Weekly poll: Realme 10 Pro and Realme 10 Pro+ global sales start soon, who is getting one?

The Realme 10 Pro and Pro+ are making their global debut with sales set to start next week. Are you interested in picking one up? The vanilla Realme 10 failed to attract many fans, but the Pro duo is much more capable. Let’s have a closer look.

The Realme 10 Pro will start at $320 for an 8/128GB unit, the Pro+ model will be $380/€380 with the same memory configuration. In India, the 10 Pro will have 6/128GB memory and will start at ₹19,000, the Realme 10 Pro+ also loses two gigs of RAM and the base model costs ₹26,000 (sales on Flipkart start on December 16 and December 14, respectively).

Realme 10 Pro and Realme 10 Pro+ prices for India

The price gap in India is over 35%, so the Pro+ better have something to show for it. Compared to the regular Pro, it has an AMOLED display instead of IPS LCD (both 120Hz FHD+), however. It is a higher quality display – it renders 10-bit colors with 100% DCI-P3 coverage and is brighter to boot (800 nits vs. 680 nits).

Another crucial difference is that the Pro has a flat display; the Pro+'s display is curved. Neither has strengthened glass, though (and neither phone has an IP rating).

The Pro+ model also has a more powerful chipset, the Dimensity 1080 beats the Snapdragon 695 in CPU and GPU tests. On the downside, only the Realme 10 Pro has a microSD slot and a 3.5mm jack.

At a glance: Realme 10 Pro and 10 Pro+

Both phones use a 108MP main camera with an ISOCELL HM6, a 1/1.67” sensor with 0.64µm pixels and 9-in-1 binning support. The Pro+ also features an 8MP ultra wide camera (112°). Both phones have 16MP selfie cameras.

One final advantage for the Pro+ – while both phones have 5,000mAh batteries, the plus model supports a higher charging rate, 67W, compared to 33W for the regular Pro (neither has wireless charging).

Worth 35% extra? You tell us, but before we get to the voting, we should cover the competition first. And as you can imagine, it depends on where you live.

The global Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ has a similar 6.67” 120Hz AMOLED display, and while it uses the older Dimensity 920, the speed disadvantage isn’t huge. This one does have a microSD slot, 3.5mm jack and even an IP53 rating and Gorilla Glass 5. The 4,500mAh battery is smaller but charges faster at 120W. The Note 11 Pro+ is €380 on the official site, but it can easily be found for €350.

There is also a version for India, which switches over to the slower Snapdragon 695 chipset, and the battery is 5,000mAh with 67W charging. This one is ₹20,000, so it’s more of a Realme 10 Pro competitor (except it has an 8MP ultra-wide camera and other advantages over the regular Pro).

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G • Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (India) • Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

A Samsung Galaxy A53 5G has a 6.5” 120Hz AMOLED display (not a 10-bit panel, though), also with Gorilla Glass 5 and a more serious IP67 rating. The Exynos 1280 chipset is a bit slower than the Dimensity, but you do get expandable storage (no 3.5mm jack). The main camera has a less impressive 64MP main sensor, on the plus side, it has OIS. The ultra-wide module has a 12MP sensor and a wider 123° lens. The 5,000mAh battery supports relatively slow 25W charging.

Still, you will be getting 3 OS updates (starting with Android 13) and 5 years of security patches. The phone can be found for under €350 in Europe, but it is fairly pricey in India.
