Realme 10 Pro+ just made its debut in the Chinese market and it will come very soon in the global market starting from India. It is a mid-range phone looking like a flagship thanks to its stunning design, but it comes with a very high value for money.

Design

There is no challenge if we talk about the design: the Realme 10 Pro+ beats the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ 10-0. It comes with a very thin design including a curved screen at the edge just like the most expensive Android flagships, as well as great color options including the Star Light one with a very original texture. It is thinner, lighter, and even more compact than its rival. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is not only bigger but also way thicker and uglier. However, it is built with premium materials including a glass back and an aluminum frame. Further, it has the IP53 certification thanks to which we can say that it is dust resistant and splash resistant. So, with this phone you get a very high build quality, but not the best design.

Display

There are no huge differences between the displays of these two devices and they are more or less at the same level. We are talking about two AMOLED panels good for a high-end phone, but not the best out there. With the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus, you get an AMOLED display that is able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 900 nits, HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision support, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Realme 10 Pro Plus has an AMOLED display with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 HZ refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Both phones are equipped with stereo speakers and they include a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

There are no differences between the hardware departments of these two handsets if we consider the most expensive memory configurations. They are both powered by the Dimensity 1080 chipset by MediaTek: a midrange processor built with a 6 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of two Cortex A78 CPUs running at a maximum frequency of 2.6 GHz, two Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G68 MC4 GPU. Alongside the chipset, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, but there are options with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Note that Realme 10 Pro Plus ships with Android 13 out of the box, while the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus runs Android 12.

Camera

The Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus is the winner of the camera comparison simply because it sports a better main camera. We are referring to a 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL sensor with OIS, paired with an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera, as well as a 16 MP selfie shooter. The Realme 10 Pro Plus has the same secondary sensors and the same selfie snapper, but the main camera is a 108 MP shooter without OIS.

Battery

The battery life provided by these two devices is similar as they both come with a 5000 mAh battery and they have similar components. But the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus charges quicker thanks to 120W fast charging.

Price

You need just €230/$230 to purchase the Realme 10 Pro Plus (128 GB), while the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ starts from €339/$339 (256 GB). The latter wins the comparison due to better specifications, but the former has a higher value for money.
