  • Realme 11 Pro+

    The Realme 11 Pro+ launched in India in June 2023 at Rs 27,999 for 8 GB and 256 GB, alongside the 11 Pro. It shares the same luxury-inspired vegan leather design and curved display, but upgrades the camera system and charging speed to compete with the Redmi Note 12 Pro+.

    Its 200 MP Samsung HP3 main sensor with OIS is the headline feature and supports up to 4x in-sensor zoom with good results. An 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro complete the setup, and the front camera is a 32 MP sensor. The Dimensity 7050 is the same as in the 11 Pro, adequate for daily use but not for heavy gaming. The 5,000 mAh battery charges at 100 W.

    Rivals included the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, the OnePlus Nord CE3, the iQOO Neo 7 and the Nothing Phone (1). The iQOO Neo 7 offered much better performance, while the Redmi had a similar 200 MP pitch. The 11 Pro+ appealed most to camera and design-conscious buyers. Gamers are better served elsewhere.

  • Realme 11 Pro

    Realme launched the 11 Pro in India in June 2023 at Rs 23,999 for 8 GB and 128 GB. Design was a major focus: the phone has a curved display and a vegan leather back with a large circular camera module, inspired by luxury travel luggage, giving it a premium feel at a mid-range price.

    The 6.7-inch curved AMOLED runs at 120 Hz with full HD+ resolution. Performance comes from the Dimensity 7050, which is fine for everyday use and casual gaming but not a powerhouse. The 100 MP main camera with OIS produces detailed photos with good colour, but the only other rear camera is a 2 MP depth sensor, so there is no ultrawide. The 5,000 mAh battery charges at 67 W.

    Rivals included the Redmi Note 12 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy M34, the iQOO Z7 Pro and the Motorola Edge 40 Neo. The iQOO Z7 Pro offered similar specs with a faster chip, while the Motorola had IP68. The Realme 11 Pro's appeal was largely its design and curved display. Those who want an ultrawide should look elsewhere.

  • 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.

  • Realme P2 Pro

    Realme's P2 Pro launched in September 2024 and moved the P-series upmarket with a curved display, a Qualcomm chipset and a larger battery. It was aimed at buyers in the 20,000 to 25,000 rupee range who were also considering the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion, Poco X6 Pro and Nothing Phone (2a). Its slim curved design gave it a more premium in-hand feel than the earlier P1.

    The 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display at 120Hz is sharp and vivid, and the curved glass sides make the phone easy to hold. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 delivers steady, efficient performance for everyday use and moderate gaming, though it trails the Poco X6 Pro's Dimensity 8300 Ultra in raw power. IP65 protection against water jets was a step up from the IP54 ratings common in this segment.

    The 50 MP Sony LYT-600 main camera with OIS takes balanced photos, and an 8 MP ultrawide adds flexibility. The 32 MP selfie camera is a strong point for video calls and social media. The 5,200 mAh battery with 80W charging is among the best combinations at this price. For buyers who prioritise battery, display and design over benchmark scores, it was a well-rounded option.

  • Realme P1

    The Realme P1 opened a new Flipkart-focused P-series in April 2024, effectively positioning itself as a value alternative to the Narzo line sold on Amazon. It packed familiar Realme hardware into a fresh design with a large circular camera module, aiming squarely at the Redmi Note 13, Poco X6 Neo and iQOO Z9 in the sub-16,000 to 20,000 rupee range.

    The 6.67-inch AMOLED display refreshes at 120Hz and gets bright enough for outdoor use, which is a clear advantage over LCD rivals. The Dimensity 7050 provides consistent, if unspectacular, performance for gaming at medium settings and multitasking. IP54 dust and splash protection and a vapour chamber for cooling were highlighted at launch, reflecting the P-series focus on durability and sustained performance.

    Cameras include a 50 MP main sensor and a 2 MP depth unit, delivering good daylight results but nothing remarkable after dark. The 16 MP front camera is fine for video calls. A 5,000 mAh battery with 45W charging gives dependable endurance. The iQOO Z9 offered better low-light photos with OIS, but the P1 often undercut it on price during sales, which made it a popular value choice.

  • Realme C67 5G

    Launched in December 2023, the C67 5G was Realme's attempt to push 5G further down its C-series range. It targeted buyers who wanted future-proof connectivity for the lowest possible outlay, going up against the Redmi 13C 5G, Samsung Galaxy A14 5G and Lava Storm. The design followed the flat-edged look that Realme used across its 2023 budget lineup, with a glossy rear finish.

    The 6.72-inch IPS LCD runs at 120Hz, which helps scrolling feel smooth even if colours and contrast fall short of AMOLED. MediaTek's Dimensity 6100+ is a common budget 5G chip that handles calls, social media and video comfortably, though gaming is limited to lighter titles. IP54 splash resistance was a welcome inclusion that many rivals at this price skipped.

    A 50 MP main camera and 2 MP depth sensor produce usable daylight shots, and the 8 MP selfie camera is basic. The 5,000 mAh battery easily lasts more than a day for light users, and 33W charging is faster than the 18W chargers some competitors bundled. Compared with the Redmi 13C 5G, the Realme offered quicker charging and a smoother display, while Samsung's option promised longer software support.

  • 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 C55

    Realme launched the C55 in India in March 2023, and it drew attention mainly for one software trick: the Mini Capsule, a pill-shaped indicator around the punch-hole that showed charging status and data usage, clearly inspired by Apple's Dynamic Island. Beyond the gimmick, it was an affordable 4G phone aimed at buyers stepping up from basic handsets, competing with the Redmi 12C, Samsung Galaxy M14 and Poco C55.

    The 6.72-inch IPS LCD panel has full HD resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, which made scrolling smoother than many rivals at the price. Performance from the MediaTek Helio G88 is adequate for WhatsApp, YouTube and light games but slows with heavy multitasking. Realme kept practical features such as a microSD slot and a 3.5mm headphone jack, both valued by budget buyers.

    The 64 MP main camera takes decent daylight photos, though low-light shots get soft and noisy. Battery life from the 5,000 mAh cell is strong, and 33W charging was fast for this price class in 2023. Its biggest limitation was the lack of 5G, which the Galaxy M14 offered at a similar price, so buyers who planned to keep a phone for years had a reason to look elsewhere.

  • 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.

  • 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.
