realme 12 Pro Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
Realme 12 Pro does a lot of things right and can easily be described as the best-designed phone in its price segment. The phone's telephoto camera lets you click some impressive shots and in terms of display and charging speed, the phone is as good as the competition. However, if you're looking for long-term usage, the recently released POCO X6 5G comes with a better processor and could be a better fit.
Pros
- Premium luxury watch-inspired design
- Telephoto camera is impressive
- 67W charger bundled with box
- Display quality is good
Cons
- Peak brightness of the display
- Processor could have been better
Design and display
+
In terms of design, the Realme 12 Pro is not your run-of-the-mill mid-range smartphone by any stretch of the imagination. Improving on the foundation laid down by the Realme 11 Pro, the handset comes with a head-turning 'Luxury Watch Design' that has been developed in collaboration with International Luxury Watch Designer Ollivier Savéo. The Submarine Blue colour variant that we received looks gorgeous from all angles and comes with a golden fluted bezel around the camera setup, which gives it a distinct look. With a vegan leather back, the phone is easy to grip and doesn't accumulate fingerprints, which is a huge relief in comparison to phones with plastic or glass back panels. With a thin curved frame, the handset is easy to hold and carry around too.

The Realme 12 Pro comes with an IMX882 50MP primary camera with OIS support. Its 1/2-inch sensor features a focal length equivalent to 26mm and an f/1.8 aperture. The brand says this lens is ideal for capturing expansive shots under both daylight and low-light conditions. With the large aperture, the primary sensor is said to permit ample light, improving image clarity. In my experience, the handset clicked some impressive shots in both daylight and low-light conditions. The handset captured details well and the colour reproduction was on point too. While I think the edge detection could have been better, the overall image quality was pretty decent.

Realme 12 Pro comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, fabricated on a 4nm process. This octa-core processor comes with four high-performance A78 cores, clocked at 2.2GHz and four efficient A55 cores, clocked at 1.8GHz. In our testing, the phone managed to get an AnTuTu benchmark score of 5,64,897, as you can see in the screenshot shared below.

Battery and charging speeds
+
The Realme 12 Pro comes with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W SUPERVOOC charging. I managed to charge the device from 0 to 100 percent in less than 45 minutes, which meant that I could simply plug it in before getting ready for the office and by the time I was ready, the device was fully charged. This made the process of charging extremely convenient for me, and the 5,000mAh battery capacity ensured that the phone lasted a normal day's use with ease as it gave me around 6-7 hours of screen-on time.
