Display Comparison
The Realme 10 Pro+ boasts a display capable of reaching 809 nits of peak brightness, which is respectable for outdoor visibility. However, the Xiaomi 12 Pro (Dimensity) is expected to exceed this, typical of its flagship positioning, though specific measured data is unavailable. While both likely utilize AMOLED panels, the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s potential for a higher refresh rate and more sophisticated color calibration would provide a more visually immersive experience. The Realme's display is adequate, but the Xiaomi likely offers a more premium viewing experience.
Camera Comparison
Detailed camera analysis is limited by the provided data. Both phones feature a 'Photo / Video' capability, but specifics are missing. However, given the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s flagship status, it’s reasonable to assume a more sophisticated camera system with a larger sensor and improved image processing. The Realme 10 Pro+ likely focuses on providing a versatile camera experience at a lower price point. Without sensor size or aperture information, it’s difficult to make a definitive judgment, but the Xiaomi is expected to deliver superior image quality, particularly in low-light conditions.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Xiaomi 12 Pro (Dimensity) is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 9000+, built on a 4nm process, offering significantly improved power efficiency and performance compared to the Realme 10 Pro+'s Dimensity 1080 (6nm). The Dimensity 9000+ features a Cortex-X2 prime core clocked at 3.20 GHz, alongside Cortex-A710 and A510 cores, providing a substantial advantage in CPU-intensive tasks. The Realme’s Dimensity 1080, with its Cortex-A78 and A55 cores, is capable but falls behind in raw processing power. The Xiaomi’s chipset will translate to faster app loading times, smoother multitasking, and better gaming performance. There are two versions of the Realme 10 Pro+ with slightly different CPU clock speeds (2.6GHz vs 2.5GHz), but the difference is unlikely to be noticeable in real-world use.
Battery Life
The Realme 10 Pro+ has an endurance rating of 149 hours, suggesting good battery life. Both devices support 67W wired charging with PD3.0, allowing for a 50% charge in approximately 17 minutes. While the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s battery capacity isn’t specified, the more efficient Dimensity 9000+ chipset could offset a potentially smaller battery size. The Realme’s endurance rating indicates a strong focus on battery longevity, making it a good choice for users who prioritize all-day usage.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme 10 Pro+ if you need a dependable daily driver with fast 67W charging and are on a strict budget. It’s ideal for users who prioritize battery life and don’t demand the absolute highest performance. Buy the Xiaomi 12 Pro (Dimensity) if you prefer a smoother, more responsive experience for demanding apps, gaming, and content creation, and are willing to spend a bit more for a flagship-level processor.
