Realme P3 Ultra Review
- According to Smartprix, the P3 Ultra is an “unexpected gaming champion”: strong performance for gaming, very good battery life, and fast charging (80 W).
- The build is solid with a unique “glow in the dark” lunar-inspired design, which many find visually appealing.
- The 6.83″ quad-curved AMOLED display is quite immersive, and the 120 Hz refresh rate helps for smooth gaming and scrolling.
- However, some cons mentioned in reviews: pre-installed apps (bloat), brightness in some situations may not be the absolute top compared to premium flagships, and the ultra-wide camera may shift colors.
- Real-world user feedback (e.g., Reddit) is mixed:
“battery is … draining very fast … if I play game … it drain 5-6% in every 20min”
But others say: “Lasts about a whole day … software experience is very clean …”

My Verdict
- If you're a gamer or heavy user: The P3 Ultra is a very good value-for-money phone. The performance + battery + fast charging combo is excellent.
- If you care about camera: The main 50 MP camera is solid, but the ultra-wide may not impress everyone.
- If you want long-term software support: Check Realme’s update policy in your region; some users mention concerns.
- Buying in the U.S.: Since there’s no official U.S. launch, you’ll likely be buying via grey-market / import. That means checking compatibility (e.g., 5G bands) and warranty carefully.
