, optical stabilization, panoramic shooting, focusing, and more, plus dual LED flash.

The front camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels - f / 2.0.

The performance of the cameras suggests that you can take not only macro shots with good sharpness, but also wide-angle shots.

Unfortunately, how he takes pictures at night or takes pictures, as he likes, it is not yet possible to be convinced by examples of photos. However, the indicators and previous models give reason to hope for a decent photo quality.

Communications

Everything is standard here: Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac, Bluetooth version 5.0, GPS, USB.

There is no wireless payment technology (NFC), which is not in favor of the upcoming novelty.

Unlocking is carried out by a built-in fingerprint scanner. The smartphone is also equipped with a variety of sensors, for example, the proximity sensor turns off the display when the user brings the smartphone close to the face (in particular, during a phone call) in order to reduce battery consumption and avoid pressing the keyboard.

Price policy

It is difficult to name the average price, as there is no reliable information on this topic, only assumptions.

The only thing that closer to December should be monitored for availability and prices on the official website of the brand, the well-known online store Aliexpress and the ebay trading platform.

Everyone will decide for himself, based on the selection criteria, the popularity of the models, the functionality of the gadgets. After all, even when comparing two models of the same brand, one cannot say which one is better to buy, since one has a good camera, the other has a more powerful processor. How to choose?
