5 reasons not to buy Realme 12 Pro+

Average performance

Realme 12 Pro+ is powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. Although you will not face any issues in daily use, multitasking and gaming are not the ideal solution for the device. It is designed for casual users, not gamers.

Low peak brightness

Realme 12 Pro+ has a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with FHD+ 120Hz resolution. The only major downside to the panel is its 950 nits brightness which is relatively lower than competitors.

Relatively fewer software updates

The Realme 12 Pro+ runs Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14. It will only receive 2 years of software and 3 years of security updates. In comparison, other devices in this price range offer 3 years of software and 4 years of security updates.

Slow camera processing

Realme 12 Pro+ has an excellent array of cameras. However, the optics seem to have difficulty focusing on the subject, and there is a bit of lag in image processing.

Inconsistent image

Another issue with the Realme 12 Pro+ cameras is the portrait mode as the end results are inconsistent. The device sometimes tends to blur a certain part of the subject instead of the background.
