With the mid-range smartphone segment heating up, three strong contenders have entered the Indian market — the Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G, Realme P3 Ultra, and iQOO Neo 10R. Each device packs impressive hardware and features for its price, offering users a mix of performance, design, and value. Here’s how they compare in key areas.
1. Display
All three phones come with AMOLED displays, but there are notable differences. The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G and iQOO Neo 10R offer 6.78-inch flat displays, while the Realme P3 Ultra goes slightly larger at 6.83 inches and features a quad-curved design, which gives it a more premium look.
The GT 30 Pro stands out with a 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for gamers and smooth scrolling. Both Infinix and iQOO offer up to 1,500 nits peak brightness, while Realme is slightly lower at 1,100 nits. For users who value display responsiveness and visibility in sunlight, Infinix takes a slight lead. All three phones feature dual speakers with Hi-Res audio, but Infinix adds DTS audio enhancement for a richer sound experience.

2. Performance
When it comes to performance, all three phones bring flagship-level efficiency to the mid-range segment. The Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G and Realme P3 Ultra are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8350 chip — Ultimate and Ultra versions respectively — while the iQOO Neo 10R stands out with the more performance-focused Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, ideal for gaming and heavy multitasking.
In terms of RAM and storage, all three phones offer up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. However, Infinix uses LPDDR5X RAM and faster UFS 4.0 storage, while Realme also features LPDDR5X RAM but with UFS 3.1. The iQOO Neo 10R offers UFS 4.1 on the 256GB variant and UFS 3.1 on the 128GB model, giving it a storage speed advantage only at the higher tier.
Battery and charging specs are also impressive across the board. The Infinix GT 30 Pro (Indian variant) features a 5,500mAh battery, slightly higher than the global version (5,200mAh), and supports 45W wired and 20W wireless charging — a rare inclusion at this price point. Realme P3 Ultra packs a 6,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, while iQOO Neo 10R leads with a massive 6,400mAh cell and 80W charging. All three phones also support bypass charging, which helps reduce heat during intensive gaming sessions.
In short, iQOO leads with battery size and charging speed, but Infinix strikes a unique balance with wireless charging and high-speed memory at a more affordable price. Realme offers solid middle-ground performance with large battery and premium RAM, making all three competitive depending on what you prioritize.
3. Cameras
The Infinix GT 30 Pro features a 108-megapixel main camera with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, offering high resolution for detailed shots. Realme and iQOO, on the other hand, opt for 50-megapixel main sensors with ultra-wide support — possibly offering better tuning but lower resolution. For selfies, iQOO leads with a 32-megapixel front camera, while Realme offers 16 megapixels and Infinix comes with 13 megapixels. So, if front camera quality is a priority, iQOO might have the edge.
4. Design
When it comes to design, Infinix leans into gaming aesthetics with its Cyber Mecha 2.0 back panel, LED lighting, and physical gaming triggers — a clear appeal to mobile gamers. Realme takes a more stylish approach with a glow-in-the-dark back, while iQOO keeps it subtle with a textured dual-tone design.
5. Final thoughts
While each phone has its own strengths, the Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G offers the best balance of features and pricing. It’s especially suitable for gamers and users looking for a high-refresh-rate display, gaming-friendly design, and strong performance at a lower price point.
The Realme P3 Ultra offers a stylish design and curved display, while the iQOO Neo 10R delivers maximum performance, especially for power users. Ultimately, your choice should depend on whether you prioritize aesthetics, performance, or gaming-focused features
Pricing and value
In terms of pricing, the Infinix GT 30 Pro 5G starts at Rs 24,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant and Rs 26,999 for 12GB + 256GB. That’s great value considering the specs.
Realme starts at Rs 26,999 for 8GB + 128GB, going up to Rs 29,999 for 12GB + 256GB. iQOO Neo 10R is priced from Rs 26,999 to Rs 30,999 depending on the configuration. Infinix offers more RAM and storage at a lower price, making it appealing to cost-conscious buyers.
