In a marketplace where mid-range to flagship smartphone cameras compete to replace bulky camera gears for content creators and “social media enthusiasts”, realme introduces the 12 Plus 5G—a device that promises to elevate your photographic journey with its advanced camera system. Here’s a full review of what the realme 12 Plus 5G brings to the table.
The Camera Island – A Central Focus: Center-aligned on the back, the camera module is home to three lenses. This symmetrical design isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s a calculated choice to provide stability and balance for consistent photo quality.
With the primary lens’s bokeh capabilities, you can achieve a shallow depth of field, focusing on the subject while beautifully blurring the background. The virtual aperture can be adjusted to control the depth of field from the shallow and strong effect of f/1.4 to the deeper f/16 with no background bokeh/blur effect.
The 16MP front camera with an f/2.45 lens captures high-resolution selfies. Its advanced software algorithms provide a bokeh effect for portraits, giving your self-portraits an artistic touch similar to the rear camera portrait.
3 cinematic filters of realme 12 Plus 5G’s Camera have been created to create a cinematic film quality portraits inspired by iconic movies: Journey, Maverick and Memory in collaboration with Oscar Winner cinematographer Claudio Miranda who did movies like Top Gun Maverick, Life of Pi and Benjamin Button to name a few. These cinematic filters have unique color grading coupled with cinematic-level bokeh adjustment making every shot feels bigger than life.
The realme 12 Plus 5G camera is built to perform in any light. The primary camera’s large aperture and OIS work in tandem to reduce blur in low-light conditions, aided by a proprietary Night Mode that enhances clarity and detail when daylight fades.
The Pro mode of realme 12 Plus 5G’s Camera is amazing. In addition to the standard ISO, Shutter Speed, EV compensation, and white balance controls, it also can display histogram to guide you in your exposure and a peak focusing guide when you are manually focusing to show you area which are focused.
You have an option to show in JPG or RAW fo those who wants to post process their photos in Photoshop.
Moving into motion, the realme 12 Plus 5G records up to 4K video at 30fps from the rear camera but also do 1080P at 30/60fps and 720P at 30/60fps.
Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) dubbed ‘Ultra Steady’, counteracts handshakes for smoother footage for the main rear camera.
The front can handle 1080p at 30fps and 720P at 30fps video recording.
Aside from the standard Photo, Portrait, Video and Professional Mode, here are the other functions:
Night Mode – improves photos by 14% in low light situations by longer exposure and with OIS in the main camera
The Realme 12 Plus 5G isn’t just another smartphone—it’s a masterpiece co-created with the expertise of luxury watch designer Ollivier Savéo. It flaunts design elements inspired by high-end timepieces, such as the polished sunburst dial pattern and the golden fluted bezel.
Embodying elegance and a touch of environmental consciousness, the phone is encased in a premium finish. The choice of vegan leather for the back panel not only speaks volumes about sustainable luxury but also provides a comfortable, non-slip grip that enhances the user experience. The color options, including the suave Pioneer Green and the understated Navigator Beige, add to the phone’s sophisticated allure, ensuring it stands out in the sea of commonplace designs.
To top it, the 3D Jubilee Bracelet Intricately assembled diamond patterns seamlessly run across the back of the phone, capturing the texture of luxury watch straps.
These makes the phone not only ideal for viewing or editing your photos and videos but also as a good phone for consuming video content on Netflix, Youtube and social media.
The 5,000mAh battery, combined with the 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging, guarantees that you won’t miss a shot. In testing, this powerhouse lasted upwards of 16 hours on continuous use and recharged rapidly—reaching 50% capacity in just 19 minutes.
On the software side, the Realme 12 Plus 5G runs Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14, which offers a clean, user-friendly interface with ample customizations to enhance your photographic experience. You can customize the arrangements of the photography features in the More screen.
Camera interface is straight forward and easy to use.
As we wrap up our review of the Realme 12 Plus 5G, it’s clear that this device is a standout in the crowded smartphone market, especially for those who prioritize photography and design over hardcore gaming capabilities. The Realme 12 Plus 5G, with its meticulously crafted design, courtesy of collaboration with luxury watch designer Ollivier Savéo, and premium finish, sets a new standard for what consumers can expect from a mid-range smartphone.
While the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset ensures smooth day-to-day operations and can handle casual gaming with ease, it’s important to note that this device may not satisfy the demands of hardcore gamers looking for high-frame-rate experiences in graphically intensive games. However, this slight compromise in gaming performance is overshadowed by the phone’s impressive photography capabilities. With its triple-camera setup led by a 50MP Sony sensor, the Realme 12 Plus 5G is a photography enthusiast’s dream come true, especially considering its price point.
For those who live their lives through the lens of their smartphone camera, capturing everything from everyday moments to extraordinary landscapes, the Realme 12 Plus 5G offers a compelling package. Its combination of high-quality imaging, stylish design, and overall value for money makes it a top contender for anyone looking for a great photography phone without breaking the bank.
In summary, the Realme 12 Plus 5G stands out as an exemplary choice for social media enthusiasts, content creators, and anyone who appreciates the blend of aesthetic appeal and photographic prowess. While it may not cater to the hardcore gaming crowd, its strengths in camera performance and design more than make up for it, positioning the Realme 12 Plus 5G as a must-consider device for those prioritizing photography and style in their smartphone selection.
