Because of its polycarbonate unibody, poor IP54 water resistance, and absence of MIL-STD-810H certification, the Realme P3 5G suffers in durability. While inadequate thermal management speeds battery degradation, hence lowering capacity retention below 75% in 18 months, structural flaws cause microcracks under torsional stress. Made of low Mohs hardness glass, the display scratches readily even with an oleophobic coating. The P3 5G shows poor design when compared to the Realme P3 Pro 5G, which has better environmental resistance and build quality. For consumers looking for long-term dependability, its concessions in material strength, protection, and lifespan make it a poor choice.
