Realme just introduced its new phones: Q3, Q3i, and Q3 Pro, and we will tell you about their specs, price and release date.
Just after announcing Realme 8 5G, the company introduced their mid-range with the Realme Q3, Q3i, and Q3 Pro.
On the first look, they are not very different from each other. We see that they have taken the design of the Realme 8 and it would be difficult to differentiate them. But when we look inside, we see that they offer different processors and the option of AMOLED and screen reader in the case of the Pro.

Realme Q3
The base model of the three new mobiles with 5G presents that domino-shaped module that we have been seeing in the 8 series, with a rear occupied by the “Dare to Leap” and a reflective band on one side. The finish is in gloss and has the set of colored reflections that the brand usually puts on all its mobiles, it seems similar to what we saw on the Realme 8 Pro, but glowing in the dark.
As for the screen, the camera peeks through a hole through a 6.5-inch IPS panel with Full HD+ resolution, highlighting that it reaches 120Hz in 120Hz refresh rate. Being IPS, the fingerprint reader is on the side (and has a 3.5 mm jack).
The Realme Q3 is the only one of the three to include a Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 750G. It comes with either 6GB or 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, with Bluetooth 5.1 and USB Type-C.
The battery is 5,000mAh, which as we will see is more than what the Pro features (and tied with the Q3i in terms of battery). Also, it maintains the 30-watt quick charge that the Pro does have, which as we will now also see is superior to the Q3i.
As for cameras, the rear module incorporates a 48MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture lens, a wide-angle 8MP sensor with an f/2.3 aperture lens, and a macro camera with a 2Realme Q3, Q3i, and Q3 Pro: 5G and high refresh rates starting from $200 sensor and f/2.4 aperture lens (surprise). For its part, the front camera integrates a 16MP sensor.
Realme Q3i
In the case of the Realme Q3i we see that rear of the Q2 but in this case completely clear and unoccupied of the “Dare to Leap”. It is a bet very close to what we have seen with the Q3, but it is placed as a more basic proposal cutting in some aspects.
The technical tie is in the cameras, connectivity, fingerprint reader on the side, battery (not charging), and storage, as well as screen size and resolution. But in this case, we see these features:
- The processor is MediaTek’s Dimensity 700
- The screen stays at 6.5 inches with FullHD+ resolution but goes up to 90Hz
- The maximum RAM is 6GB (with a 4GB option)
- Quick charging remains at 18W
As for the front, we also see that the subjective camera (which is the same as the one we have seen, with a 16MP sensor) is also visible through a hole. The fingerprint reader is also on the side and the 3.5 mm jack is retained.
Realme Q3 Pro
The Realme Q3 Pro lives up to its surname and is the top model of these three. Although it maintains the design lines, this time it becomes a sort of hybrid of the previous two and takes the simplicity of the Q3i with only the Q3 logo, dispensing with the glossy band.
The Q3 Pro is also somewhat more compact and lighter, which is probably achieved by cutting down on the battery and very subtly on the screen size. Here we see a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel that reaches 120Hz, also with FullHD+ resolution.
Jumping to the AMOLED, in this case, the power button is standard and does not store a fingerprint reader, because this is integrated into the screen. We do not see minijack, but in return in this case stereo sound is included, which is not bad at all.
The processor, in this case, is the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 and there is a single RAM option, 8GB, with 128 or 256GB storage. In this case, there is also support for WiFi 6, another feature that makes it “more Pro” compared to its siblings.
As we said, the battery is reduced with the other two and remains at 4,500mAh, but with 30W quick charging. And as for photography, in this case, the main sensor is changed by one of 64MP, the front is maintained, and also the macro and wide-angle that we saw in the Realme Q3.
