Of course, the first one in the Realme 3 Pro alternatives list is Redmi Note 7 Pro. Xiaomi was very strategic when launching the Redmi Note 7 Pro as it’s already giving a stiff competition to the Redmi Note 7.

2. Samsung Galaxy A30
Samsung has been trying to keep up with the latest smartphone trends but avoided the notch as well as keeping a tight price. This year, it all changed! With the launch of M series as well as several smartphones under ‘A’ series, Samsung has set its foot in the competitive budget segment. Their latest one – Galaxy A30 offers a lot of similar features like Realme 3 Pro, and so the 2nd alternative for Realme 3 Pro. Why don’t you look at the specifications, and judge it yourself?

3. Oppo K1
Oppo, the sister company of Realme is also known for launching budget-end smartphones but that doesn’t offer much value for the money. This year, even Oppo has become quite aggressive in offering a balanced smartphone that comes under budget. Its latest Oppo K1 is one among them, and we feel it can be the 3rd alternative smartphone for Realme 3 Pro. Let’s check out its specifications, shall we?
Oppo K1 Key specifications
- 6.4-inch [19.5:9] Super AMOLED Display [water drop notch]
- 4/64 GB, 6/64 GB storage variants, expandable up to 256 GB
- Triple SIM Slot [4G LTE / VoLTE +4G LTE/VoLTE + MicroSD]

There are some compromises in terms of SoC, and the OS but the display of Oppo K1 is quite vivid, and the front-facing camera takes stunning selfies. You can purchase Oppo K1 for Rs. 16,990 on Flipkart.
4. Honor Play
Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has seen immense growth in its sales due to the launch of budget-end smartphones. It all started with Honor view 10 which brought the flagship phone for just 30K, and sooner they launched a flagship-level budget-end phone Honor Play to the Indian market. Although it’s 8 months old device, it’s worth purchasing even now as of the flagship chipset. One other reason for considering Honor Play as a Realme 3 Pro alternative is of the price cut. Let me take you through the specifications first.
Honor Play Key Specifications
- 6.3-inch [19.5:9] IPS LCD Display [notch]
- 4/64 GB, 6/64 GB storage variants, expandable up to 256 GB

- 3.5mm headphone jack
As mentioned, the Honor Play runs on a flagship chipset as same as in Honor View 10. With the recent price cut, you can purchase the Honor Play for just Rs. 14,999 on Amazon.
5. Zenfone Max Pro M2
Asus has come into limelight [after a long time] with its Max Pro M1, and the successor Max Pro M2 is also quite a big hit. We’ve had our hands-on Max Pro M2, and also published our opinion, but again, here’re the key specifications of Max pro M2.
Zenfone Max Pro M2 Key Specifications
- 6.26-inch [19:9] IPS LCD Notch display
- 3/32, 4/64, 6/64GB storage variants, expandable up to 2TB

- 3.5mm headphone jack
Although Max Pro M2 is quite old now, the performance and the battery life is way better than a lot of alternatives we mentioned here. The stock camera that comes in is a big drawback, but installing a GCam would fix it. You can get your hands-on Max pro M2 for Rs. 13,999 on Flipkart.
Well, that’s the list of Realme 3 Pro alternatives, and we hope you purchase any one of the above-mentioned smartphone rather than the Realme 3 Pro itself. Let us know if you have any other smartphone in your mind that you believe is value for money, and is a perfect alternative for Realme 3 Pro.
