The Realme 12 Pro+ has officially made its debut in Taiwan, offering flagship-level features such as a periscope telephoto lens at a surprisingly affordable price of NT$18,990. This latest addition to the Realme lineup is a testament to the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality smartphones without the hefty price tag.
A Design Inspired by Luxury
The Realme 12 Pro+ boasts an exterior design inspired by luxury watches, with two color options: Deep Sea Diving and Sky Navigation. The Deep Sea Diving variant features a sleek, deep blue color with a leather-like material on the back, incorporating elements reminiscent of a luxury watch band. The Sky Navigation color option exudes an elegant vibe with its white finish.
The Periscope Telephoto Lens
One of the standout features of the Realme 12 Pro+ is its periscope telephoto lens, a feature typically found only in flagship models. This lens allows for higher optical zoom capabilities while maintaining the phone’s slim profile. The periscope design uses two prisms to reflect light at a 90-degree angle, effectively extending the focal length and achieving optical zoom without compromising image quality.
Camera Specifications and Performance
The Realme 12 Pro+ is equipped with a 6400-megapixel ultra-light periscope telephoto lens, a 5000-megapixel main camera (featuring the SONY IMX890 sensor), and an 800-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. The periscope lens uses the OV64B flagship telephoto sensor, capable of 3x optical zoom, 6x lossless zoom, and up to 120x ultra-long-range zoom. Additionally, it offers an 80mm golden portrait focal length for capturing perfect portraits.
The camera performance is enhanced by the same SONY IMX890 sensor found in the Realme GT5 Pro, paired with a custom-tuned ultra-light engine algorithm developed in collaboration with Qualcomm. This allows for clearer images in challenging lighting conditions such as backlighting and low-light environments, as well as improved anti-shake capabilities.
Imaging Results
Real-world testing shows that the Realme 12 Pro+ excels in both daylight and low-light conditions. The camera captures images with vibrant colors and good dynamic range, maintaining a natural look without overexposure or excessive noise. The phone’s performance in capturing food images is particularly impressive, with warm tones and high saturation making dishes look mouth-watering even without post-processing.
The portrait mode produces natural bokeh effects without obvious artifacts, and the phone’s processing speed remains smooth even in dimly lit environments.
Flagship-Level Specifications
Under the hood, the Realme 12 Pro+ is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, available only in a 12GB+512GB configuration priced at NT$18,990. It features IP65 water and dust resistance, a 5000mAh battery, and supports 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging. The front of the phone sports a 6.7-inch curved screen that is comfortable to hold and not prone to scratching, with a weight of approximately 196 grams.
Launch and Offers
The Realme 12 Pro+ is scheduled to go on sale this Thursday (2/22). During the initial launch period from 2/22 to 2/29, customers purchasing the phone through designated channels will receive a 12-month screen accidental warranty, an extended manufacturer’s warranty, and a chance to win up to NT$12,398 in equivalent gifts. Additionally, Realme brand stores will offer a special trade-in promotion during the launch period, providing an extra NT$3,000 shopping voucher for those trading in their old Realme phones, with some models eligible for up to NT$7,200 in additional vouchers.
With its combination of high-end features and an attractive price point, the Realme 12 Pro+ is poised to make waves in the Taiwanese smartphone market.
