Dev, 20 Mar 2025"Nobody uses a phone for me than 3 year" - Realme... moreThis is a bad strategy. First of all, many people may indeed want to use the phone for longer than 3 years as hardware capabilites have matured and the processors, displays, memories of today are so good even in the mid-range phones that they can support software to come for a long time. Most of today's mid-high end phones such as P3 Ultra (25-30K price range) are clocking Antutu scores of close to 1.5 million, have large 6.7 inch plus Amolded displays and memory of at least 8 GB and ROM space of around 256 GB (which Apple is finally giving in 80K phones only from iphone 16 series). Thisn is plenty of capability and these phones are probably running using 25% of their capability for 99% of the users. That means, the phones can easily support software evolution for most users for next 5-6 years. They will probably use 75% of the phone's capability after 5 years and may on going on using it for another 2-3 years more also.

Just google it for yourself to learn more. It's not harmful or radioactive to cause harm to body and face. Actually these type of glow elements are smeared by artists to perform dance in the dark.

      I am glad I did not buy the P3 Pro 2 weeks ago. I ordered it and it arrived at home, but I rejected the sale when the Flipkart agent low balled the exchange price on my existing phone. Now P3 Ultra has been launched and it is costing almost. in the same price range (Maybe 2K more than the P3 Pro). For that extra 10% cost, we get stunning processor that is almost twice as fast and also a better cleaner looking camera design. Do so bought the P3 pro probably are feeling cheated. I have just ordered the P3 ultra in the blue, weak and leather finish. The lunar glow is Gimmicky and who knows what material say use? Not sure if it's safe to have such luminous materials near one's body and face all the time.

            "Nobody uses a phone for me than 3 year" - Realme

            Is that what they want or what we want because I wouldn't mind using the latest flagship currently for the next 5 years.

              Eyaddy, 20 Mar 2025So the Realme P3 Ultra is a cheaper OPPO Reno 13 Yes, but i guess the p3 ultra is india exclusive unlike the reno 13

                          There. I fixed it for you. Now you know why realme is e-trash.

                          If only they allowed bootloader unlock by default like xiaomi does, then realme could become the world leader of smartphones.

                            Realme boasts a high screen to body ratio of 93.8% while gsmarena specs and my own calculation match to 90.4%

                            Is realme lying?

                              "ultra" phone doesn't even have 4k video recording on front camera. Truly a realme moment.

                                I love how gsmarena keeps pretending everyone is interested in realm-e-waste and keeps promoting it through exclusive rumors, hands-on articles and every-day-news.

                                  It's not at all a bad phone, it's just how bad the term "ultra" feels when used so carelessly, not to mention the uber cringe marketing they made for this.

                                  8350 is not a bad SoC at all but still a severe farcry from "ULTRA". Got a feeling it's priced weirdly too... Idk

                                  AND USB 2.0, bruh... It's just bad communication.

                                    This Is Not The First Realme Ultra Smartphone the Realme 7 Pro Ultra Grabs That Title

                                      Don't worry, the glow in the dark feature will be enabled via software update later /s

                                        Balanced specs, but not even close to be an Ultra. At best, a Pro Plus Max.
