    Biggest Sore Loser: Identity Crisis

      I can't really say that realme has that many winners but there are some like the GT6 series(I can't really consider it a winner or a loser) the 13 series I don't really see the purpose of it because most people will prefer a DSLR camera not a midrange phone with some good cameras(the Chipset isn't that great so photo processing won't be that close to DSLR cameras level) and the GT7 pro is a good phone but in my opinion I see that it's on the same level as the IQOO 13

          GT6 series shouldn't be losers - while they didn't bring too much improvement, you can't argue that they still deserve better (especially when you gave Samsung S24 the winner title!) Maybe neither winner nor loser instead.

          Realme 13 Pro should instead be the loser, you can clearly see how they downgraded the camera, UFS, update support (12 Pro will get 3 os updates and 4 year security update, this only gets 2+3) and nothing so much more.

          Yeah probably the worst winners and losers list yet.

            The Realme Note 50 is definitely a winner.
            Had I not already purchased a phone for my mother I wouldn't had purchased one of these for her, and I almost purchased one for my brother. It's so cheap! And good despite the cheap price.

                    AtomicMarrow147, 01 Jan 2025Realme p1 and p1 pro was a very great phones. UFS 3.1 UNDER... moreThe software on these phones is not optimized. So UFS 3.1 was wasted on laggy buggy software.

                      Realme p1 and p1 pro was a very great phones. UFS 3.1 UNDER 15k.
                      12 pro plus sold more than 13 pro plus
                      From indian perspective. that list is bad

                        i am using realme 12 pro plus. wasn't expecting this to be a loser. but yes, it has flaws compared to other midrangers like low brightness, no gorilla glass protection, and no hdr (was there initially, but removed later). But about camera, charging speed and battery backup, i am quite satisfied. introduced macro shot in this latest update, this is praiseworthy. hope realme brings all the features and improve camera quality (especially when using filters) in the upcoming updates. this phone is a midranger. hope to have features of a midranger device. 😑

                            "360-degree NFC"

                            This is unexpected and extremely convenient for NFC users.

                              Horrible takes. Must be a rage bait

                                Realme 13+ Pro doesn't deserve to be a winner. It's barely even an upgrade over the 12 Pro+, and it's priced the same as the Xiaomi 14T and Vivo V40 in my country.

                                I know it's supposed to be a camera-focused phone, but $430 for SD 7s Gen 2 and 8MP ultrawide is a joke.

                                Also, Realme Note 50 a winner? Are you kidding me? 😂
                                Pretty much all of Realme's low-end offerings are ODM crap also spewed by Oppo and Vivo.

                                  yeah Realme GT 6 is the loser because the stock has run out in Indonesia.
