Display
The realme P3 Pro 5G features a 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 2800×1272 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1,500 nits peak brightness (600 nits typical, 1,200 nits HBM), delivering vibrant visuals and smooth scrolling for gaming and streaming. With a 93.8% screen-to-body ratio, 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, it supports HDR10+ and 3,840Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort. Protected by 0.55mm Gorilla Glass 7i, the quad-curved EdgeFlow design minimizes accidental touches but may cause reflections compared to the flat AMOLED on the iQOO Z10R 5G.
Processor
Powered by the 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset with an octa-core CPU (1x Cortex-A720 at 2.5GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 at 2.4GHz, 4x Cortex-A520 at 1.8GHz), the P3 Pro 5G delivers seamless multitasking and supports 90fps gaming in BGMI with GT Boost technology. Available in 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB variants with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, it lacks microSD expansion, unlike the Samsung Galaxy A56 5G. The 6,050mm² AeroSpace VC cooling system ensures thermal stability, though it trails the realme GT 7’s Dimensity 9400e in raw power.

Camera
The P3 Pro 5G sports a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX896 primary sensor (f/1.8, OIS, 1/1.56”, 24mm focal length) and a 2MP macro lens (f/2.4, 21mm focal length), supporting 4K video at 30fps. The 16MP front camera (f/2.4, 85° FOV) handles selfies and 1080p video. AI features like AI Snap Mode, AI Best Face, AI Erase, and AI Motion enhance photography, but the lack of an ultra-wide lens limits versatility compared to the realme P3 Ultra’s 8MP ultra-wide. Daylight shots are sharp, but low-light performance is average compared to the OPPO Reno14 Pro’s 50MP telephoto.
Battery
The P3 Pro 5G features a 6,000mAh Titan Battery (5,860mAh rated) with 80W Ultra Charge, reaching 100% in about 50 minutes and offering up to two days of mixed usage or 27 days of standby. The C-pack packaging technology ensures a slim design and over 80% capacity retention after four years, per realme Lab tests. It outpaces the iQOO Z10R 5G’s 5,700mAh battery but lacks wireless charging, unlike the OPPO Reno14 Pro. An 80W charger is included, unlike the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Design and Durability
Weighing 190g (192g for Saturn Brown/Galaxy Purple) and measuring 163.51×77.34×7.99mm (8.29mm for some variants), the P3 Pro 5G features a glass front/back with a plastic frame and a glow-in-the-dark Nebula Design in Saturn Brown, Galaxy Purple, and Nebula Glow. Its IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings ensure resistance to dust, 1.5m water submersion, and high-pressure jets, matching the realme GT 7 and surpassing the Infinix Note 50s 5G+’s IP64. The luminescent celluloid texture adds uniqueness, and dual stereo speakers support Widevine L1/L3 for streaming.
realme UI 6.0 on Android 15
Running Android 15-based realme UI 6.0, the P3 Pro 5G offers AI features like AI Gaming Assist, AI Image Enhancements, and AI Smart Charging. realme promises three years of OS updates and four years of security patches, matching the iQOO Z10R 5G but trailing the Galaxy A56 5G’s six-year support. Some users report pre-installed apps, which can be managed, unlike the cleaner One UI 7 on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C, and dual SIM, but lacks NFC in India.
Pricing and Availability
The realme P3 Pro 5G is priced at ₹21,999 (8GB/128GB), ₹24,999 (8GB/256GB), and ₹26,999 (12GB/256GB), with a ₹2,000 bank discount and ₹1,000 exchange offer reducing the base price to ₹18,999. Sales began on February 25, 2025, via Flipkart, realme’s e-store, and offline retailers. It’s competitively priced against the iQOO Z10R 5G (₹19,499) and Infinix Note 50s 5G+ (₹14,999), offering superior performance and display quality.
Why the realme P3 Pro 5G Stands Out
The realme P3 Pro 5G impresses with its 1.5K quad-curved OLED, Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 performance, and IP69 durability, making it ideal for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts. Its 6,000mAh battery and 80W charging ensure longevity, though the lack of an ultra-wide camera and minor software bloat are drawbacks compared to the iQOO Z10R 5G’s cleaner UI or OPPO Reno14 Pro’s versatile camera. For those seeking a feature-packed mid-range smartphone under ₹25,000, the P3 Pro 5G is a top choice in India’s 2025 market.
