  • Realme P3 Pro

    Launched in February 2025, the Realme P3 Pro built on the P2 Pro with a bigger battery, stronger dust and water protection and an eye-catching glow-in-the-dark Nebula Glow colour option. It targeted the same buyers as the Poco X7, Motorola Edge 50 Fusion and Vivo T3, offering a mix of durability and endurance at a mid-range price.

    The 6.83-inch quad-curved AMOLED display has a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, making it one of the sharpest screens in its segment. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset is a modest upgrade over its predecessor, handling everyday use and mid-level gaming well, helped by a large vapour chamber. The IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings were unusual at this price and meant the phone could survive high-pressure water jets.

    The 50 MP Sony IMX896 main camera with OIS is the only meaningful rear lens, as the second sensor is a 2 MP depth unit and there is no ultrawide. That is a step back from the P2 Pro for photography flexibility. The 6,000 mAh battery with 80W charging easily lasts two days of moderate use. Buyers wanting an ultrawide or better gaming performance would find the Poco X7 Pro a stronger alternative.

  • Vivo X90 Pro

    The Vivo X90 Pro arrived in India in April 2023 as Vivo's photography flagship, built around a 1-inch Sony IMX989 main sensor and Zeiss co-engineered optics. It took on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Google Pixel 7 Pro and OnePlus 11 for buyers who cared most about camera quality. A vegan leather back and a large circular camera ring gave it a distinctive, classic-camera look.

    The 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display runs at 120Hz with a resolution of 1260 x 2800, offering excellent brightness and colour. MediaTek's Dimensity 9200 proved a capable flagship chip with good thermal behaviour, and Vivo's V2 imaging chip assisted with photo and video processing. Funtouch OS 13 on Android 13 was criticised for preinstalled apps, a recurring complaint with Vivo phones in India.

    Camera performance is where it excelled: the 1-inch sensor produced natural depth and impressive low-light shots, and the 50 MP portrait lens with roughly 2x zoom made it a portrait specialist. It lacked the long-range zoom of the S23 Ultra. The 4,870 mAh battery supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, both faster than Samsung's. For photographers who rarely zoom far, it was one of the best camera phones of 2023.

  • Realme Narzo 60 Pro

    Realme launched the Narzo 60 Pro in India in mid-2023 as the most premium phone the online-first Narzo line had carried so far. The pitch was looks first: a curved AMOLED display, a vegan leather back on some colours and a large circular camera island that borrowed heavily from the number-series design language. It went up against the Redmi Note 12 Pro, the iQOO Z7 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy M-series in a very crowded bracket.

    The 6.7-inch curved panel refreshes at 120Hz and is the highlight of daily use, with deep blacks and comfortable brightness indoors. Inside, the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 is a modest 6nm chip that handles social apps, streaming and casual games without fuss, though demanding titles need lower settings. Realme UI 4.0 on Android 13 felt clean for the price, but early units shipped with a fair number of preinstalled apps that buyers had to clear out.

    The 100 MP main sensor produces detailed daylight shots, while the 2 MP depth unit adds little and there is no ultrawide, which rivals such as the Redmi Note 12 Pro offered. Battery life from the 5,000 mAh cell is a solid full day, and 67W charging refills it quickly. Buyers who wanted a curved, premium-looking phone without paying Nothing or OnePlus prices found it appealing; spec-sheet hunters looked elsewhere.

  • Realme Narzo 70 Pro

    The Narzo 70 Pro arrived in March 2024 with one clear selling point for its price: the Sony IMX890 sensor with optical stabilisation, the same main camera found in far more expensive phones of the previous year. Realme also marketed air gestures, letting users scroll or answer calls with a hand wave, and a glass back with a textured finish. Its main competition came from the Redmi Note 13, iQOO Z9 and Poco X6.

    The flat 6.67-inch AMOLED display runs at 120Hz and has thin enough bezels to feel current. Performance comes from the Dimensity 7050 again, which is dependable for daily tasks and moderate gaming but not a step up from the previous Narzo. An IP54 rating offers splash protection. Realme UI 5.0 on Android 14 brought a tidier interface, although bloatware remained a common complaint among reviewers.

    Photos from the main camera are the real reason to pick this phone: natural colours, good dynamic range and steadier low-light shots thanks to OIS. The 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro are average. The 5,000 mAh battery with 67W charging is a reliable pairing. Against the iQOO Z9, which had a stronger Dimensity 7200, the Narzo traded some performance for a better primary sensor.

  • Realme Narzo 70

    The standard Narzo 70 launched alongside the cheaper Narzo 70x in 2024, slotting below the Narzo 70 Pro. Its purpose was simple: give budget buyers an AMOLED panel and a capable 5G chip at a price where most rivals still used LCD screens. It competed against the Redmi Note 13 5G, Poco M6 Plus and Lava's Blaze series in the online market.

    Using the same Dimensity 7050 as the more expensive Narzo models means everyday performance is better than most phones at this price, and casual gaming is comfortable. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display at 120Hz is the standout, giving richer colours than the LCDs common in this bracket. An IP54 rating covers rain and splashes, and the design reuses the Pro's general shape with a simpler finish.

    Cameras are basic: a 50 MP main sensor without OIS plus a 2 MP depth helper, fine for daylight social media but noisy indoors. The 5,000 mAh battery comfortably lasts a day and charges at 45W, slower than the Pro's 67W but quick enough. Compared with the Redmi Note 13 5G, it matched the display quality while undercutting on price, making it a sensible pick for students.
