7.8/10 by Shubham Raheja | 29 Jan 2024

The Realme 12 Pro Plus focuses on its camera prowess while offering a familiar design and performance. Upgraders from the 11 Pro series might not find significant changes. However, for those switching from other brands or older devices, it's essential to prioritize needs. While it may not suit everyday users, aspiring smartphone photographers seeking camera-centric features should consider it.

8.6/10 by Mustafa Khan | 15 Jan 2026

The Realme 16 Pro+ is a classic case of a phone that knows what it wants to be. It looks premium, lasts forever on a charge, and delivers genuinely impressive cameras, especially for portraits and everyday photography. The bright AMOLED display is a joy for content, even if its 144Hz promise feels underused. Where it stumbles is raw performance and gaming. At Rs 40,000, its not the all-rounder, but for camera lovers and heavy users, it still makes a strong case.
