Realme Confirms 12 Pro Series Launching in China. Shortly after unveiling the Realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ globally, Realme has now confirmed both phones are headed for an official launch in China in February 2024.
Prior to concluding its international launch event on January 30th, Realme informed viewers that the 12 Pro duo would make their way to the company’s domestic market by February. An exact release date will be announced in the coming days.
Realme 12 Pro Series Highlights
As a quick refresher, here are some of the key highlights of Realme’s latest number series models:
- 6.7″ FHD+ curved OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 (12 Pro) and Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 (12 Pro+) chipsets
- 50MP main cameras with OIS on both models
- Periscope telephoto camera only on the Pro+ variant
- 5000mAh batteries with 67W fast charging
- Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 13
While specs are mostly identical between global and China models, there may be minor regional differences.
The Realme 12 Pro serves as the more affordable option of the two, equipped with Qualcomm’s gaming-optimized Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor.
Meanwhile, the higher-positioned Realme 12 Pro+ claims the “first phone under ¥2,000 (~$300) with a periscope camera”. It gets a boost from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip with faster CPU and AI capabilities, plus improved power efficiency.
Both handsets feature the same eye-catching curved display with thin bezels and a left-aligned hole-punch front camera. Their 50MP Sony main cameras and 5000mAh cell capacities should also enable excellent mobile photography and battery life.
Following successful launches abroad, Realme is preparing its domestic fanbase for the slick 12 Pro duo’s China unveiling next month. Local pricing and exact availability dates will be revealed closer to release.
