Realme 12 Pro

Realme 12 Pro is the sibling of newly launched Realme 12 Pro+. The mid-range smartphone is the toned down version of the Pro+ variant that includes leather finish back panel, support for 67W fast charging

Realme 12 Pro design

Featuring a luxury watch design, the smartphone looks premium with the blue leather finish and golden accents. The Submarine Blue variant is a brilliant colour variant in my opinion and it even comes with IP65 rating. It is slim (8.7mm) and weighs 196g that makes it handy as well

Realme 12 Pro display

Realme 12 Pro comes with a 120Hz 6.7-inch AMOLED display that offers up to 800 nits of peak brightness that makes it easy to use the phone even in outdoor settings. The display offers crisp and sharp colours that makes the cinematic and gaming experience good

Realme 12 Pro performance

Realme 12 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset and offers up to 8GB RAM with 256GB of internal storage. While the chipset is not exactly top-notch in the segment, but if you are not into heavy gaming, you won’t regret buying this one. It runs on Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14 out-of-the-box. The 67W fast charging support also allows users to juice-up the phone quickly

Realme 12 Pro camera

It comes with a 50MP triple rear camera setup that manages to capture decent shots with sharp details and good colour accuracy. However, that won't be the case with a low-light setup. It will lose out on details and will not offer the same colour accuracy

Realme 12 Pro price, competition

Realme 12 Pro is launched in two storage variants: 8GB RAM+128 GB storage: Rs 25,999 and 8GB RAM+256GB storage: Rs 26,999. Competitors of Realme 12 Pro are Redmi Note 13 Pro, Oppo Reno 11, Poco X6 Pro

Realme 12 Pro verdict

Realme 12 Pro is a good mid-range smartphone that includes stunning design, fairly capable camera, decent performance and good battery life. If design and camera are your priority, you should go ahead with this one, if not, you will get more options in this price segment
