Price last checked: 10 Mar 2025. Confirm current price before buying.
A 108MP main camera at this price point is the headline here, backed by PDAF for faster focus and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. Realme 12 price in Malaysia starts from RM699, which puts it in budget territory even with that camera setup and 8GB RAM plus 256GB storage on board.
The 6.72-inch IPS LCD runs at 120Hz with up to 950 nits peak brightness, so scrolling feels smooth and outdoor visibility holds up. Under the hood, the Dimensity 6100+ handles everyday tasks and 5G connectivity without issue, though it's built for efficiency rather than heavy gaming.
Battery life comes from a 5000mAh cell with 45W wired charging, getting you from 1-50% in about 30 minutes. There's also IP54 splash resistance, stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm jack with Hi-Res audio support, practical additions you don't always see in this segment.
