Realme 3 price in Malaysia starts from RM599, which puts it firmly in budget territory alongside a MediaTek P60 chipset and Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. You get either 3 GB RAM with 32 GB storage or 4 GB RAM with 64 GB storage, and there's a dedicated microSD slot if you need more room beyond that. The 6.22-inch IPS LCD runs at 720 x 1520 resolution, which is fine for everyday scrolling and video but won't match sharper panels at this price point.

Battery life is where this phone tries to earn its keep: a 4230 mAh cell should get most users through a full day without much stress. On the camera side, there's a dual setup on the back with a 13 MP f/1.8 main sensor paired with a 2 MP depth sensor for portrait shots, plus a 13 MP front camera for selfies. It ships with Android 9.0 Pie under ColorOS 6, and there's a rear fingerprint sensor for basic security.
