Realme GT Neo 3 150W
- Blazing-fast 150W charging
- Excellent gaming performance with Dimensity 8100
- Competitive price point
- Potentially less refined build quality
- Chipset is a step below the Xiaomi 12 Pro
Xiaomi 12 Pro (Dimensity)
- More powerful Dimensity 9000+ chipset
- Likely superior camera system
- Premium build quality and design
- Significantly slower 67W charging
- Higher price tag
Display Comparison
Both devices feature displays with an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, suggesting excellent black levels. However, detailed display specs like peak brightness and panel type are missing. Given the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s flagship positioning, it likely boasts a higher peak brightness and potentially LTPO technology for adaptive refresh rates, leading to better power efficiency. The Realme GT Neo 3, while likely excellent, will likely prioritize refresh rate over peak brightness to balance power consumption with its focus on gaming. Bezels are likely comparable, but the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s build quality may offer a slightly more premium feel.
Camera Comparison
Detailed camera specs are limited. However, the Xiaomi 12 Pro, as a flagship, likely features a larger main sensor and more sophisticated image processing algorithms. The Dimensity 9000+ also includes a more powerful ISP (Image Signal Processor) than the Dimensity 8100, contributing to better image quality, especially in low-light conditions. While both phones likely offer capable cameras, the Xiaomi 12 Pro is expected to deliver more consistent and detailed results. We can safely assume both phones will have a standard suite of camera modes, but the Xiaomi 12 Pro will likely have more advanced features.
Performance
The Xiaomi 12 Pro (Dimensity) holds a clear advantage in raw processing power thanks to the Dimensity 9000+. Its octa-core CPU, featuring a Cortex-X2 prime core clocked at 3.20 GHz, outperforms the Realme GT Neo 3’s Dimensity 8100 (2.85 GHz Cortex-A78 cores). The Dimensity 9000+’s more advanced CPU architecture and 4nm process node translate to better performance in CPU-intensive tasks and potentially improved thermal management under sustained load. While the GT Neo 3’s Dimensity 8100 is no slouch, the 9000+ offers a noticeable step up. Both utilize LPDDR5 RAM, but the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s superior chipset will likely extract more performance from it.
Battery Life
The Realme GT Neo 3 150W’s standout feature is its 150W wired charging, capable of reaching 50% charge in just 5 minutes. This dramatically reduces downtime. The Xiaomi 12 Pro’s 67W charging, while still fast, pales in comparison. The Realme GT Neo 3’s endurance rating of 102 hours suggests reasonable battery life, despite the focus on fast charging. The Xiaomi 12 Pro’s battery capacity is unknown, but the more powerful Dimensity 9000+ may consume more power, potentially offsetting any capacity advantage. The GT Neo 3’s charging speed is a significant advantage for users who prioritize convenience.
Buying Guide
Buy the Realme GT Neo 3 150W if you need unparalleled charging speeds, prioritize gaming performance, and are looking for maximum value. It’s ideal for users who frequently find themselves needing a quick power boost. Buy the Xiaomi 12 Pro (Dimensity) if you prefer a more polished flagship experience, demand the highest possible processing power for tasks like video editing or intensive multitasking, and appreciate a more refined software experience.
