realme just launched its newest addition to the realme 12 Series 5G in the Philippines! Aiming to bring a more affordable way to be a Portrait Master, the realme 12 5G brings a capable and competitive camera in a midrange phone. It also offers a sleek design and a range of quality-of-life features that enhance the overall user experience.
Standout Features of the realme 12 5G
The Ever-Reliable 108MP Camera
Its 108MP 3x Zoom Portrait Camera lets you take good photos in different scenarios. Yes, we’ve seen the Samsung HM6 sensor in previous realme phones. However, realme’s track record with its image processing leads me to believe we’re getting better photos here. We’re even getting the Portrait Master Filters (composed of Journey, Maverick, and Memory) in collaboration with award-winning cinematographer, Claudio Miranda.
Continuing the Luxury Watch Design
As mentioned earlier, realme brings a Trendy Watch Design that takes elements of other realme 12 Series 5G phones. From the eye-catching Polished Sunburst Dial to the Polished PVD Edges seen in the realme 12+ to the 3D Jubilee Bracelet, the realme 12 5G truly shows off that watch feel. It comes in two colors: Twilight Purple and Woodland Green.
All-Around Performance
Whether you’re just starting your work life or need a companion that keeps up, the realme 12 5G has everything you need.
It starts with a 5000 mAh battery that supports 45W SUPERVOOC Charge, allowing a full charge in just over an hour. Keeping the phone snappy is a MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor. Additional features like Riding Mode for traveling scenarios help elevate the overall user experience. Enjoy all that power and capability with the realme 12 5G’s 6.7-inch 120Hz Sunlight Display! With FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 950 nits peak brightness with Sunlight Mode, you can enjoy your content even under bright sunlight!
