Pros

Human Checked Mobile Phone Pros&Cons With Quality Mark
Camera
The new midrangers seem to be getting new, more potent camera setups, nicer chipsets from Qualcomm, and even better displays.
The Realme 12 Pro+ is still catching up, and the biggest upgrade is undoubtedly the camera hardware.
The new Realme gets a proper telephoto camera, a periscope lens with 3x zoom at that.
Performance
The newer device now offers a more potent Snapdargon 7s Gen 2 chipset as well based on a more modern 4nm manufacturing process.
Design
It maintains a balance between boldness and subtlety, with well-placed ports, buttons, and a convenient in-display fingerprint scanner.
Display
Last year's curved 120Hz OLED panel is perfectly fine in 2024 as well.
Battery
The device also retains its slick design with vegan leather and the 5,000 mAh battery.
Battery life is considerably above average too.
Cons
Human Checked Mobile Phone Pros&Cons With Quality Mark
Camera
Perhaps in order to accommodate the pricier 64MP periscope telephoto camera, Realme had to compromise with the main camera. [source: gsmarena]

Display
Maybe the maximum brightness falls a bit short to competitors' solutions, but it's still good enough for comfortable outdoor use. [source: gsmarena]

The display is largely unimpressive too. [source: m]

Battery
Unfortunately, the latter now charges with a 67-watt brick, down from the 100W charging from last year. [source: gsmarena]

Price
It may be a bit hard to justify the higher price tag compared to its predecessor. [source: m]

Software
The main 200MP shooter is replaced with a 50MP one with a slightly smaller sensor too. [source: gsmarena]
