Design
I like the design of the Realme 10 Pro very much due to its minimalistic look. It does not have a camera island, but it replaces it with two small and circular camera modules placed directly in the rear cover and with a flash LED on the right. Given that there are only two cameras on the rear side, it looks very elegant and minimalistic. Further, it has flat borders just like the devices from the latest iPhone lineups. However, the Redmi Note 12 Pro is still a beautiful phone, especially if we consider its original color options such as the violet one. Further, it is splash resistant and dust resistant with the IP53 certification, so it is interesting even in terms of build quality.
Display
If you want the most advanced display, you must choose the Redmi Note 12 Pro without thinking twice. In this duo, it is the only one with an OLED display, and this is already enough to let you prefer this device instead of the Realme 10 Pro. But besides that, it is also a great panel when it comes to the rest of the specifications. It is a display with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 900 nits, and an under-display fingerprint reader. Unfortunately, the Realme 10 Pro has an inferior IPS panel. It is a display with a diagonal of 6.72 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 680 nits.
Specs & Software
The most powerful hardware department belongs to the Redmi Note 12 Pro. It has a better Dimensity 1080 chipset by Mediatek, built with a 6 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. The SoC is composed of two Cortex A78 performance cores running at a maximum frequency of 2.6 GHz, six Cortex A55 efficiency cores running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G68 MC4 GPU. The phone offers up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. The Realme 10 Pro has an inferior Snapdragon 695 5G chipset by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz alongside up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of native storage. But the Realme 10 Pro has two important advantages: the presence of a micro SD slot and Android 13 out of the box instead of Android 12.
Camera
The Redmi Note 12 Pro sports a superior camera setup: it is composed of a 50 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2 MP macro lens. The Realme 10 Pro has just two cameras on the rear side: a 108 MP main sensor without OIS and a 2 MP macro lens.

Battery
The battery capacities of these two handsets are exactly the same: 5000 mAh. But the Redmi Note 12 Pro provides a longer battery life thanks to the presence of more efficient components, especially the OLED display. Further, it charges quicker thanks to 67W fast charging. The 5000 mAh battery of the Realme 10 Pro supports 33W fast charging.
Price
The starting price of the Redmi Note 12 Pro roughly translates into $269 or €269, while the Realme 10 Pro starts from €220 or $220. The Redmi wins the comparison due to its better display, cameras, and faster charging.
