realme 12 Plus 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Realme 12+ should appeal to you if you are looking for a smartphone under Rs 25k with an attractive back panel, decent performance, excellent battery life, and a respectable viewing experience. It even comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack - so, go ahead and jack it up with your wired headphones/ earphones.
Pros
- Striking design
- Nice display
- Smooth performance
- Long-lasting battery life
Cons
- Ultrawide & macro cameras could have been better
- Some pre-installed apps
Design and display
+
The Realme 12+ boasts the same vegan leather back design as the Pro models. However, there are a few noticeable changes. The curved screen has been ditched for a flat one, and so are the edges. Additionally, there is no fluted bezel around the circular camera module at the back. Despite that, the phone still looks gorgeous. The handset comes in two colourways: Navigator Beige and Pioneer Green.

Cameras
+
The Realme 12+ ships with a similar camera setup as the Pro models, except for the telephoto lens. Instead, the smartphone features a 2MP macro sensor for close-up shots. This is accompanied by a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. Up front, the handset sports a 16MP snapper in the punch-hole setup for selfies and video calling.

Performance and software
+
The Realme 12+ is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, which can be found in several other smartphones, including last year's Realme 11 Pro. Not much has changed for the chipset since its launch; it offers smooth performance without any crash or app freeze issues. Additionally, the handset hardly throttles under intense load and doesn't stutter while running graphically demanding games such as Call of Duty. There is a noticeable spike in temperature, which isn't really concerning given this isn't a gaming-centric smartphone. The handset features vapour cooling tech to keep its thermals under check.

Battery and charging
+
The Realme 12+ packs a 5,000mAh battery, which delivers an impressive backup. On the PC Mark battery test, it displayed a run time of 17 hours and 24 minutes. Additionally, streaming a 30-minute 4k video with 50 percent brightness and volume level saw just a 2 percent drop in the phone's battery level. This suggests that the handset should comfortably last well over a day with moderate to heavy usage.
