Realme 12 Pro+ review

This review just seems compelled and biased
You criticize the main cam and the processor when phones like the A54 has both of it inferior and started of more expensive ?
I have no problem with pointing out all the shortcomings, but then make sure to keep this fault-finding energy for every device

    3 major Camera sensor vendors(Sony, Samsung, OminiVision)
    and half-a-dozen display panel vendors.

    All smartphones are made from a combination of these. If you have reviewed these components in other smartphones, they pretty much behave the same in other smartphones.

    It has become boring in a way. There hasn't been anything exciting other than more performance/watt every few years.

      I find it weird that they didn't test the portrait mode, since through ads/marketing, the 12 series is described as "portrait master". And with that periscope, I sure do think that it takes some good portraits

They also got rid of proper HDR check for the screens, GFXBench for the GPU benchmarks and even the photo/video compare tool. These reviews are a shadow of what they used to be...

          Anyway, the only thing I like about this phone is the comeback of Telephoto lens to the midrange segment. Should have never been a "flagship" feature. And I find it way more useful than the macro and ultrawide cameras.

            Anyone else noticed how it's written 5th of February for the publishing date, even though it's the 16th today?

              The main and ultrawide camera sensor on this Realme 12 pro+ is the same as that on Oneplus 12R. That's why so much detail in shots. The color rendition should be improved with updates. The 64 MP 3x zoom and 32 MP selfie is the same as on Oneplus 12.

                Is it just me..... or this review feels awfully short compared to the usual GSMA reviews?

                From a 1-minute skim I can already spot some missing parts that are usually mentioned like color accuracy in the display part, and lack of portrait mode testing. The short paragraphs don't help either.
