The Realme P3 Ultra has a beautiful and eye-catching design, and I personally like it compared to other phones like the Vivo V50e and Vivo T4. I’m also currently using these for review. An interesting thing is that I posted on social media about the Vivo V50e and Realme P3 Ultra to ask them which phone has a better design. Most people said that the Realme P3 Ultra.

This phone’s body dimensions are 163.1 x 76.9 x 7.4 mm, and it weighs 183 or 186 grams. Its in-hand feeling is fantastic, and the vegan leather on the back provides a different type of experience.

I was using its Red colour model, and I personally liked it. It does not have a full quad-curved display, like the Vivo V50e, but has a little bit of curve. It’s not a flat display as compared to my iPhone 15 or Google Pixel 6a.

One of the major things is that there is no extra camera bump on the back. Realme tried to keep the camera lens slim. I personally do not like big camera bumps on the back, like the Vivo T4, which are prone to damage.

Users can insert two Nano-SIMS at the same time. There is no SD card slot to expand the internal storage. The right side of the phone has a power and volume button. A micro phone, sound strip, and Type-C slot at the bottom of the phone.

The top ten phones have an IR blaster, a microphone and a secondary sound system. Lastly, this phone has an IP68/IP69 dust-tight and water-resistant design, so it resists high-pressure water jets and is submersible up to 2 meters for 30 minutes. So, the Realme P3 Ultra design review is impressive for me.

The Realme P3 Ultra promises the best camera result with a 50MP + 8MP rear camera set-up. But there are a lot of things to say about the camera. I was expecting something different in the result, but the result could be the same as expected. I clicked a lot of images with this phone.

If you click a picture of any human body, the image results are often saturated. The end result mostly changes the originality of any person’s skin tone.

I’m sharing some of my images showing how he drastically changed my photo. I also used the Vivo V50e to compare the images. You can see a clear difference in image quality when I clicked on both phones simultaneously.

I also clicked some close-range images, which were excellent. The edges are perfectly defined, and the green colour is quite clear in the image.

I also clicked some images in a metro station in low-light conditions, and the image result was awe-inspiring.

Let’s talk about its front camera. There are also some saturated results in selfies. It has a 16MP front camera, so I would say it’s moderate in terms of camera.

Users can record 4K videos at 30fps with the rear camera and 1080p videos at 30fps with the front camera. OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) stabilises video results in shaky situations.

The Realme P3 Ultra offers a long-lasting battery on a single charge. It has a 6,000mAh battery capacity. I used it in different environments, like watching videos and playing BGMI. During BGMI, its battery drain was quite fast, but during videos, it was normal.

The Realme P3 Ultra also has 80W fast charging support. Realme claims it can be charged fully in just 47 minutes. I tested this claim by charging the phone 100 per cent from zero per cent, and it charged fully in 55 minutes.

So, overall, the Realme P3 Ultra battery review is quite impressive.

Realme P3 Ultra comes with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a big resolution of 1.5 K. You will get to see a little curved type in it, but the bezels are almost negligible. So, your viewing experience will be very strong due to the smaller bezel.

I have seen several contents in it; I enjoyed it a lot. If the battery is draining too much, initially the resolution is set to 1.5K in the display settings, then if you make it full HD, your battery will be saved a lot.

Apart from that, it supports HDR10+, but Netflix does not have HDI certification. However, 4K HD 60fps video runs smoothly and flawlessly on YouTube. Wide One L1 certification is also available, so there will be no problem in watching full HD content, etc. Apart from that, its display comes with 100 per cent DCI P3 colour gamut, so you get to see strong colours, good deep blacks and viewing angles.

Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects its display, and I have used it without tempered glass until now. Though there are no visible scratches, I suggest you get tempered glass installed. The phone has 600 nits (typ), 1200 nits (HBM), and 1500 nits (peak) brightness, so there was no problem even outdoors.

You also get to see an extra brightness mode. There is no flickering issue in low light. You get good PWM dimming support and a 240Hz touch sampling rate, which goes up to a 2500 instant touch sampling rate. Especially during gaming, the remaining 120Hz also feels quite smooth. You also get an app-specific refresh rate, so it will not happen in any app that is running at 60Hz or 90Hz; you can run all of them at 120Hz.

Realme P3 Ultra has a Mediatek Dimensity 8350 Ultra (4 nm) chip with UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR 5X RAM. My variant has 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, while this phone has options for 128GB 8GB RAM, 256GB 8GB RAM, and 512GB 12GB RAM.

I did several Benchmark tests on the Realme P3 Ultra to check its accurate performance in different aspects. Its Geekbench scores are 927 in single-core and 3624 in multi-core. The maximum in the CPU throttling test is 86 per cent. Moreover, its Antutu score is 1408776. The 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme Stress Test for stability has an overall score of 57.7 per cent.

In terms of performance, its processor is very capable, which will improve your gaming. It also has a GT mode, which offers AI motion control. You also get support for bypass charging, and Geek Power Tuning is also available. However, as much as I played games, it went well with the standard default settings.

I spent long gaming hours in it, meaning I played a lot of games in it, so there is a little heating issue as well. Overall, Realme P3 Ultra performance review is average.

Realme P3 Ultra has the latest Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0. The company has promised two major updates plus 3 years of security patches.

Many companies are now including at least three major updates. In this range, they should have increased the update a bit, but it is regular in terms of updates.

Apart from this, you also get to see some bootware here, including hot apps and games, which you have to disable; otherwise, you will keep seeing many unnecessary ads. Even after doing this, if some notifications are coming, they are basically from three to four apps, like the app market, the internet, the Realme store, and the theme store; you have to disable all these. After doing this, your UI is good to go, so you will not face any problems. Moreover, you will not get any useless notifications.

Almost all the features of AI are also available, including a circle to search, smart cut out, AI eraser, AI clear face, AI unblur remove reflection, AI summary, AI speak, AI reply, audio will transcribe and summarise, AI writer is available, and AI translate is also available. Apart from this, another thing that impresses me is its animations.

Smooth animations can be seen when you open the app, close it, and switch between the apps, and the animations of the recent panel are strong.
