Realme‘s flagship GT 5 Pro smartphone is now official, and the company might be turning its attention to the Realme 12 series next. While details about the series are still scarce, two new phones — Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ — have recently been certified by the BIS in India. A vanilla Realme 12 is also expected to be in the works.
Both the Realme 12 Pro and Realme 12 Pro+
received the BIS certification on December 8th, 2023 with model numbers
“RMX3842” and “RMX3840” respectively. The
model number “RMX3840” is purportedly the Realme 12 Pro+, and it has also
appeared on Indonesia’s SDPPI certification platform. While the model number
“RMX3842” is expected to be the Realme 12 Pro. Unfortunately, the
certifications don’t reveal much else about the devices.
Previous reports suggest that the Realme
12 Pro Plus will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor and sport a
64MP OmniVision OV64B 3x periscope telephoto camera as its primary shooter.
Meanwhile, the Realme 12 Pro is expected to be equipped with a 32MP Sony IMX709
2x telephoto lens.
The Realme number series has a history of
directly competing with the Redmi Note lineup. This time, the Realme 12 series
will likely go head-to-head with the Redmi Note 13 series, which has already
launched in China and is expected to make its global debut soon.
More information about the Realme 12
series is expected to come out in the coming days. With the launch of the
Realme GT 5 Pro out of the way, we can also expect the Realme 12 series to be
launched by the end of this month. We’ll keep you updated as more information
becomes available.
