Earlier this month, Oppo debuted the F27 Pro+ smartphone (full review) in the Indian mid-range segment. The device has landed in the sub-₹30,000 price range, which places it against competitors like the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and the Realme 12 Pro Plus 5G. Since we have already compared the F27 Pro+ against the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, we will put it against the Realme 12 Pro Plus 5G in this article.

Design

While the Realme 12 Pro+ 5G offers a well-balanced set of features, Oppo has particularly emphasized the design aspect of the F27 Pro Plus—and it’s not just about aesthetics. The F27 Pro Plus is the first smartphone in India to feature an IP69 (and IP68) water and dust resistance rating. This is the highest IP rating available, meaning the device can withstand complete submersion in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes and endure close-range exposure to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, such as those from a hose.

Moreover, the device’s body has a military-grade shock resistance certification (MIL-STD-810H) and is constructed with a 360° Armour Body for superior drop protection. In addition to this touch exterior, Oppo has provided a vegan leather finish to the device.

The Realme 12 Pro Plus also comes with a vegan leather back, however, it only features an IP65 dust and water resistance, which means that the device is dust-tight, however, it cannot withstand submersion or high-pressure water jets. On the front, the device comes with a secondary tempered high-strength glass, which falls behind in comparison to the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the Oppo F27 Pro+.

Display & performance

Both smartphones feature Curved AMOLED displays measuring around 6.7 inches. Both offer an FHD+ resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and a peak brightness of 950 nits. Both feature an under-display fingerprint sensor.

As for specifications, the Oppo device comes with a Dimensity 7050, while the Realme offering has a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip. Surprisingly, these chips are not that far apart in performance, however, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 has a 26% lead in multi-core performance. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is also slightly better for gaming than the Dimensity 7050.

Both devices ship with a maximum of 256GB storage, however, the Realme offering has a 12GB RAM variant while the Oppo device comes with 8GB RAM. So in terms of daily performance, users won’t notice a difference, however, the Realme 12 Pro Plus will give a slightly better performance in intensive tasks like gaming. As for the battery, both devices offer the same 5,000mAh capacity with 67W fast charging support.

Cameras

The camera department is where the Realme 12 Pro Plus 5G pretty much outclasses the Oppo F27 Pro+. It comes with an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor, an OIS-assisted 64MP OmniVision OV64B 3x periscope telephoto shooter, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 32MP selfie camera.

In comparison, the Oppo F27 Pro+ only has two cameras at the back, which includes the 64-megapixel primary and 2-megapixel marco sensors. For selfies and video calls, you get an 8-megapixel camera.

Pricing

The Oppo F27 Pro+ 5G is available in two storage options: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage, priced at ₹27,999, and 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, priced at ₹29,999. In contrast, the Realme 12 Pro Plus is offered in three memory configurations in India: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage for ₹29,999 ($360), 8GB RAM with 256GB storage for ₹31,999 ($385), and 12GB RAM with 256GB storage for ₹33,999 (~$410). However, the 8GB RAM with 256GB storage variant of the Realme 12 Pro Plus is currently available at a discounted price of ₹29,999 for a few more days, matching the price of the Oppo F27 Pro+ 5G.

Verdict

The Realme device is an overall better offering, mainly due to its powerful camera system, It also has a slightly better processor that will be a better pick if you like to game on your smartphone. The display and battery are identical.

That said, if you are looking for a phone that can withstand harsh weather and some accidental drops, then there is no better option than the F27 Pro+ at this price range.

Realme is reportedly working on a couple of new smartphones for different markets. Today, the brand confirmed the arrival of the Realme GT 6 for the global market. This device could be a rebadged edition of China’s Realme GT Neo 6. The brand is reportedly developing two phones for the Chinese market: the Realme 13 Pro series and a distinct Realme GT 6. The latter is said to be a flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which may debut in July to rival the likes of the Redmi K70 Ultra, OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, and iQOO Neo 9s Pro+. As far as the Realme 13 Pro series is concerned, it may launch as early as next month in China. A recent report by 91mobiles has revealed the configuration, color options, and model number of the Realme 13 Pro+.

Realme 13 Pro+ configurations, color options (rumored)

According to reports, the upcoming Realme 13 Pro+ will feature the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, which is yet to go official. The new report by the publication reveals that the Indian version of the Realme 13 Pro+ has the RMX3921 model number and will be available in two color variants, Monet Gold and Emerald Green.

When it comes to configuration, the Realme 13 Pro+ is tipped to arrive in four options in India. These include: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 12GB+512GB. At present, there is no information about the price of the device.

The Realme 12 Pro+ debuted earlier this year and is the company’s first non-flagship phone to feature a periscope telephoto camera. To be precise, it has a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

The Realme 13 Pro+, on the other hand, may come equipped with a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The less powerful Realme 12 Pro featured a telephoto camera instead of a periscope camera. Therefore, it is uncertain if Realme will include a periscope camera in the Realme 13 Pro.

Realme launched the realme 12 Pro series back in January this year with a design inspired by luxury watches. Today, on April 1st, the company has launched its “AIGC Elimination” feature for the series, which will be rolled out through OTA updates gradually.

To use this feature, you just need to go to “AIGC Elimination” inside the editing option and circle the object that you want to remove from an image. The AI powered system will automatically recognize and remove the object. Realme says that this AI feature has already started rolling out in the US and Japan.

Realme 12 Pro Plus vs Galaxy S21 fe: Design and Colors

Realme 12 Pro Plus:

Looking at the design of this smartphone, it’s easy to say that the design team at Realme did a great job. The back panel of this device comes with an impressive finish and a distinctive stripe that runs down through its middle. Its flat edges add a bit of flare to its design, giving onlookers something to gaze upon.

Being a newer design, its design is far more aesthetically pleasing than the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, as this device was launched about two years ago. For most users, the curved screen on the Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus gives it an edge over its rival in this article. The color options on the Realme 12 Pro Plus are also quite impressive and pair well with the contrasting stripe that runs down the device’s rear panel.

Galaxy S21 FE:

At this moment, it is easy to say that the design of this device has fallen into the shadows considering its age and the design upgrades Samsung now offers its buyers. But one fact remains that the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a very simple device that suits those who don’t want something shouty. It features the design that was launched with the Samsung Galaxy S21 series.

However, the Galaxy S21 FE does things a little differently from the other S21 devices. It’s a bit more subtle, replacing the metal camera cutout on its siblings with a plastic cutout. Its flowing design makes it easy to grip as well, and its color options are eye-catching and impressive.

• A more impressive design on the Galaxy S21 FE.
• Curved screen display on the 12 Pro Plus.
• Lots of shiny metal parts on the Realme 12 Pro Plus.

Since the Realme 12 Pro Plus is a newer device, it brings a newer processor as well as other newer components.

In terms of design, the new Realme 12 Pro Plus is a better pick, but for a touch of simplicity the Galaxy S21 FE does it better. You can also expect better performance from the Realme 12 Pro Plus, as well as a more solid battery life and faster charging speeds. So which is it going to be for you, the new gods or the old gods?

The collaboration of Mirana and Realme for the upcoming 12 Pro series results in the inclusion of three movie filters, such as Journey, Memory, and Maverick. These filters, which draw inspiration from classic movies like “Life of Pi,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” aim to evoke various atmospheres—dreamy, calm, capable, and retro with a cinematic feel.

Realme is gearing up for the imminent launch of its 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ smartphones. Ahead of the launch, the smartphone brand has started to generate hype by tasing its partnering with a luxury watch company.

Leaked images suggest that the brand in question is Rolex, and Realme will be making a custom variant of the Realme 12 Pro+ smartphone featuring blue leather and gold accents on the back. The phone maker initially teased the collaboration, which revealed its partnership with luxury watch designer Ollivier Saveo, using a crown emoji reminiscent of the Rolex logo.

The leaked teaser image also hinted at a significant date, the 28th, on the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, suggesting a potential launch date of January 28. In addition to the luxury collaboration, the Realme 12 Pro series is anticipated to introduce a periscope camera, as revealed in various teasers.

Although the listings provided crucial information, it is worth noting that the chipsets’ names are typically not revealed in TENAA certifications.

According to tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Realme 12 Pro will feature the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. The same chip powers the likes of the Vivo Y100i Power, the iQOO Z8x, and the Honor X50, which are available in the Chinese market.

Realme is gearing up to debut the Realme 12 series in the coming weeks. The brand’s next-gen number series phones are expected to launch in India by the end of January at the earliest.

However, there’s a chance of these handsets going official first in China. They have now been listed on TENAA revealing their design.

Realme 12 series to look like Realme GT 5 Pro

The Realme 12 series is anticipated to include three models, namely Realme 12, Realme 12 Pro, and Realme 12 Pro Plus. The latter two with model numbers RMX3843 and RMX3841 have appeared on TENAA.

The live images suggest that the devices will feature a design similar to the flagship Realme GT 5 Pro. They will house a giant circular camera module and will be available in leather finishes.

Just like their predecessors, the phones will also flaunt a curved display. They will also retain the vertical line that runs along the rear of the handsets equally dividing them into two.

As far as specifications are concerned, the Realme 12 Pro Plus is tipped to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, which is present inside the rival Redmi Note 13 Pro. Whereas, the Realme 12 Pro is said to be run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip.

Both of them are expected to arrive with a proper useful camera system comprising wide, ultrawide, and zoom units. The Pro Plus has been confirmed to sport an OIS-assisted 64MP Omnivision OV64B periscope telephoto camera. On the other hand, the Pro will come with a 32MP Sony IMX709 2x telephoto camera.

On the very first day of the year 2024, Realme’s social media handles in India and Indonesia released a teaser image, indicating an upcoming announcement on Jan. 3. Given that this date is just a day before Jan. 4, when the Redmi Note 13 series is set to launch in India, it seems likely that Realme might confirm the launch date for the Realme 12 Pro series on Jan. 3.

Realme 12 Pro series could be launching soon

The arrival of the Realme 12 Pro series seems imminent, as the 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ handsets have already been approved by certification platforms in India and Indonesia. Both devices have appeared with respective model numbers, such as RMX3840 and RMX3842.

Additionally, certification platforms in other nations, such as the UAE and Malaysia, have approved the Realme 12 Pro series smartphones. Unfortunately, none of the certification listings have revealed the key specifications of the Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+.

It is speculated that the Realme 12 Pro series could be equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Both phones are expected to sport a curved-edge OLED panel that offers a 120Hz refresh rate.

The 12 Pro is said to feature a 32-megapixel IMX709 telephoto camera that offers 2x optical zoom. On the other hand, the 12 Pro+ will arrive with a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

Indian smartphone brands are preparing for a wave of new releases in January 2024. Redmi is set to reveal the Note 13 series on January 4, while Vivo will introduce the Vivo x100 lineup. Poco is expected to launch the Poco X6 series, and Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S24 lineup in the Indian market. Realme is also adding to the excitement by teasing the impending launch of a new smartphone.

Realme’s next smartphone will be launching soon in India

Realme’s teaser image reads, “No Periscope. No Flagship,” which could mean that the brand will launch a flagship phone with a periscope telephoto camera. Earlier this month, Realme launched the Realme GT 5 Pro (model number: RMX3888) as its first-ever flagship phone equipped with a periscope telephoto camera. 

There is a possibility that Realme may launch a mid-range smartphone featuring a periscope telephoto camera typically found in flagship devices. According to reports, the upcoming Realme 12 Pro+ is rumored to be equipped with an OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. This high-end camera is also available on flagship models like the OnePlus 12, iQOO 12 series, and Vivo X100. In contrast, the Realme 12 Pro is expected to sport a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

While the Realme GT 5 Pro is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the Realme 12 Pro lineup may feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC. It is worth nothing that the GT 5 Pro hasn’t appeared in the database of India’s BIS certification. On the other hand, the Realme 12 Pro+ and 12 Pro have RMX3840 and RMX3842 have both received BIS certification, indicating that these devices may launch soon in India.

As per a leak by tipster Abhishek Yadav, the Realme 12 Pro+ is slated for announcement either by the end of January 2024 or in February. For a more accurate understanding of the teased Realme phone’s specifications and features, it is recommended to await additional reports and updates as they become available.Top of Form

Redmi is set to launch the Redmi Note 13 series of smartphones globally on Jan. 4 India will be the first market outside China to receive the Note 13 lineup on that date. Subsequent releases are planned for other markets. As the global market prepares for the Note 13 series, a Chinese tipster has claimed that the brand is preparing to unveil the Note 14 series for the domestic market.

Realme 12 Pro vs Redmi Note 14 Pro likely to happen soon

Recent reports have revealed that Realme plans to unveil the Realme 12 series of smartphones in the first quarter of 2024. The Realme 12 lineup is likely to include multiple models, but the rumor mill hasn’t revealed significant details yet. However, reports have provided key details about the Realme 12 Pro series.

The Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ are expected to feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Speculations suggest that the rear camera setup of the Realme 12 Pro will include a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. The Realme 12 Pro+, on the other hand, is said to be equipped with a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

According to a Chinese leaker, the Realme 12 series, particularly the Pro lineup, will face competition from the Redmi Note 14 series. The Redmi Note 13 series was unveiled in China in September, so the company will likely maintain a six-month gap before announcing the Redmi Note 14 lineup. This suggests that it could debut in the first quarter of 2024, possibly in February. The tipster claimed that the Note 14 series will have a curved-edge display, some flagship-level features, and the same price range as the Realme counterparts. The Note 14 series will also decentralize some of the camera features that are available on the company’s flagship smartphones.

Unfortunately, there is currently no information available about the Redmi Note 14 series’ specifications. With the rival brand aiming to introduce telephoto and periscope telephoto cameras on the 12 Pro series at a price of around 2,000 Yuan (~$280), it is possible that the Redmi Note 14 Pro could feature a telephoto camera, while the Note 14 Pro+ could have a periscope telephoto camera. It is too early to speculate on the specifications of the Note 14 lineup, so it is advisable to wait for further reports before making any assumptions.

In India, the brand recently unveiled the Realme C67, which is the company’s first-ever C-series phone with 5G support. It appears that the company may not have any plans to launch any new smartphones in the remaining 15 days of the year 2023. However, it is expected to start the year 2024 with a bang, as it is rumored to launch the Realme 12 series and the Realme GT Neo 6 in the Chinese market.

The Realme GT 5 Pro is the company’s first smartphone to feature a periscope telephoto camera. It features a Sony IMX890 periscope zoom unit that supports up to 3x optical zoom. Some of the other flagship phones, such as the OnePlus 12 and the iQOO 12 series, are equipped with the OmniVision OV64B 64-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that offers up to 3x optical zoom.

As per recent reports, Realme will incorporate the flagship-level OV64B periscope zoom unit into its upcoming Realme 12 Pro series of smartphones. Tipster Digital Chat Station has once again reiterated that the mid-range camera-focused phones will be launching soon.

Realme‘s flagship GT 5 Pro smartphone is now official, and the company might be turning its attention to the Realme 12 series next. While details about the series are still scarce, two new phones — Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ — have recently been certified by the BIS in India. A vanilla Realme 12 is also expected to be in the works.

Realme 12 Pro, 12 Pro+ BIS certification

Both the Realme 12 Pro and Realme 12 Pro+ received the BIS certification on December 8th, 2023 with model numbers “RMX3842” and “RMX3840” respectively. 

The model number “RMX3840” is purportedly the Realme 12 Pro+, and it has also appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI certification platform. While the model number “RMX3842” is expected to be the Realme 12 Pro. Unfortunately, the certifications don’t reveal much else about the devices.

Previous reports suggest that the Realme 12 Pro Plus will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and sport a 64MP OmniVision OV64B 3x periscope telephoto camera as its primary shooter. Meanwhile, the Realme 12 Pro is expected to be equipped with a 32MP Sony IMX709 2x telephoto lens.

The Realme number series has a history of directly competing with the Redmi Note lineup. This time, the Realme 12 series will likely go head-to-head with the Redmi Note 13 series, which has already launched in China and is expected to make its global debut soon.

More information about the Realme 12 series is expected to come out in the coming days. With the launch of the Realme GT 5 Pro out of the way, we can also expect the Realme 12 series to be launched by the end of this month. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Earlier today, Realme held a press conference in China to announce the periscope zoom camera used by the upcomirng Realme GT 5 Pro. At the end of the event, the brand also revealed that a similar camera will be offered on its next-gen number series smartphone as well.

Following this, a reliable leaker has now disclosed the chipset powering this number series model. Let’s check out what he has to say.

According to Digital Chat Station, the Realme 12 series will be powered by the recently announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. He also adds that the lineup will popularize the 64MP OmniVision OV64B 3x periscope telephoto camera, which the brand had already officially confirmed.

The said SoC and camera are expected to be featured on the forthcoming Realme 12 Pro Plus. On the other hand, the same tipster had earlier revealed that the Realme 12 Pro will be equipped with a 32MP Sony IMX709 2x telephoto shooter.

The Realme number series is known for going head-to-head with the Redmi Note lineup. Going by the camera specs, the Realme 12 series will have a huge advantage in the zoom department over the Redmi Note 13 family which does not offer a dedicated zoom camera.

We are looking forward to learning more about these smartphones in the coming days. Going by the official confirmation from the brand, the phones are probably only weeks away from the launch.

The Realme 12 series will likely be released a few days after the debut of the Realme GT 5 Pro.

Realme is gearing up to launch the Realme GT 5 Pro in China as its next-gen flagship smartphone. Ahead of that, the company has been teasing the features of this device.

Earlier today, the brand held a press conference in China to talk about the handset’s periscope zoom camera. At the event, the company revealed that a similar camera will be also offered on its upcoming number series phone.

Let’s go through the details shared by Realme.

Realme confirmed that the Realme GT 5 Pro will be equipped with a periscope zoom camera. The device will use a 1/1.56-inch 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor.

This sensor will be paired with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and will support software-based EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization). Finally, it will allow users to click pictures with up to 120x magnification (digital).

At the very end of the presentation, Realme disclosed that the GT 5 Pro will not be the only phone from the brand to use a periscope camera. The company will use a similar camera on one of its number series devices as well.

This less-expensive handset will be fitted with an OmniVision OV64B sensor. Unfortunately, this is the only information Realme has shared so far.

As per leaks, this more affordable phone will be Realme 12 Pro Plus. It is expected to offer 3x optical zoom, just like the Realme GT 5 Pro.

Realme says that the GT model will offer a leading zoom camera experience. On the other hand, the number series handset will popularize zoom cameras.

The brand is yet to announce the launch date for either of these products. But we are certain that the GT 5 Pro will be made official in the next few days.

Realme is gearing up to launch the new Realme 12 series of mid range smartphones soon. But prior to any official announcement, a new leak has revealed certain camera details regarding the Realme 12 Pro and Realme 12 Pro+.

Realme 12 Pro series telephoto camera specs revealed

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims that the Realme 12 Pro models will feature a periscope telephoto camera. In his Weibo post (a Chinese microblogging website), the company has revealed the optical zoom capabilities of the two upcoming devices. The latest leak hints that the Realme 12 Pro will feature a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 telephoto sensor that offers 2x optical zoom. Meanwhile, the Realme 12 Pro+ model will feature a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera that could offer 3x optical magnification.

Previously, the tipster had stated that the mid range smartphone series will launch for a sub 2,000 Yuan price range (roughly 273 US Dollars). Based on what we know so far, a concept render of Realme 12 Pro+ model has hinted at its design as well. The smartphone appears to have a large camera island module on the back, which houses two cameras along with a rectangular cutout for the periscope telephoto lens. In other words, its design is similar to the previous generation Realme 11 series. Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates. Keep in mind that the leak is also unconfirmed so take this report with a pinch of salt for now.

Realme GT 5 Pro and Realme 12 Pro+ smartphones that are expected to launch this year are expected to come equipped with a periscope telephoto camera. While the GT 5 Pro will be a flagship phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the Realme 12 Pro+ will be a mid-range offering. A tipster from China has shared a render of what appears to be one of these smartphones. In addition, tipster Digital Chat Station has tipped the expected price of the Realme 12 Pro+.

Alleged Realme 12 Pro+ render

In the above-shown concept render, a Realme phone can be seen sporting a large round camera island. Inside it, there is an LED flash, followed by two cameras and a rectangular periscope telephoto camera. The Weibo user who shared the above image claims that it is the Realme GT 5 Pro. However, since the design aligns with the circular camera island available on the likes of the Realme 11 5G and Realme 11x 5G, it seems that the image may belong to the Realme 12 Pro+.

Alleged Realme 12 Pro+ price tipped

Based on a recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered Realme GT 5 Pro will feature a high-quality periscope telephoto camera.

He also claimed that Realme will also launch a phone with a periscope in the price range of 2,000 Yaun (~$273). To recall, the base model of the Realme 11 Pro+, featuring 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, is priced at 2,099 Yuan (~$287). Hence, it appears that the tipster may have given a hint about the Realme 12 Pro+.
