Realme P3 Ultra first look: Fly me to the moon!
Realme has unveiled its first "Ultra" series smartphone, the Realme P3 Ultra, marking an ambitious entry into the mid-range market with flagship-like features. Expected to be priced around ₹25,000, the P3 Ultra follows the successful launch of the Realme P3 Pro, aiming to deliver exceptional value and performance.
Design and aesthetics
The Realme P3 Ultra introduces a ‘Chanda Mama’ aesthetic, catering to space enthusiasts and design lovers. It's ‘Glowing Lunar White’ colour shifts subtly in different lighting conditions—though, in reality, it appears closer to a sophisticated grey hue rather than true white.
One gimmicky yet fun feature is its glow-in-the-dark coating, similar to the P3 Pro, adding a futuristic touch.
Camera setup
The P3 Ultra is equipped with a dual-camera system, housed in a rectangular module. The primary sensor is a 50MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Complementing the camera setup are copper-coloured accents around the module and a matching power button, adding a premium feel to the device's overall design.
Performance
Under the hood, the Realme P3 Ultra is powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra chipset. Backed by up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, multitasking feels smooth and lag-free. The device also offers up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring fast read/write speeds for loading apps, gaming, and file transfers.
In benchmarks, the P3 Ultra achieved over 1.4 million on AnTuTu, proving it can handle intensive tasks and demanding apps with ease.
Gaming Experience
For gaming enthusiasts, the Realme P3 Ultra supports BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) at 90FPS, offering buttery-smooth gameplay with reduced input lag. With optimised thermals, a high-refresh-rate display, and powerful processing, the P3 Ultra aims to be a strong contender in the gaming segment.
Display and Battery
The 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling, crisp visuals, and an immersive multimedia experience. This high refresh rate enhances gaming and video playback experiences, making interactions more fluid and enjoyable.
On the battery front, the P3 Ultra packs a massive 6,000mAh battery, offering long-lasting usage without frequent recharging. With 80W fast charging support, users can quickly top up their battery and stay connected without long interruptions.
Is the Realme P3 Ultra the Best Mid-Range Option?
The Realme P3 Ultra strikes a fine balance between performance, design, and battery life, making it a strong contender in the mid-range segment. Whether you’re drawn in by the lunar-inspired aesthetic, the impressive gaming capabilities, or the large battery, this device has a lot to offer.
With its official launch in India coming soon, the P3 Ultra will be competing against some of the best mid-range phones in 2025. If it lives up to expectations, it could be one of the best value-for-money smartphones of the year.
