Design of Oppo K3
This is not the first time we have seen similarities in the design between Oppo and Reality phones. The length-width and weight of both phones is also equal. Due to the laminated back panel, spots also get easily but we did not see much scratch marks during the review. Oppo’s 3’s polycarbonate body looks premium and powerful.
The placement of the button is also the same as compared to the Reality X. On the right side of the phone, a dual-sim tray is given but there is no option to increase storage. Single speakers, USB Type-C port and headphone jack have been given a pop-up selfie camera in the middle of the upper part of the phone. Sawy glass has been used for the protection of the sensor.
Oppo’s 3 has a 6.5-inch AMOLED display that comes with full-HD+ resolution. There is also Gorilla Glass for screen protection. Colors look good on the AMOLED panel and the brightness of the phone is also good. In-display fingerprint sensor has been given for security that unlock the phone faster.
Oppo’s 3 has two color variants- one Aurora Blue (we have for review) and the other Z Black. In the phone, you will get to see the dual-tone finish of purple and magenta color, which looks very good and due to the lamination, when the light falls on it, cool visual patterns appear. In the retail box you will find Wuke 3.0 Fast Charger, USB Type-C Cable, Case, SIM Eject Tool.

We have got its 64 GB storage variant for review which has a lot of space. Oppo’s 3 includes dual 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth version 5, USB-OTG, GPS support. The phone does not have a notification LED but you can enable the allways-on screen on which you will see clock, missed call alert and only SMS.
Oppo’s 3 has FM radio but remind that Reality X does not have FM radio. This phone from Oppo brand runs on Android 9 Pie -based ColorOS 6. Our review unit is running on July Android Security Patch. The interface is easy to use and has many shortcuts and gestures which we recently saw in Reality X.
The Dolby Atmos Boy Default in Oppo’s 3 becomes enabled when the phone’s speaker is used. ColorOS does not send you to waste notifications but the Oppo App Store app sends you notifications but you can also disable them by going to the app settings. In the phone, you will already get some third party apps like Newspoint, UC Browser, Dailyhunt etc., but you can uninstall them if you want.
Oppo K3’s performance and battery life
If the phone feels heavy when it is kept in the pocket and it is not easy to use the phone with one hand. We have recently reviewed Reality X and now after reviewing Oppo’s 3, we felt very similar. Sometimes Opto’s 3 hand slips but thankfully a case has been given in the retail box that helps to maintain grip on the phone.
The phone drives Android well and we did not complain of the phone being heated. The phone was lightly heated during gaming. The Snapdragon 710 processor given in 3 of Oppo has a good integrated graphics capacity. Asphalt 9: Both Legends and PUBG Mobile went well on high graphics settings.
There may be difficulty in using a large display for general use, but you will have a good experience in watching a film or playing games. The good color of the AMOLED panel is nice to see the content on the display due to Sechuresh and High Brightness. Apart from this, a speaker with dolby atomos brings a good and loud sound.
The pop-up camera has an ejection and retraction mechanism, which works well with the face recognition. Screen light in low light helps unlock your phone. Oppo’s 3 has a 3,765 MA battery to revive life, Realme X also has a battery of equal capacity.
The results of our battery loop test are also very similar. In our HD video loop test, Oppo’s 3 supported for 14 hours and 46 minutes and the phone played for more than a day on general use. The fast charger received with the phone charges the phone in 0 to 52 percent in half an hour and in one hour it charges up to 91 percent.
Oppo K3 camera
The rear camera of this phone is slightly different from Reality X. Oppo’s 3 has a 16 -megapixel primary camera with aperture F/1.7. There is also a 2-megapixel depth-sensing camera for use in portate mode. The autofocus system in Oppo’s 3 is sharp and does not take much time to lock the focus on the subject.
The photos are rapidly saved as soon as you click on the sutton button. Details in landscape shots taken in daylight were well captured, colors had good saturation and HDR also handles the exposure well. The camera app also has a croma boost feature that we have seen in Realme’s phone, in which it has been called a desire color. Close-up shots captured sharpness and details well, although the camera’s AI boosts primary colors.
Pictures taken in artificial lights in the indoor also became good. Details were well captured, colors also looked good and there was no noise in pictures. Focusing speed was also good. While shooting in outdoor at night, the pictures were good but there was a shortage of details. The problem is cured with the night shooting mode, which improves brightness in the dark area, fixing the oversexed area and the lack of details in the scene.
Oppo’s 3 has a 16 -megapixel selfie camera, which also draws a good selfie while shooting the light. HDR is very effective but the camera struggles in good detail capture in low light. Default beautification in smoothing the skin is slightly aggressive.
Talking about the video, Oppo is capable of recording 3 4K resolution but without any stabilization. Imez quality is good but colors look slightly boosts. Continuous autofocus is also fast and there was no problem while switching between two subjects. Stabilization is available on 1080p which works well. The quality of the picture is average in low light.
The camera app is easy to use and the viewfinder also has the option to activate Google lenses in the view laps, panoroma, experts and slow-motion.
Our decision
Oppo’s 3 is a good all-rounder phone. We have 64 GB storage variants that cost the base variant of Reality X, while on the other hand the price of 6 GB RAM variants of Oppo 3 Reality X K4 GB is similar to RAM variants. The cameras are also different in both devices, but from our experience, Oppo’s 3 smartphone Realme X camera has been very close to performance.
In the middle of the base model of both, we like Reality X because of course you will get a little less RAM but the storage is doubled. Recall that Oppo’s 3 does not even provide an option to increase storage. Oppo’s 3 -handed handset Redmi Note 7 Pro And Vivo Z1 Pro can also provide you with the option to increase more storage and storage in this price segment.
Oppo has 3 online exclusive phones and is available only for sale on Amazon. On the other hand, Reality X is also sold through a flash cell and it may also be available offline stores soon. Let us know that Oppo’s 3 top variants have RAM and storage equal to Reality X.
