The realme 12+ 5G (RMX3867) promises a lot: a stunning 108MP camera, blazing-fast 5G speeds on both SIMs, and a long-lasting battery. Having spent several weeks testing the Middle East version of this device, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This review dives deep into its performance, camera capabilities, and overall user experience.

Key Features

The realme 12+ 5G is packed with features designed for a smooth and enjoyable user experience. The standout feature is undoubtedly the 108MP triple camera system with 3X zoom. Picture quality is impressive, even in low-light conditions. The in-sensor zoom technology truly delivers on its promise of crisp, detailed zoomed-in shots without noticeable pixelation. Beyond the camera, the dual 5G SIM support with dual SA modes offers seamless connectivity, and the 5000mAh battery with 45W SuperVOOC charging keeps you powered up throughout the day. The 120Hz AMOLED display is vibrant and responsive, making everything from gaming to browsing a pleasure. The dual stereo speakers with Hi-Res Audio certification provide a rich and immersive audio experience. The personalized dynamic button adds a layer of convenience.

Performance & Battery Life

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor and 8GB of RAM, the realme 12+ 5G handled day-to-day tasks with ease. Multitasking was smooth, and even demanding games ran without significant lag. The 120Hz refresh rate contributes to the overall fluidity of the interface. Battery life was also exceptional. With moderate usage, I consistently got through a full day on a single charge. The 45W fast charging is incredibly convenient, getting me back to full power quickly. In terms of network performance, the dual 5G SIM functionality lived up to expectations, consistently delivering fast download and upload speeds.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Excellent camera system, fast 5G speeds on both SIMs, long battery life, fast charging, vibrant display, smooth performance, immersive audio.
  • Cons: While the camera is excellent, some minor software optimizations could further improve low-light performance. The phone can get slightly warm during extended gaming sessions.

Final Verdict

The realme 12+ 5G (RMX3867) is a compelling smartphone offering a great combination of features and performance at a competitive price point. The impressive camera, dual 5G SIM support, and long battery life make it a strong contender in the mid-range market. While minor improvements could be made, the overall experience is excellent, and I would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich 5G device.
