realme 12 4G: UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS

How much are you willing to pay for a smartphone that boasts a gorgeous display, an impressive camera, and a sleek design that turns heads? With the Realme 12 4G, you don't have to stretch your wallet to enjoy these premium features.  

Let's dive into the unboxing and see what makes this phone a standout choice for anyone looking to combine style and functionality.

What's in the Box

The excitement of unboxing a new gadget is unparalleled, and the Realme 12 4G doesn't disappoint. As you lift the lid, you're greeted with the phone itself, nestled securely in protective packaging. Beneath the device, you’ll find the essentials:

• 67W SUPERVOOC Charging Adapter
• Type A to Type C USB Cable
• SIM Ejector Pin
• Protective Case
• Quick Guide and Warranty Card

 

realme ensures that you have everything you need right out of the box. The inclusion of a protective case is a nice touch, especially for those who want to keep their phone safe from day one.

DESIGN

The realme 12 4G is designed to impress. Available in two stunning colors, Pioneer Green and Skyline Blue, this phone is a fashion statement in itself and would go well with any of your OOTDs. The device feels premium in hand, with its 7.92mm thickness and lightweight design making it comfortable to hold for extended periods.

 

Just like the rest of the series, the design is inspired by sleek and fashionable timepieces, realme integrated trending color palettes into the Realme 12's design while capturing the intricate details of high-end watches. This results in a stylish fashion choice that doubles as a fashion statement. Unlike the previous number series, the realme 12 4G carries the same design principles as its more expensive siblings in the realme 12 series, ensuring a consistent and premium look across the lineup. The back panel's subtle gradient finish catches the light beautifully, giving it a sophisticated look that stands out from the crowd. This minimalistic yet chic design is perfect for those who value aesthetics and functionality in their tech accessories.

 

DISPLAY

One of the standout features of the realme 12 4G is its 6.67” E4 AMOLED display. The screen-to-body ratio of 92.65% ensures an immersive viewing experience, whether you're watching videos, playing games, or browsing social media. The Full HD+ resolution delivers sharp and vibrant visuals, making every image pop with clarity.

 

What truly sets this display apart is its brightness. With a peak brightness of 2,000 nits in Sunlight Mode, you can easily view your screen even under direct sunlight. This is a game-changer for those who usually work outdoors, and will prove useful when taking photos outdoors as you don’t have to find a shade to see what’s on screen.

CAMERA

For photography enthusiasts, the realme 12 4G offers an impressive camera setup. The 50MP Sony LYT600 sensor, combined with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), ensures that your photos are sharp and detailed, even in low-light conditions. The camera's Master Filters and optimized Portrait Mode let you capture stunning portraits with beautiful bokeh effects.

The NightEye Engine is particularly noteworthy, allowing you to take clear and detailed photos at night. The front-facing 16MP camera also impresses, perfect for selfies and video calls with friends and family.

 

PROCESSOR AND BATTERY

Under the hood, the Realme 12 4G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor, ensuring smooth performance for everyday tasks and more demanding applications. Whether you're multitasking, streaming videos, or playing games, this phone handles it all with ease.

Battery life is another strong point. The 5000mAh battery provides ample power to get you through the day, and with the 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging, you can go from 0% to 50% in just 19 minutes. This means less time tethered to a charger and more time enjoying your phone.

 

So far here are the features I’m really excited to test out for our full review. 

Gorgeous Display: The 6.67” AMOLED display is perfect for media consumption, offering vibrant colors and exceptional brightness.

Cameras: Its been dubbed as the Portrait Master so the 50MP main camera, with its advanced features and filters, should be fun to use during my trips and coverages.

Fast Charging: The 67W SUPERVOOC charging ensures that your phone is always ready to go, making it ideal for busy schedules.

So far I’ve been able to try almost every realme 12 series phone, and despite being the most affordable of the series, the realme 12 4G offers a similar experience with all the essential features I need to do my work as a blogger and content creator.
