If you are searching for someone explaining to you all the main differences between these three variants, you are in the right place.

Design

These three phones look very similar if we talk about the design, but there is a better one in this comparison. It is the Realme 10: while the rear sides of these phones are almost identical, the 4G variant is the only one with a punch-hole display. All the other variants come with an ugly waterdrop notch on the screen. Just because of that, the Realme 10 is the most beautiful one. But that is not all, it is also the most compact of the trio because it is equipped with a smaller display. This said, there is no much more to say about the minimalistic designs of these phones.

Display

Besides having the best design, the Realme 10 also comes with the most advanced display panel. Indeed, it is the only one with a Super AMOLED panel, showing more vivid colors and deeper blacks thanks to this technology. It is a display with a diagonal of 6.4 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a 90 Hz refresh rate, as well as a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. The Realme 10 5G and the Realme 10s have the same display: a wider panel with a diagonal of 6.6 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 90 Hz refresh rate, but it is an IPS LCD display and not an AMOLED one.

Specs & Software

The most advanced hardware is the one found on the Realme 10s. First of all, it has a better processor: the Dimensity 810 built at 6 nm and sporting the 5G connectivity and an octa-core architecture. The Helio G99 found on the Realme 10 is slightly more powerful than the Dimensity 700 found on the Realme 10 5G, but only the latter supports the 5G connectivity. On all of these phones, the most advanced memory configuration comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. Further, all of them run Android 12 out of the box, customized by Realme UI 3.0. And they will most likely get two years of major Android updates.

Camera

There are very marginal differences between the cameras of these devices, but if you want the best rear camera setup, then you should go for the Realme 10 5G. Besides the 50 MP main camera and the 2 MP macro shooter also found on the other handsets of the trio, this phone adds a depth sensor. On the other hand, the vanilla Realme 10 has a better selfie camera with a 16 MP resolution instead of just 8 MP.

Battery

These three devices feature exactly the same battery, with a capacity of 5000 mAh. The battery supports 33W fast charging able to reach 50 percent of charge in 30 minutes. Despite the battery capacity being the same, the Realme 10 is able to last more on a single charge because its display is more efficient.

Price

Realme 10 starts from $245/€230, Realme 10 5G from $191/€180, and Realme 10s from $160/€150. Which one would you pick?
