5 stand-out features from the realme 12 you must check out!
After the success of the realme 12 Pro+, 12+, and 12 5G in the Philippines, realme is set to shake up the entry-level market with the release of realme 12.
This release comes alongside the ongoing Portrait Master Academy sessions highlighting what the realme 12 can do.
Being an entry-level phone, it provides impressive features for students and adults who do not want to break their wallets. Having tested this phone for a few weeks, we have listed five of our favorite features from the phone that might help you decide if the realme 12 fits you.
Capture your best Angle
One of the most notable features of this phone lies in its cameras. Coming from the 12 series, we expected the cameras would perform generally well just like its predecessors.
The realme 12 sports a 50MP camera with a Sony LYT 600 Sensor paired with Optical Image Stabilization.
As you can see from our sample shots below, the phone can take high-quality portrait shots that appear crisp and vivid. The colors do not look over-saturated and stay sharp even when zoomed in.
Thanks to the Bokeh Algorithm on the phone, there’s decent edge detection and post-processing to make the portrait shots look even more professional.
This might be preferential, but we like taking portrait shots in 2x zoom because of its flexibility and overall look. Good thing you can also do that using the built-in 2x In-Sensor zoom in the realme 12.
In general, the 50MP camera in the realme 12 paired with its LYT 600 sensor performs generally well. It’s a camera you can bust out at work or school to capture memories with your friends and loved ones.
Bright and Vibrant Display
Are you tired of using your phone outside and struggling to see your screen? The realme 12 has a 2,000-Nit Ultra Bright AMOLED display that solves this problem for you. Now you can consume media and view the photos you took under the sun without struggling to see your screen.
Moreover, the phone has a 92.6% Screen-to-Body ratio capable of up to 120Hz Refresh Rate. Now you can enjoy watching videos and scrolling through social media anytime and anywhere.
Furthermore, I’m sure we’ve all been through sudden rainfalls, especially during this rainy season. But don’t worry, the realme 12 has integrated a Rainwater Smart Touch within its display that keeps taps and swipes accurate even when the display or your fingers are wet.
These features might be overlooked easily, but it’s a major quality of life improvement for a regular commuter or a student.
Fast and Safe Charging
With the world becoming more internet-centric, people’s lifestyles also change. In this fast-paced world, we can’t afford to miss out because our phones died and charging takes time. With the realme 12, charging has never been faster and safer with its 67W SUPERVOOC Charging.
With the ability to charge from 0% to 50% in 19 minutes, you can make the most of your device without spending so much time plugged in. Thanks to its Dual Charge Pump Technology, the realme 12 can charge 100% in as fast as 47 minutes.
The brand has also ensured that this charging technology wouldn’t harm the battery in the long run through 38 safety protections embedded in its charging adapter, charging cable, charging interface, and charging circuit.
These methods automatically detect an abnormality during the charging state and immediately turn the 67W charging off.
Now you can make the most of your device without sacrificing its battery life and productivity.
Performance and Storage
I know we’ve been talking about using the realme 12 for productivity, but that’s not the only thing you can use it for. The realme 12 can also satisfy all your hobbies and leisure activities.
The realme 12 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 chipset that allows you to maximize your multimedia consumption. With this chipset, you can multitask and run multiple apps without the phone having trouble keeping up.
This chipset also allows the phone to deliver a smooth gaming experience for your pleasure. While the phone can handle some gaming, its performance also depends on the game you want to play.
Based on our testing of the phone, it had no issues running lighter games like Mobile Legends in its default graphic settings. While it can run heavier games like Genshin Impact, there might be tendencies of frame rate drops as you’re running the game so keep that in mind.
Moreover, it also packs up to 16GB of RAM with up to 8GB of Dynamic RAM Expansion and 8GB+256GB of storage that can accommodate all the photos, videos, and games that you’ll pack the phone with.
For its price point, the realme 12 delivers not just in performance, but also in giving you ample storage to play with. A phone that does not only work for your tasks but also when you want to take a break and chill out.
Price and Availability
The last feature on our list goes to the realme 12’s price and availability.
But before that, let’s review our overall thoughts on the phone so far.
