The new realme 12+ 5G phone is coming on March 6 in India. Realme says this phone will have great cameras and design for a low price. It will be one of the first realme phones to have optical image stabilization (OIS). This helps take better pictures when it’s dark and makes videos less shaky.
While realme hasn’t shared all the details yet, leaks show the 12+ 5G will have some nice features for a cheap phone. This includes a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED screen, up to 12GB RAM, and the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip with 5G. The big 5,000mAh battery should last all day, and 80W charging promises to juice it up super fast. Storage could be up to 256GB depending on the final models.
The 12+ 5G keeps realme’s fun colors, with a cool new green faux leather back and big circular camera bump. This look really stands out from the 12 Pro+’s luxury gold watch stripes. realme says the cameras and processing are “unseen” even in more expensive flagship phones.
The launch event may also show a regular realme 12 without the “Plus.” It would drop some top features but still have 5G and other modern basics. With an expected price under ₹15,000, the non-Pro 12 could make must-have phone features affordable for everyone.
Key Features and Specifications
The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chip inside the realme 12+ 5G should give good enough performance for most things you want to do. Its 6-core CPU runs on advanced 6nm manufacturing for the right mix of power and efficiency. Gamers will like the Mali G57 graphics that promise smooth visuals and play.
The stunning 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen makes everything look fantastic. With a silky 120Hz refresh rate, animations and motion flow super smoothly. Over 1000 nits peak brightness means excellent outdoor visibility. HDR10+ support lets you enjoy incredibly vibrant, dramatic colors and contrast.
The main 50MP Sony camera now has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for better low light shots and stable video. Combined with multi-frame processing, your photos should come out sharp with great detail and range even in tricky conditions. Realme’s software tricks let you zoom up to 6x without losing quality.
A big 5000mAh battery keeps things running through the day and maybe even into the next for lighter use. 67W rapid charging fills you up in just 26 minutes from zero to 50% charge based on official numbers.
Leaks say the 12+ 5G will have up to 16GB RAM for smooth and easy heavy multitasking. With up to 256GB fast UFS 2.2 storage, you’ll have ample room left for apps, media, games and files.
Software Features
Realme may include custom tools to let you tweak the 12+ 5G’s display just how you like it. A Hollywood cinematographer partnership could also let you use pro camera filters with distinct color styles.
Other Rumors
More subtle colors beyond the eye-catching green seem guaranteed. Rumored base model pricing of around Rs. 17,999 means tremendous value if true. Box contents may include a free case for protection from everyday wear.
Launch Date, Pricing & Availability
As shared by realme itself, you can expect the 12+ 5G in India on March 6, 2024 with an online launch event at 12 PM.
If leaked Rs. 17,999 starting tags are accurate, the Plus variant massively undercuts the competition on cost while exceeding many in key hardware areas. The regular realme 12 could dip to just Rs. 12,999 perhaps continuing series pricing trends.
Both new phones should be on sale post-launch from realme’s official online store plus major channels like Amazon and Flipkart. Key offline outlets and brick-and-mortar shops should also stock units for hands-on before you buy.
Exciting debut promotions like cashback or free accessories might accompany the budget flagships. With category-leading cameras, slim builds and that tiny price, the realme 12+ looks set to shake up the sub-20K space.
By packing must-have latest features like 5G, fast charging, fluid screens and stabilized shooting into shockingly affordable units, the 12-series aims to redefine value. If they can pull off this ambitious balance come March 6, rivals should watch out.
