It seems that Realme almost does not take a vacation at any time at all, even though we are still at the beginning of 2024, but the company does not seem to have taken a vacation at all, as it is active and is still launching many phones in various price categories. The appointment this time is with a distinctive phone in the middle category, which is Realme 12 Pro.
In this article, let us learn together about the specifications and price of the Realme 12 Pro and all the features of the phone, in addition to a comprehensive user guide for everything related to the device, in addition to a comprehensive review in which we explore together what the phone offers to the user and what are its advantages and disadvantages that the user must live with, in addition to a comprehensive evaluation of the device. We conclude from it whether the phone is worth buying or not. This comes after we tested the phone for several days, during which we explored all its aspects and got to know it more.
The company equipped the phone with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, which supports a resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, supports FHD+ quality, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The screen is protected from any possible scratches or shocks by a glass protection layer. A fingerprint sensor is integrated under the display.
There is a waterdrop-shaped notch at the top of the screen that houses a 16-megapixel front camera that supports 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second. We also have a triple rear camera consisting of a 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, a 32MP telephoto sensor, and finally we have an 8MP ultra-wide lens.
The Realme 12 Pro phone is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, based on the 4nm manufacturing architecture. Buyers can choose between versions of the device with 8GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, the memory cannot be expanded using a microSD memory card.
The phone derives power from a 5000 mAh battery that supports fast charging with a capacity of up to 67 watts, a capacity that can charge the phone from 0 to 50% in 19 minutes, while the phone takes a full 40 minutes to be fully charged. There is a USB Type C cable in the phone box to connect the charger. It is worth noting that there is no 3.5 mm port for connecting a headphone, but in return we have stereo speakers.
The phone runs on the Android 14 operating system, which is based on the proprietary Realme UI 5.0 interface. The device is available for retail in two different colours, blue and grey.
The price of the Realme 12 Pro is $310 for the standard version 8 + 128 GB, while the top version 8 + 256 GB is priced for only $325. The phone was unveiled on January 29, 2024 and officially reached market and store shelves on the same day of launch. It seems that it will be launched in most global markets, as it has already arrived in India, and you can get to know the phone more closely here.
Realme 12 Pro is a very ideal phone if you are a user who does not care about the photography experience nor fast charging. It is an excellent choice if you are looking for a flawless performance experience with usual daily tasks, social media applications, etc. It is a device with a simple concept and does not promise much as it comes in an economical price segment targeting low-income consumers.
