Weekly poll: Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ pre-bookings are almost over, who is getting one?

04 February 2024
With upgraded cameras and chipsets, plus an IP rating, the 12 Pro pair looks much better than the 11 Pro duo.

Sort by:

I could have bought it if the SoC had been a Snapdragon 7 Gen3 and if the screen went up to at least 1200 nits (I live in a sunny region)

      Last thing. I compared my real me 11 pro camera with my friend s iphpne 14 max pro. And my daughter I think 12. Real me is more colour correct. Iphone makes sky fery Bleu and could not Like in real life.

      My daughter wants to just show off her apple phone, I do nit care, passed that stage.

      Apple video on phonevi thinknlityle better. Not so much or very noticabke to me!

      But!!! IPhones have just awfull battery l8fe and slow charging!

      So believe me real me 11 or 12! Good phone! Nothing more to it.

        I am a no gamer. I am kinda rich. And I do not notice the difference between an expensive phone or a cheap one! I do not care about status.. Whatsoever. So I got myself a real me 11 pro. Not the plus but the cheaper one. The phone makes great pictures, my friends do not see the difference getween pictures of an exprnsive phone and my phone. Neither do I.

        Next thing is rhe battery kife is good. Fast charging grey handy, so I think a good phone.

        Now the chip set. No idea what chipset is in my phone but to me.... It is great.

        High refresh rate I switched off because I do not see the diffetence. Useless feature.

        Now the screen. Looks fine to me. Viewing angles? I do not watch my screen in an angel. Just hold it jyst 20 cm in front of my nose, never tried to view the screen in an angle.

        Will I but the 12? No... I know that I will not notice any difference. So why should I?

        That's my short review.

        If I was in need of a bew phone... Sure I would consider more 12.

        What could be better? Maybe very fery fast charging. Of very big gattery.

          These Chinese companies don't care about the European market. And when they launch their products they price them twice as much as in China. That's why Apple dominates sales here

            Definitely will get one because I am a light gamer who is poor and need to experience new techs. Meanwhile Apple & Samsung only allow the rich people to experience new techs.

              Anonymous, 04 Feb 2024Boring And still the same spec's since a53We can't say it's the same specs but yeah quite minor changes. A new camera and new chipset though

                    I've never been a fan of midrange phones . I'd rather buy a 2-3 year old high-end flagship and still get better hardware .

                      Mills, 04 Feb 2024On one hand, Realme 12 Pro series has a periscope telephoto... moreFor a midranger you can't expect perfection everywhere. You compromise on something at least, some phones compromise on display, some on cameras, some on processing power, some even on design yk. I think these are pretty good for photography centric buyers.

                        I live in France and I'm waiting to know if the 12 Pro and Pro+ become available in my country ....

                            Invetor, 04 Feb 2024These realme phones will cater to a very specific audience ... more196 grams is hardly lightweight given its plastic construction.

                            If 8.8mm is slim, then what do you call phones like the Mi 13 Lite with only 7.2mm thickness? Btw, the S24 Ultra is 8.6mm so the Realmes are thick.

                            A big nope too for you saying Realme phones have clean ui. Aside from the usual bloatware ala coloros, there are also system ads now on realmeui.

                                Who wants to "pre-book" Realme phones when the prices will go down in just a few short months?

                                  Will probably wait for the A55

                                      Another alternative is the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, with a Dimensity 9300 and 50MP ultrawide camera.
