You will also find a 16-MP selfie camera at the centre of the screen on top. What we liked about the camera is that it changes modes automatically depending on the surroundings.

Our Product Testing Expert’s Opinion
The Realme 10 Pro Plus is a beautifully designed mid-range phone that performs well. It has a good battery life which can adequately support streaming and multimedia. At a price tag of Rs. 24,999, it looks brilliant and gives a lag-free experience. It comes with Android 13 out of the box, which is a big plus. Retaining the camera, OIS could have been a better move by the company.
On the downside, the bloatware gets installed automatically, which can be annoying. A better cooling system could have made the phone popular with gamers too. The lack of splash resistance is what will disappoint the users.

- Anyone who wants a mid-range phone with premium looks

- All those who want a decent camera
- It is for those who want a good everyday phone
5 Phones in a Similar Price Range
A very close competitor of the Realme 10 Pro Plus 5g is Redmi Note 12 Pro 5g. The Redmi camera has OIS, a big drawback in the Realme 10 pro plus. Also, the Redmi Note 12 pro 5g is splash-proof IP53. Though both the phones compete closely, the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5g wins the specs score.
Another rival of Realme is the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. The OnePlus device features an IPS display, a Snapdragon Qualcomm processor, 680 nits brightness, and weighs 195 gm. The Realme has better features and wins the competition. However, the OnePlus has an expandable memory of 1 TB, 8GB RAM, and an audio jack too.
Priced at Rs.22,999, the POCO X5 Pro is a phone in a similar price range as the Realme. The POCO device performs better than the Realme with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset.

Thus, if you are willing to pay a little extra and want a lightweight phone, then the Realme is the right choice.
