Editorial report

Realme 12 8 GB / 512 GB / India technical sheet

The Realme 12 suits people looking for a slim, light phone; its main camera compromise is the lack of optical image stabilization. At 7.7 mm thick, it is among the thinnest phones of its time, and its 188 g weight is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. Those are clear design advantages for anyone prioritizing a slender build and a lighter handset.

The 6.72-inch IPS LCD display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage; the Realme 12 is also sold in configurations ranging from 6 GB / 128 GB to 12 GB / 512 GB. Storage is expandable. The Dimensity 6100+ reaches 2.2 GHz and scored 442,599 in AnTuTu v10, while the battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh and supports 45 W fast charging.

The camera’s 108 MP resolution is among the highest of phones of its time. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps, but has no optical image stabilization. The phone also has IP54 resistance, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its display, performance, battery and connectivity are typical overall among phones launched around the same time. With a NeoScore of 5.7, the Realme 12 is a sensible fit for those who value a slim, light design and high camera resolution.
