Realme P3 5G with 6,000mAh battery, Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 launched in India

Realme has just shaken up the cutthroat budget smartphone market with the launch of the Realme P3 5G, priced starting at just Rs 16,999. Packed with impressive specs like the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 5G processor, an IP69 rating, and a gargantuan 6,000mAh battery, this phone is aiming to set new standards in its segment.

These new phones will join the Realme P3 Pro and Realme P3X in the company’s P3 series. Want to know what this new budget phone brings to the table? Let’s dive in.
