Realme X3 series: another potential contender shows up via leaked benchmark scores

AnTuTu has reportedly tested a device with the Snapdragon 865 SoC and a novel Realme model number. This has led to speculations that a true X2 Pro successor is in the works. If so, it might join the X3 and X3 Super Zoom variants on its launch.

Recent rumors have pointed to a new generation of the Realme X-series of phones in 2020, but with never-before-seen models such as the X3 SuperZoom. A more conventional Pro variant was thought to be out of the picture as a consequence; however, a new leak may have painted it back in.

It comes in the form of new AnTuTu benchmarks for a device from this brand with an unknown model number. It is RMX2072, whereas the putative X3 series has only been linked to the RMX2086 and RMX2142 thus far. Its new benchmarking results show it is, like the X50 Pro 5G, powered by the Snapdragon 865.

However, its particularly high (100,000+) scores for the "memory" portion of this test suggest it has high-speed flash storage - perhaps even of the UFS 3.1 standard, which the X50 Pro lacks. Therefore, should this leak prove valid, the Realme X3 series should launch with 3 variants, which may differ according to camera specs at least.
