Realme has added a new member to its 12 series lineup with the launch of Realme 12+. The phone is initially available in the Malaysian and Indonesian markets, offering several enhancements over its predecessors.
Design and Display
The Realme 12+ continues the design language of its siblings, featuring a sleek and modern look. It boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The display also includes a centered punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera and an optical fingerprint sensor that doubles as a heart rate tracker. The rear panel features the same vegan leather finish and a circular main camera setup, similar to the Realme 12 Pro and Pro+.
Internals and Software
Under the hood, the Realme 12+ is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. However, there is no option for storage expansion via a memory card slot. The phone runs on Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0 on top, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.
Cameras
In terms of camera capabilities, the Realme 12+ sports a large camera island on the back, housing a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with an f/1.88 aperture and a 26mm equivalent focal range. The camera offers 2x in-sensor zoom and a dedicated portrait mode with support for optical image stabilization (OIS). Additionally, the rear camera setup includes an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, the phone features a 16MP selfie shooter housed within the punch-hole cutout.
Battery and Pricing
Powering the Realme 12+ is a 5,000 mAh battery, which offers long-lasting battery life. The phone also supports 67W wired charging, allowing users to quickly top up their device. The Realme 12+ is available in Navigator Beige and Pioneer Green colors in Indonesia, with a starting price of $267, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
