Realme 10 Pro vs. Redmi Note 12 series
Since the Redmi Note 12 lineup’s smartphones are anticipated to be priced in a range similar to Realme’s offerings, they will compete with the Realme 10 Pro series in India. January 9 marks the debut of Realme 10 4G in India. Realme places a lot of emphasis on both design and display, hence the Realme 10 Pro+ has a curved 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen whereas the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is probably going to have a flat 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen. In terms of cameras, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ has a 200MP primary camera with OIS, compared to the Realme 10 Pro+’s 108MP main camera without it. The MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC and a 5000mAh battery power both devices.
When comparing the Realme 10 Pro and Redmi Note 12 Pro. It can be seen that the former has a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD screen while the latter is anticipated to have a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with support for a 120Hz refresh rate on both devices. The side and top bezels of the Realme 10 Pro, in contrast, are incredibly tiny.
In terms of optics, the Redmi Note 12 Pro has a 50MP IMX 766 sensor with OIS, whilst the Realme 10 Pro has a 108MP main sensor without OIS and a 2MP secondary lens. Realme chose to equip the Realme 10 Pro with the Snapdragon 695 from last year, whilst Redmi’s phone has the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC. As a result, both phones have distinct powerhouses.
