Display

Realme has taken a giant leap from the previous generations when it comes to the display on both Realme 10 Pro and Realme 10 Pro Plus. Pushing the limits of an LCD display, the Realme 10 Pro offers a 6.72-inch FHD+ panel with a class-leading 93.7 percent screen-to-body ratio. The company has managed to achieve this by shrinking the side bezels to just 1mm and the top bezel to 1.5mm using the RAZR technology. With 120Hz refresh rate support, the display can switch between various refresh rates depending on the content that is being viewed. Lastly, the Realme 10 Pro comes with TUV Rheinland low blue light certification to reduce stress on the eyes when using the device for long durations.

The Realme 10 Pro Plus features a curved 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz 10-bit AMOLED panel that supports HDR10+ with 800 nits of brightness. Apart from the display’s curvature, the main highlight of Realme 10 Pro Plus’s display is the bottom bezel which measures just 2.33mm, while the side bezels come with a thickness of 1.41mm. Realme has also added India’s first 2160Hz high-frequency dimming technology to the display for a comfortable viewing experience in dark environments.

Running under the hood of the Realme 10 Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset which is the same chipset carried over from the Realme 9 Pro. The Realme 10 Pro Plus on the other hand gets a brand new chipset at its helm which is the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 1080 5G SoC.

The Realme 10 Pro comes in variants of 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM and 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM with both variants having UFS 2.2 storage speeds and LPDDR4X RAM.
