Editorial report

Realme 12 4G technical sheet

The Realme 12 4G suits buyers who want a slim, light phone with a particularly bright display. Its main drawbacks are an AnTuTu result and connectivity that both rank worse than those of most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED display reaches 2000 nits peak brightness, higher than that of most phones from its time. It also has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1080 × 2400 px resolution. The body weighs 187 g and is 7.9 mm thick, making it lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. Its protection rating is IP54.

The 67 W fast charging is more powerful than that of most phones launched around the same time, while the battery capacity is 5000 mAh. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685; its AnTuTu result of 347,480 is lower than that of most phones from the same period. The 50 MP camera includes optical image stabilization, but its f/1.9 aperture is less favorable than that of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity also ranks worse than that of most phones from its time.

This version pairs 8 GB RAM with 256 GB storage; the Realme 12 4G is sold in configurations from 8 GB / 128 GB to 8 GB / 512 GB. With an overall NeoScore of 5.9, it is suited to buyers who prioritize a bright screen, a slim and light body, and fast charging, and can accept a modest AnTuTu result.
