  • Absence of an ultra-wide camera lens, which is a common feature in this price range
  • Camera performance suffers in low-light conditions, with images appearing soft or noisy
  • The camera software has issues with slow shutter speed and excessive post-processing, sometimes resulting in blurry photos if the subject moves slightly
  • Display is not bright enough outdoors compared to some competitors and lacks HDR support
  • Software is often loaded with a significant amount of pre-installed bloatware apps
  • Relatively short software support policy of only two years of OS updates and three years of security updates

Verdict

The Realme P3 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB) is a gaming-focused mid-range smartphone powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It features a prominent 6.83-inch, 1.5K quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1500 nits peak brightness, along with a massive 6000mAh battery supporting 80W wired fast charging. Key features include a 50MP Sony IMX896 main camera with OIS, AI functionalities, dual stereo speakers, and extensive IP66/IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance ratings. The primary pros are its bright, immersive curved display, excellent battery life, fast charging, solid performance for its class (especially gaming), and premium design with durable build. The main cons are the absence of an ultra-wide camera lens, the presence of pre-installed bloatware, and the display's brightness sometimes being inadequate in direct harsh sunlight.
