Realme recently declared that through the Q series, it will try to lead the market in the midrange segment by providing a stunning quality-price ratio. A few days ago, the Chinese giant launched the new lineup from the series composed of the Realme Q3 5G, the Realme Q3 Pro 5G, and the Realme Q3i 5G. We can definitely say that the brand kept the promise and launched three devices with an incredibly high value for money. Do you want to know the differences between each of these three devices? Go ahead and read this specs comparison.

Realme Q3 5G vs Realme Q3 Pro 5G vs Realme Q3i 5G

Design

The Realme Q3 5G and the Q3i 5G offer more or less the same design, with the same size and similar weight, as well as a very similar look if we exclude the color variants. Despite the Realme Q3 Pro 5G is not a premium device when it comes to aesthetics, it is actually more attractive than Realme Q3 5G and Q3i 5G because of a lighter, thinner, and more compact design. Further, the camera module is smaller and less invasive, while the display takes a higher portion of the front panel thanks to narrower bezels.

Display

Realme Q3 Pro 5G is again a way better device, even if we talk about the displays. The Realme Q3 Pro 5G is the only one to offer an AMOLED panel, so it is able to show more brilliant colors and absolute blacks. Further, it comes with an in-display fingerprint reader and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Realme Q3 5G and Q3i 5G are both equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and an average IPS display with a 6.5-inch diagonal and a Full HD+ resolution, but they have different refresh rates: the vanilla Realme Q3 5G has 120 Hz, while the Realme Q3i 5G has just 90 Hz.

Hardware/Software

While the Realme Q3 5G and Realme Q3i 5G are mid-rangers, the Realme Q3 Pro 5G is closer to flagships because it is powered by the great Dimensity 1100 chipset which is actually the best processor released by MediaTek after the Dimensity 1200. The chip built with a 6 nm production process is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Right after, we got the Realme Q3 5G with a cool Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G chipset, while Realme Q3i 5G is the inferior one with its Dimensity 700. All the phones run Android 11 out of the box, with the customizations of Realme UI 2.0.

Camera

The Realme Q3 Pro 5G has the best camera setup because it comes with a better main camera: a 64 MP sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture. The vanilla Realme Q3 5G has the same secondary sensors as the Pro variant (an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera), but the main sensor has a 48 MP resolution. The Realme Q3i 5G lacks the ultrawide camera and replaces it with a 2 MP depth sensor paired with a 2 MP macro camera and a 48 MP main camera.

Battery

Realme Q3 Pro 5G loses the fight when it comes to the battery. Realme Q3 5G and Q3i 5G are superior battery phones because they come with a capacity of 5000 mAh, while Realme Q3 Pro 5G has just 4500 mAh. With Realme Q3 5G and Q3 Pro 5G you get 30W fast charging, while Realme Q3i 5G has just 18W.

Realme Q3 5G vs Realme Q3 Pro 5G vs Realme Q3i 5G: Price

Realme Q3 5G is priced at €170/$205 in the Chinese market, Realme Q3 Pro 5G starts from €210/$255, and Realme Q3i 5G costs just €130/$157. While the Pro version is the most advanced one in terms of specifications, there is not a definitive winner when it comes to the value for money. All of these devices make a lot of sense for their price segments, but the flagship chipset of the Realme Q3 Pro 5G as well as its AMOLED display makes it more attractive. Which one would you pick?
