Other Realme 12 5G specifications (expected)

• From Malaysia's SIRIM certification, we gathered the Realme 12 5G marketing name.
• As per the FCC listing, we understand the phone will feature Realme UI 5, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.
• The TUV Rheinland listing reveals the phone was tested with a 4,880mAh battery that could be marketed as a 5,000mAh cell.
• On the back of the phone, we are expecting a large circular camera module similar to its predecessor. The Camera FV5 listing tells the phone could sport a f/1.8 aperture, a 5.2mm focal length rear camera and a selfie snapper with a f/2.0 aperture and a 2.6mm focal length. There won't be any optical image stabilisation here. So, it could be an affordable handset.
