IN PICS | Realme 12+ 5G First Impressions

The Realme 12+ smartphone, which was launched on Wednesday (March 6) is a well-rounded smartphone that does not burn a hole in the pocket.

The starting price of Realme 12+ 5G is Rs 20,999 for the 8GB RAM/128GB storage model.

Thanks to its big circular camera module and leather rear panel, the Pioneer Green variant of Realme 12+ exudes a premium feel. This not only enhances the phone's premium appearance but also shields it from smudges and fingerprints.

The inclusion of both a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot enhances the practicality of the Realme 12+.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED display of the Realme 12+ supports FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, which is great for gamers and content enthusiasts alike.

The handset comes pre-installed with the latest Android 14 OS with realmeUI 5 atop. It does have a considerable amount of bloatware, including the "hot app" and "hot games."

Equipped with a new 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with optical image stabilisation, the phone captures impressive photos across various lighting conditions.

The Realme 12+ has flat sides with a plastic frame, and it lacks comfort due to its sharp edges, which can dig into your palms during prolonged use.

Despite its hefty battery capacity, the phone remains lightweight, tipping the scales at under 200 grams.
