Realme P3 Ultra Unveiled: A Mid-Range Powerhouse Hits the Market

Realme has officially launched the Realme P3 Ultra, expanding its popular P-series lineup with a device that promises flagship-level features at a mid-range price point. Announced on March 19, 2025—yesterday, as of today’s date, March 18, 2025—the Realme P3 Ultra made its debut in India alongside the standard Realme P3, captivating tech enthusiasts with its sleek design and robust specifications. With a focus on performance, gaming, and photography, this smartphone aims to dominate the sub-Rs 30,000 segment and compete with brands like Nothing, Vivo, and Motorola.

 

 

Launch Details and Pricing

The Realme P3 Ultra launch event, held virtually on March 19, 2025, confirmed its availability starting March 26, 2025, via Flipkart and Realme’s official website. Pre-orders opened immediately after the announcement, with an early access sale scheduled for March 19 from 6-10 PM IST. Priced at Rs 24,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB variant (with offers), the device also offers a 12GB + 256GB option expected to retail around Rs 29,999. This aggressive pricing positions the P3 Ultra as a strong contender in the mid-range market, appealing to budget-conscious buyers seeking premium features.

Standout Features and Specifications

The Realme P3 Ultra blends style and substance with a futuristic design and cutting-edge tech. It sports a glow-in-the-dark ‘Lunar White’ finish, crafted using micro-sculpting techniques to mimic lunar soil texture, alongside ‘Neptune Blue’ and ‘Orion Red’ color options. At just 7.38mm thick and weighing 183g, it’s remarkably slim for its category.

Here’s a rundown of its key specs:

• Display: 6.83-inch 1.5K Quad-Curved AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,500Hz touch sampling rate, and 2,000 nits peak brightness, perfect for immersive gaming and vibrant visuals.
• Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultra, a first-in-segment chipset, delivering an AnTuTu score of over 1.45 million, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
• Camera: 50MP Sony IMX896 OIS main sensor + 8MP ultra-wide, supporting 4K 60FPS video recording, and a 16MP front camera for sharp selfies.
• Battery: 6,000mAh with 80W Ultra Charge and AI Bypass Charging for extended gaming sessions without overheating.
• Durability: IP69 rating, offering top-tier dust and water resistance.
• Cooling: 6,050mm² Vapor Chamber, ensuring thermal efficiency during intense use.
• Software: Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0, offering a smooth and customizable experience.
• Gaming: 90FPS BGMI support and GT Boost mode, catering to mobile gaming enthusiasts.

 

 

Why the Realme P3 Ultra Stands Out

Realme touts the P3 Ultra as a fusion of “Ultra Design, Ultra Performance, and Ultra Camera,” and it delivers on that promise. The Dimensity 8350 Ultra chipset outpaces competitors like the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (found in the Realme P3 Pro), making it a beast for multitasking and gaming. Its quad-curved AMOLED display enhances aesthetics and usability, while the IP69 rating—rare in this price range—ensures durability against harsh conditions.

The camera setup, led by the 50MP OIS sensor, promises stellar low-light performance and stable video recording, appealing to content creators. Meanwhile, the massive 6,000mAh battery with 80W charging ensures all-day power and quick top-ups, supported by a smart AI bypass feature that reduces heat during prolonged use.

Competitive Edge

The Realme P3 Ultra enters a crowded mid-range market, facing off against the likes of the Nothing Phone (3a), Motorola Edge 50 Neo, and Vivo T3 Pro. Its pricing under Rs 30,000, combined with segment-leading features like the IP69 rating and quad-curved display, gives it an edge over rivals. The inclusion of a 6,050mm² VC cooling system and 90FPS gaming support also makes it a top pick for gamers, especially with Realme’s partnership in the 2025 BGIS tournament.

What’s Next?

With sales kicking off next week, the Realme P3 Ultra is poised to make waves. Early buzz from unboxing videos and teasers suggests strong consumer interest, particularly for its glow-in-the-dark design and high-performance specs. As Realme continues to expand its P-series—following the P3x and P3 Pro launches in February—this Ultra variant could redefine expectations for mid-range smartphones in 2025.

Stay tuned for hands-on reviews as the device hits the market, revealing whether it truly lives up to its “Ultra” moniker.
