Realme’s P series debuted in April 2024 as a performance-focused smartphone lineup. The Realme P1 (review) and P1 Pro (review) made a strong first impression, while the Realme P2 Pro (review), despite being a well-balanced device, struggled to stand out in a competitive segment. With the new Realme P3 Pro, the brand is looking to change that.
The phone packs an upgraded Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, a beefier 6000mAh battery, and a more durable chassis with IP66, IP68, and IP69 water and dust resistance. These upgrades make it a solid contender. The question is, does it live up to expectations, and more importantly, can it carve out a place for itself in this highly competitive price segment? Let’s find out.
Verdict
The Realme P3 Pro is easily among the most compelling mid-range options available in India right now. It offers solid performance, an immersive multimedia experience, and a large battery. The cameras deliver good results too, though the lack of an ultra-wide lens limits its versatility. The only other drawback is the somewhat cluttered OS, though this may not be a dealbreaker for users upgrading from an older Realme smartphone.
Design and display
The Realme P3 Pro brings a few changes over its predecessor, at least in terms of form. The large camera island remains on the back, but it now has a circular shape instead of the previous, more jagged design. The in-hand feel is excellent, thanks to the softer, rounded edges that make it comfortable to hold.
The Nebula Glow variant I received for review also has an interesting quirk—like its namesake, it glows in the dark after enough UV exposure. The effect is subtle unless you have a UV light handy.
There’s also a brown and purple vegan leather variant available for users who like more subtle designs.
Otherwise, the phone includes the standard port and button options, which include a stereo speaker setup at the top and bottom, a USB-C port, and power and volume buttons on the right edge. Unfortunately, there’s no headphone jack.
