What we like about realme P3 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Smooth and fast performance for multitasking and gaming due to the powerful Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset and Adreno 810 GPU.
  • Long-lasting battery life (6000mAh typical, some regions 5260mAh) that often lasts over a day with regular use.
  • Fast charging capabilities (80W for the P3 Pro, 45W for the P3) that can charge the phone quickly.
  • Stunning/awesome 6.67-inch or 6.83-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with great clarity and vibrant colors, even in sunlight.
  • Durable and premium design with an in-display fingerprint sensor and good water/dust resistance ratings (IP66/IP68/IP69).
  • Good value for the price, considered a strong contender in the mid-range segment.
  • Decent main camera (50MP) that produces respectable photos and supports 4K video recording.
  • Presence of stereo speakers and NFC support.
  • Generous RAM and storage options, which can be expanded with a microSD card in some models.

What we don't like about realme P3 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Camera quality is inconsistent and often considered average or poor, especially in low light or with subject movement, which some users find disappointing compared to older phones.
  • The software (Realme UI) can feel cluttered due to pre-installed apps (bloatware) and some users report unoptimized performance issues.
  • Absence of an ultra-wide camera lens, which is a common feature in this price range.
  • Some users report the battery draining quickly with specific applications, despite the high capacity.
  • The charging speed is not as fast as some competitors and may take over an hour for a full charge with the included adapter.
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio support.
  • Mixed reviews on gaming performance, with some users reporting lag and stuttering, while others find it smooth.
  • Only offers UFS 2.2 storage in some variants, not the faster UFS 3.1 as sometimes listed in descriptions.

Verdict

The realme P3 (8GB + 256GB) is a 5G-enabled, budget-friendly smartphone focused on performance and durability, featuring a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display and an IP69 water and dust resistance rating. It is powered by the India-first Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, built on a 4nm process, which is paired with a substantial 6000mAh Titan battery supporting 45W fast charging. Key pros include a smooth 120Hz AMOLED panel with 2000 nits peak brightness, excellent battery life, a decent 50MP AI main camera, and a robust build quality with top-tier water resistance. Potential cons involve the presence of pre-installed bloatware and ads in the user interface, the lack of an ultrawide camera sensor, and the absence of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) for the main camera.
