After completing the Realme 12 Pro series, the Chinese phone maker has finally unveiled the vanilla Realme 12 in India, making the family a four-strong group. As expected, the Realme 12 is an entry-level model that cuts corners to keep the price down.
The Realme 12 boasts an LCD panel sized at 6.72 inches diagonally. It features 1080p resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 950 nits. The overall design is almost the same as the Realme 12 Pro alternatives.
Notably, this marks the debut of Realme’s Dynamic Button feature on a smartphone. The power button, which also serves as a fingerprint scanner, offers versatility by toggling between seven functions, such as launching the camera app or activating do not disturb mode with a long press, similar to the iPhone’s Action Button.
At the device’s core is MediaTek’s Dimensity 6100+ processor, accompanied by either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, expandable via the microSD card slot.
For software, you get Android 14 with Realme UI 5 on top.
Realme opted for a dual-camera configuration on the rear, featuring a prominent 108MP ISOCELL HM6 main sensor with an aperture of f/1.75 and 9-to-1 pixel binning, enabling 3x in-sensor zoom. Accompanying this primary sensor is a 2MP depth sensor to assist with capturing depth information.
The selfie camera inside the punch-hole cutout is an 8MP shooter.
There is a 5,000 mAh battery onboard with support for 45W wired charging that enables quick top-ups.
Realme 12 has a starting price of only $205 in India and is available in Twilight Purple and Woodland Green colors.
