Realme has teased the launch of Realme 12+ to be coming soon in India. Here are all the details known so far.

New Delhi: Chinese smartphone manufacturer Realme launched its Realme 12 and Realme 12 Pro+ on January 29 in India. Placed in the premium mid-range smartphone segment, the phones were an anticipated series with noteworthy specifications. However, the company has recently confirmed the launch of another addition to Realme 12 series, the Realme 12+ 5G. The smartphone is set to debut in India

Realme 12+ 5G: Confirmed Launch

The Realme 12+ debuted in China on November 21, 2023, preceding the confirmed India launch by approximately two months. The reason for this delay remains unclear, but speculation points towards potential market adjustments and regulatory approvals for the Indian market.

Realme 12+ Expected Features, Specifications 

Experts anticipate the Indian variant to largely mirror the Chinese model in terms of core specifications. This includes a vibrant 6.7-inch FHD+ display, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, and a long-lasting 5000mAh battery with fast charging support. However, slight deviations might be present. While the Chinese model boasts a triple rear camera setup (50MP + 64MP + 8MP), the Indian version might see adjustments based on local preferences. Additionally, software customisations and pre-loaded apps could be tailored for the Indian market.

Realme 12+ Expected Price in India

A direct conversion of the Chinese launch price of CNY 3,499 (roughly Rs. 33,900) paints a similar picture for the Indian variant. However, considering the slight decrease in the Realme 11+ price from China to India, market analysts predict a possible starting price of Rs. 29,999 to Rs. 31,999 for the Realme 12+ in India.
