Realme has been quite aggressive with smartphone launches in India. It’s one of those brands which refreshes its lineups within a few months. After the 14 Pro, the company has now refreshed the P series with the P3 lineup. This new series comes within just five months later the P2 series comprising two models — the P3X and the P3 Pro 5G. The latter stopped by Giznext where we got a chance to fiddle around with it testing its real life performance. What makes the Realme P3 Pro 5G stands out in it league and how well do we think it will survive the competition? Read on to find out:

Realme P3 Pro 5G takes a slightly different approach in terms of looks than its precursor. It seems to be rather taking cues from the number series leaning towards premium aesthetics. The Galaxy Purple shade that we received is one of the Vegan Leather finish variants that feels all luxurious to touch. In fact, it doesn’t feel slippery even without the case. This considering it gets a slimmer profile which is prone to slipping gets it extra pointers for the design.
At 7.99 mm thickness, the P3 Pro 5G is definitely easy to hold and use. Single hand operations isn’t tricky too unless it’s hardcore gaming or some creative task that needs to be done. That said, other color variants such as the Nebula Green stands out with its “glow-in-dark” back panel design. So not just color option, Realme P3 Pro 5G also brings along texture options adding to its design versatility.
Cameral island’s design has ben reworked and now a protruding circular module at the centre top takes the spot. Power and the volume keys get the usual right panel mounting. Same goes for the USB Type-C port, SIM tray, and the speaker grille which are placed at the bottom.
Up front, the design is neat where the quad-curved display sports a tiny punch hole for the selfie snapper. The P3 Pro gets all the ergonomics and becomes all practical with the IP66/IP68/IP69 rating that adds up to the durability.
The round camera island of the P3 Pro 5G at the rear accommodates a 50MP Sony IMX896 lens which supports OIS and has an f/1.88 aperture. Accompanying it is a dedicated depth lens of 2MP which comes with an f/2.4 aperture.
If we speak of the overall package, camera might not be its forte but the combined dual lens setup is decent in terms of photography. You will like the camera’s versatility though. Capturing stills when background is well lit will get you some good results.
Clarity levels are decent where the primary Sony sensor comes in play. But we also noticed some of the images getting oversaturated; specifically in pictures with vibrant colors. The texture layout seems grainy in a few clicks which makes the overall experience average.
With the HDR enabled, the images are captured with a better dynamic range with visible reduction in noise. Edge detection is decent which we believe could have been better. Bokeh effects fair well when clicked using the dedicated Portrait mode.
However, there is some room for refinements here too. The output could have been better considering the price segment and the rivals it’s going up against.
Selfie game is on point and you would be impressed with the overall quality the 16MP front snapper captures. You can use the built-in filters and modes to further customize your self portraits.
Realme is betting the entire game on the P3 Pro 5G’s performance. It gets the Snapdragon 7s gen 3 chipset under the hood which is accompanied by 8GB/ 12GB RAM options. Storage options that you can choose from are 12GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
This solid configuration enables the P3 Pro 5G to handle demanding tasks and graphic-intensive games without breaking much sweat. Speaking of which, you can tune on to high-res settings in BGMI and other such FPS games. The experience is lag free overall with minimal frame drops on the screen. Multitasking is decent too, no struggle it shows while toggling between different apps. There are slight warm up issues though which is restricted to heavy gameplay going on for hours.
We also performed some benchmark tests on the P3 Pro 5G. IN the 3D Mark Wildlife test, it achieved a score of 4094 points in the performance monitoring test. In the Geekbench CPU Single-Core and Multi-Core tests, the Realme P3 Pro shines with 1163 and 3193 points respectively.
Realme P3 Pro utilizes the latest firmware, i.e., Android 15 OS topped with Realme UI 6.0 skin. Realme’s custom skin does come with multiple pre-installed third party apps. That’s what you see on most of the latest Realme handsets. There are several of user-friendly features which make the UI experience better.
Coming to the battery life, a 6,000 mAh fitted inside this slim package drives all the lights. The handset packs ample fuel that drives it for more than a day with just a single charge. While playing HD videos on loop and occasional web browsing and gaming, you wouldn’t need to plug-in the charger by the end of the day. With the 80W fast charging, refuels are quick too with the device taking around an hour for a full charge.
Realme P3 Pro 5G is a solid bet when you are out spending an amount close to Rs. 24,000. This handset is a mixed bag but an overall good performer. Its ability to handle extensive gaming whole offering smooth multitasking, and a long battery backup makes it a solid bet in the sub Rs. 25,000 segment.

An e-scooter caught flames in Greater Noida’s Gaur City
E-scooter belonged to a delivery boy
Incident’s video doing rounds online
No majo injuries reported
Electric vehicles are gradually becoming the preferred mobility solution for the urban gentry. Despite being economical ride options, certain safety aspects with electric two and four wheelers remains to be addressed on a mass scale. The most common issues faced by EV owners is the fire hazard which has affected several of the customers globally. We have come across numerous e-scooter an electric four wheeler fire incidents last year and even this year in the beginning too. And the trend seems to continue as another such incident where an e-scooter in a working condition went ablaze. The fresh accident is being reported from Greater Noida’s one of the most popular housing societies. Details are mentioned below:
The latest fire incident involving an electric scooter has once again raised the safety concerns with owning an electric vehicle. This time, the e-scooter which went up in flames was being used for last mile rides. According to the reports, a delivery boy on the way to handover an order in Greater Noida’s Gaur City Housing society had to experince the biggest nightmare when his e-scooter went up in flames.
The incident is said to have occurred when the electric scooter was being ridden by the delivery boy. Witnesses claim that the electric scooter was running smoothly when the rider was out for delivery. However, he started noticing thick black smoke coming out from the electric scooter. Before the rider could understand anything, the electric scooter was completely engulfed in flames.
The video of the incident has been shared online on social media platforms where users have raised concerns with EV-related safety. It is currently not clear which brand’s electric scooter met with this accident. But this is certainly not the first EV-related fire incident reported in 2025 and probably not the last. This has re-ignited the safety concerns with owning an electric scooter specifically the fire risks associated with the battery pack.
The iQOO 13 is here, and trust me, it’s a beast. After using it for a few weeks, I can confidently say this phone doesn’t just aim to impress, it dominates. With the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite under the hood, a super bright display, and a bigger battery, iQOO has packed in everything a power user could ask for. Whether it’s gaming, multitasking, or just scrolling through social media, this phone shines. Starting at Rs. 54,999, the smartphone is giving some serious competition to other flagships. But is it the best? Well, let’s dive in and see if the iQOO 13 truly ticks all the boxes.
The iQOO 13 is a visual treat, especially the Legend variant that I’ve got for review. With its white matte finish, subtle BMW Motorsport stripes, and minimal branding, this phone oozes premium vibes. The moment I held it, it felt just right. It is lightweight yet solid, elegant yet sporty.
The phone features a satin-finished glass back, chamfered edges, and a flat aluminum frame that adds to the aesthetics. While the rear panel is smooth and a little slippery, the glossy metallic frame offers a decent grip and resists fingerprints.
The smartphone features RGB LED strip on the camera module, which is called Monster Halo. It acts as a notification light and gaming enhancer, subtly glowing when needed. It’s not blindingly bright but adds a cool factor. iQOO also comes with an IP68/IP69 rating. That means it can handle dust and water like a champ.
Now, let’s talk about the button placements. The power and volume rockers sit comfortably on the right, while the SIM tray, USB-C port, speaker, and mic are at the bottom. The top houses another speaker, mic, and even an IR blaster, a small but useful addition.
Overall, the iQOO 13 nails the design. It is premium, stylish, and practical. It’s got all the right elements for a flagship experience.
Display
The display of the iQOO 13 is a showstopper. This 6.82-inch Q10 AMOLED panel is a treat for the eyes. It features a 2K resolution and an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. Whether you’re gaming, scrolling, or binge-watching, everything looks silky smooth and incredibly crisp.
The smartphone gives you 4,500 nits peak brightness. Even under harsh sunlight, visibility is no issue. And if that’s not enough, the High Brightness Mode bumps it up by 1,800 nits more, making it one of the brightest smartphone displays out there.
Coming to its color accuracy, it’s spot on. With 10-bit color depth and HDR10+ support, the display delivers rich, vibrant, and true-to-life colors. Whether you’re streaming high-quality content or just flipping through Instagram, the visuals remain sharp, polished, and immersive. In short, iQOO 13’s display is flagship-grade.
The iQOO 13 is an absolute powerhouse. Using this smartphone feels like having a supercomputer in your pocket. Powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, this phone breezes through everything, from everyday multitasking to heavy-duty gaming. With 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, it ensures buttery-smooth performance.
We pushed it to the limits. We launched multiple apps at once, switching between them rapidly, and running demanding games like BGMI and Asphalt at max settings. And guess what? No lags, no stutters, just pure, uninterrupted performance. The 7,000mm vapor chamber cooling keeps thermals under control, though the frame gets slightly warm after long gaming sessions, but nothing alarming.
Coming to the audio. It’s another win. Dual stereo speakers provide loud, crisp, and bass-heavy sound, enhancing both gaming and media consumption. It has flawless. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC connectivity, everything worked great in our testing.
Now, onto the software. The iQOO 13 runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15, offering a mostly clean experience. You get 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches, which is great. While a few pre-installed apps exist, they’re easily removable, keeping bloatware minimal.
The smartphone also got some cool AI-powered tools. The Gallery app’s AI Erase and AI Enhancement features work well for removing unwanted objects and reducing image blur. You also get Google’s Circle to Search and Dynamic Light controls for the Monster Halo LED strip at the back.
Overall, the iQOO 13 sets a new benchmark for Android performance, making it an easy recommendation for power users and gamers alike.
Camera
The iQOO 13 packs a triple-camera setup. The 50MP Sony IMX921 main sensor delivers sharp, vibrant images with great dynamic range. Colors look natural, and even in low light, the phone manages to retain impressive detail without excessive noise.
The 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom ensures crisp close-ups with minimal loss of quality. It has also got the 50MP ultrawide sensor that captures expansive shots without edge distortion. Whether it’s landscapes or group shots, the ultrawide lens keeps colors consistent and details intact.
For portraits, the iQOO 13 shines. Edge detection is on point, and the background blur looks natural, making shots look almost DSLR-like. The AI-powered features, such as AI Erase and AI Enhancement, let you tweak and refine images effortlessly.
On the front, the 32MP selfie camera is a solid performer. It captures realistic skin tones and doesn’t overdo the beauty filters, keeping shots authentic whether in bright light or dim settings.
Battery
The iQOO 13 packs a massive 6,000mAh battery. During my usage, the phone lasted a full day of intense use. I used it for gaming, streaming, social media, and calls, with power left for another half-day of light use. The Snapdragon 8 Elite’s power efficiency plays a huge role here. This makes sure that the battery doesn’t drain rapidly, even with the high refresh rate and ultra-bright display.
Now, let’s talk charging speed. With 120W FlashCharge, the iQOO 13 rockets from 20 percent to 100percent in just 40 minutes. Even a quick 10-minute charge gives you hours of backup.
The only downside I found was it lacks wireless charging. If you’re someone who relies on it, you might feel its absence. But honestly, with 120W wired charging, you’ll barely miss it.
The iQOO 13 is an absolute powerhouse. It offers top-tier performance, a great display, and a massive battery. While the lack of wireless charging and some bloatware might bother some, the fast charging, IP68 rating, and premium design more than make up for it. A solid flagship choice.
