MediaTek Dimensity 6400-powered Realme P3x 5G: A perfect blend of speed, battery, and design in one package
If you're looking to purchase a new smartphone around Rs. 15,000, the Realme P3x 5G presents a lot of value that's difficult to ignore.
The affordable smartphone market in India is packed with competition, especially in the sub-Rs. 15k range. Phones in this segment usually focus on a few key areas while making trade-offs elsewhere, and it is exceedingly rare to find one that gets the essentials like performance, design, cameras, and battery right. The Realme P3x 5G however, looks like it might just be that rare exception.
The Realme P3x 5G features a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, an IP69-rated build, a beefy 6,000mAh battery, and a capable 50MP rear camera system. All are features that make it a very compelling option for buyers. So, let’s take a closer look at what makes this phone so special.
Power unleashed with the all-new Dimensity 6400 SoC
The Realme P3x 5G features the all-new MediaTek Dimensity 6400 SoC, a high-performance mid-range chipset built on a 6nm process. It is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which can be expanded by up to 2TB.
The processor features an octa-core setup with two Arm Cortex-A76 cores clocked up to 2.5GHz and six Arm Cortex-A55 cores running at 2.0GHz. This balanced design delivers solid performance when needed while keeping efficiency in check. Here’s a look at some popular benchmark scores of this device:
Whether it is social media, video streaming, messaging, or everyday multitasking, the Realme P3x 5G handles it all without breaking a sweat. It can even manage gaming well, offering stable performance in moderately demanding titles. Here’s a quick look at some popular benchmark scores of the device:
But what about real-world performance? The Realme P3x 5G’s real-world performance is nothing short of impressive either! The Realme P3x 5G runs COD: Mobile at an average of 59.4 fps over 30 minutes. That’s a perfectly stable 60 fps output on medium graphical settings, a feat not many phones can pull off.
This is partly thanks to the high-efficiency architecture of the Dimensity 6400, which delivers stable performance over longer periods instead of immediate power output that fizzles out quickly. That happens because these chipsets can overheat, which leads to performance throttling. By maintaining performance, the Dimensity 6400 maintains smooth frame rates without sudden dips. So if you’re into gaming, the P3x 5G lets you enjoy long sessions without worrying about lag or overheating.
Swoon-worthy 120Hz display
A smartphone’s display plays a big role in everyday use, and Realme has put a lot of thought into getting it right with the P3x 5G. It features a 6.72-inch panel with a 2400×1080 resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 950 nits. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, animations, and gaming feel much more fluid, while the 91.4% screen-to-body ratio creates an immersive viewing experience.
Visibility remains excellent under sunlight, thanks to the high brightness, and colours look rich and vibrant with an 82% NTSC colour gamut. The 1500:1 contrast ratio is the cherry on top, adding depth to black levels and making content pop.
Realme has also included several eye-comfort features to improve usability:
- DC dimming reduces screen flicker, which eases eye strain.
- Eye Comfort mode lowers blue light output for better nighttime use.
- Reading-friendly features like Paper-like Display and Black & White Display adjust textures and colours to mimic a more natural reading experience.
An enormous 6000mAh battery
All that performance and an immersive display need a solid battery to back them up, and the Realme P3x 5G delivers exactly that. It packs a massive 6000mAh battery, something you don’t often see in this price range, and offers more than enough power to get through the day and then some.
On a single charge, the P3x 5G lasts up to two days, including:
- 13.4 hours of YouTube playback
- 16 hours of Instagram scrolling
- 35 hours of call time
- 85 hours of music playback
- 12.62 hours of GPS navigation
- A standby time of up to 473.58 hours
No matter what you throw at it, battery anxiety won’t be an issue.
The charging time is just as impressive, with 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging to top it up quickly. A quick 5-minute charge gives you 4 hours of calls or an hour of video playback or gaming. It takes just 74 minutes to recharge from 20% to 100%, which is pretty solid for a battery this size! And with 5W OTG reverse charging, you can even power up other devices in a pinch.
For those worried about battery health, Realme ensures long-term reliability as the P3x 5G’s battery is rated for 1,600 charge cycles, meaning it will retain over 80 percent of its capacity even after four years of regular use.
Versatile 50MP camera for every scenario
A smartphone’s cameras can make or break the overall experience, and Realme has ensured the P3x 5G delivers where it matters. The phone comes with a 50MP primary camera, tuned to capture detailed images with vibrant colours and a wide dynamic range.
Portrait shots are quite impressive too, with accurate skin tones, precise edge detection, and a natural bokeh effect that improves subject separation. Even in regular daylight conditions, the phone produces sharp images with balanced exposure and realistic colours so that your photos look true to life without over-processing.
AI Clear Face improves selfies and portraits by enhancing details and can even sharpen older shots. No matter the scenario, the Realme P3x 5G’s camera is always ready to deliver.
Stylish yet durable design
The Realme P3x 5G isn’t just about powerful hardware and features – it is designed to last! The Stellar Icefield finish gives the back a sleek, engraved pattern, paired with a premium vegan leather panel that keeps scratches and smudges at bay. It is available in three colours: Midnight Blue, Lunar Silver, and Stellar Pink, so you can pick the one that suits your style. Despite its massive battery, the phone remains extremely slim at 7.9mm and feels light in hand at just 194g.
But it is not just about looks. The Realme P3x 5G is the first phone in its segment to feature both IP69 and IP68 ratings, making it resistant to dust and capable of surviving up to 2m underwater for 30 minutes. It can even withstand high-pressure hot water splashes, so you do not have to worry about unexpected spills or rough environments.
Realme has also added a few smart durability features. SonicWave Water Ejection uses vibrations to clear water from the speaker, keeping the sound quality intact even after exposure to moisture. RainWater Smart Touch ensures the display remains responsive, even when using wet hands or being caught in the rain.
