The Realme 12 Pro Price in Pakistan starts from Rs. 74,999. The base variant of Realme 12 Pro has 8GB RAM and 128GB Storage with Android 14 and comes in Submarine Blue and Navigator Beige colors.
The Realme 12 Pro is better than their older ones. This phone is for people who want a good phone but don’t want to spend too much money. It has new and improved features that make it work well. Now, let’s talk about what makes the Realme 12 Pro special.
Design
The new version of the phone looks similar to the old one, but the company made some changes to make it look nicer. The back of the phone is made of leather, which makes it feel fancy and helps you hold onto it better.
The texture of the back also means you don’t need to put a case on it, but that can make it a bit bigger. However, there are pros and cons to everything. The leather can attract dust and fingerprints, so it’s essential to use it carefully.
Display
The Realme 12 Pro has a display similar to its previous version, with a 6.7-inch curved OLED panel, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a high brightness and touch sampling rate. In 2024, even mid-range phones have good displays, making it difficult for average users to distinguish between flagship and mid-range phone displays. The Realme 12 Pro follows this trend.
The screen has dazzling colors and strong contrast. The colors on apps like Instagram can sometimes appear too saturated, but this can be adjusted in the settings. Dark areas on the screen are very black, and bright sides look excellent.
However, the screen could be brighter in sunlight due to a maximum brightness support of 800nits. The default color tone is cold, but it can be changed to warm in the settings for a more pleasant viewing experience.
By default, the device’s refresh rate is set to Auto, meaning it will automatically adjust between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz based on the content. However, when scrolling on Instagram or Google Discover, the refresh rate is not at 120Hz but stays at 60Hz or 90Hz. To have a smoother experience, users can manually enable 120Hz as the default setting.
Camera
The Realme 12 Pro features a triple camera setup, an improvement from its predecessor’s dual-camera setup. The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX 882 sensor with OIS, a 32-megapixel Sony IMX 702 unit with 2x optical zoom and OIS, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide unit. Unlike other phones, the Realme 12 Pro does not have a macro sensor. The camera performance appears impressive.
Performance
The Realme 12 Pro offers fast performance for most tasks, with smooth app switching and quick launch times. However, it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
Storage
Realme has combined the mid-range SoC with 8 GB of RAM. Although some mid-range phones now offer more than 8 GB, this amount is sufficient for most apps and games. The phone comes in two storage options: 128 GB and 256 GB. It would have been desirable for the 12 Pro to include a microSD card slot.
Battery
The phone has a 5,000mAh battery, which lasts well during heavy and light usage. However, battery life may vary depending on usage. The phone also supports 67W fast charging, with the bundled charger able to fully charge the battery in around 40 minutes from 10 percent.
Conclusion
The Realme 12 Pro is an attractive choice in the mid-range smartphone market due to its sleek design, strong performance, excellent camera features, and durable battery life. It is a worthwhile option for users seeking a cost-effective device.
Moreover, the phone will be available to buy online soon on websites like OLX, Daraz, and PriceOye. You can also find it in other popular online stores in Pakistan. For the latest phones, smartwatches, and tablets, check out the best deals, coupons, offers, comparisons, reviews, and more!!!
