New Realme P3 Ultra: One thing became clear when Realme revealed the P3 Ultra — the company is here to stir things up.
Filled to the brim with guides that look more mid ranged than anything, not only is the P3 Ultra’s design to die for, it’s carrying some serious hardware.
Whether you’re a mobile gamer, a cash-strapped content creator or just need everything you can get in a phone without dropping several thousands of dollars, this phone is worth a look.
Be Different Not for Its Own Sake
Let’s start with the looks. Realme has done a nice job with the Lunar Light edition—a back panel that glows in the dark, thanks to the UV-sensitive coating on it.
At 7.38mm, it’s fairly slim, astonishingly light at 183g, and Gorilla Glass 7i look downright sturdy.
The phone is also IP69 rated, which means it’s one of the very few in this category that needn’t fear a splash or a dusty trail.
The 6.83-inch AMOLED panel is gorgeous, if anything. It has a refresh rate of 120Hz and can peak at 1500 nits brightness.
Whether you’re binging Netflix or gaming, the visual experience is an immersion. Those are slim bezels, and though there is curve, it’s kept on the down low — premium vibes overall.
Performance That Outweighs Its Price
The P3 Ultra is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage under the hood.
Translation? It flies. From jumping between apps to high-refresh gaming, it’s a buttery-smooth experience.
It even promotes it as “tournament grade” when it comes to games such as BGMI, because of its support for high refresh rates (90fps), ultra-touch sampling and impressive heat management.
It ships with Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15 out of the box. The UI is speedy and smooth, but comes with some bloatware that may irritate clean-UI enthusiasts.
It also offers 2 and 3 years of software updates (OS and security, respectively,) which decent – but still not class-leading.
Cameras That Snap the Moment (Mostly)
The P3 Ultra isn’t pretending to be a camera phone first, but what it has to offer is sturdy.
The 50MP Sony IMX896 main sensor (with OIS) does a great job taking shots in daylight – they are sharp, there is no shortage of colour and they are just about dynamic enough.
As we’ve seen with a lot of other camera’s, the 8MP ultra-wide can be a little inconsistent with colour tones, but it’s not exactly a deal-breaker.
The low-light shots are surprisingly good when Night Mode is on, though it tends to overexpose here and there. Selfies are fine thanks to the 16MP front cam, which gives good skin tones and detail.
In terms of video, you’re looking at the ability to shoot at 4K, 60fps video. Stabilization is good, but not great — particularly in mixed lighting.
Battery & Audio: No Corners Cut
Perhaps the most significant flex of the P3 Ultra, is its 6000mAh battery. For light users, that’s two days, and a full gaming day for heavy users.
The 80W SUPERVOOC fast charger will charge the phone from 0 to roughly 76% within 30 minutes – a great win.
Stereo speakers and strong haptics complete a good multimedia experience. Whether it’s gaming, movies, or just scrolling Instagram reels, the phone feels and sounds premium.
