Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ have officially debuted, offering telephoto lenses – the first of their kind in the numbered series. The duo was first introduced in India, and both versions feature a luxury variant developed in collaboration with Swiss watchmaker, Ollivier Saveo.
Realme 12 Pro
The 12 Pro is equipped with a classic 2x optical zoom for portraits, while the 12 Pro+ is the brand’s first phone to have a periscope lens in front of the telephoto camera.
The Realme 12 Pro features a 6.7-inch curved OLED panel. The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and a touch sampling rate of up to 240Hz. It is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, which has a 2.2GHz processor and Adreno 710 GPU.
The Realme 12 Pro retains the 5000mAh battery capacity from the 11 Pro model and is charged using the 67W SuperVOOC technology. According to official information, it can charge up to 50% in 19 minutes and fully charge in just 48 minutes.
The main camera, with a resolution of 50MP, features OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and a 1/2″ Sony IMX882 sensor. The 2x telephoto lens has a 32MP Sony IMX709 sensor with a 1/2.74″ size. It also includes an 8MP wide-angle camera and a 16MP selfie camera.
The phone comes with Android 14 and the Realme UI 5.0 overlay. Both color variants have eco-leather backs (still made of plastic), and the blue model may suggest a connection to the well-known Rolex brand, although there is no such partnership. The official names of the variants are Submariner Blue and Navigator Beige.
The Realme 12 Pro is available in two memory configurations, both with 8GB of RAM. The 128GB version costs 25,999 INR ($310 / 290 €), and the 256GB option is priced at 26,999 INR ($325 / 300 €). Early access sales start today at 6:00 PM local time (12:30 GMT) with a discount of 2,000 INR ($24 / 22 €).
Realme 12 Pro+
The Pro+ variant features the same 6.7-inch OLED panel with a maximum brightness of 950 nits and a 5000mAh battery with 67W charging, which is a technical downgrading compared to the previous 100W power.
The Realme 12 Pro+ is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip, which works with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The main camera, with a resolution of 50MP and a Sony IMX890 sensor, is the same as the Realme GT3 and GT5 models but with a larger f/1.8 aperture compared to the previous flagship models.
It also features a 64MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom (equivalent to 71mm), f/2.6 aperture, OIS, and a 1/2″ OV64B OmniVision sensor. The 8MP wide-angle camera is shared with the 12 Pro model, while the selfie camera has been upgraded to 32MP with a Sony sensor.
