According to Qualcomm’s naming convention, the 7xx chip is basically aimed at mid-range smartphones, while the 6xx targets low-end smartphones. The Snapdragon 710 first appeared in the Nokia 8.1 which is a great mid-range smartphone that costs twice as much as the Realme 3 Pro.
The performance difference between these two latest chip generations is not that far and it is evident in the specifications Snapdragon 675 is manufactured on an 11nm process, whereas Snapdragon 710 is 10nm, but has a newer Kryo 460 core, while 710 has a third generation Kryo 360 core.
The Snapdragon 710 with the Adreno 616 graphics core provides more video memory than the Adreno 612 on the Snapdragon 675 and has a higher clock speed. More importantly, it is compatible with the games Fortnite and Adreno 612.
This means that the Realme 3 Pro is the first budget smartphone that will allow you to play Fortnite. PUBG is indeed more popular, but for blockbuster games like Fortnite, not all smartphones can run this game.
