Realme 3 India launch has been confirmed and while the smartphone is going to be unveiled on March 3 in India, Realme has also confirmed a host of key details of its upcoming handset. The event will take place in New Delhi at 12pm, and the company may live stream the launch.

The AI processing unit (APU) also brings a 10-30% improvement in processing efficiency compared to the Helio P60.
