Realme Q3 5G Specifications and Price

Realme has launched the Q3 series in China. The series includes Realme Q3, Q3 Pro, and Q3i. They are all affordable 5G phones starting at just CNY 1,000 ($155).

Realme Q3 5G

The Realme Q3 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 750G (8 nm) chipset. This one has a peak download speed of 3.7 Gbps and the vapor chamber promises up to 10ºC lower temperatures.

The phone is built around a 6.5” LCD (1080p+) with 120 Hz refresh rate and 180 Hz touch sampling rate. The peak brightness is 600 nits and it promises 96% coverage of the NTSC color gamut. The fingerprint reaer on this one is on the side, built into the Power button.

The main camera gets a 48 MP sensor and while it supports 4K video capture, it tops out at 30 fps (you need to drop to 1080p if you want 60 fps). The 8 MP ultra wide camera (119º) and the macro module are the same, as is the 16 MP selfie camera.

The non-Pro model packs a larger battery, 5,000 mAh, with the same 30W charger in the box. It’s big enough to last a 10 hour gaming session without a break.

The vanilla model also has a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the bottom, as well as the stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio.
