Realme is well known for offering high-performance smartphones at affordable price points. The Realme 10 Pro+ launched in November 2022 aims to deliver a flagship-level experience without the flagship price tag. Let’s take a deeper look at the Realme 10 Pro+ and see what it has to offer.

Design and Build

Measuring 161.5 x 73.9 x 7.8mm and weighing 173-175g, the Realme 10 Pro+ has a compact and comfortable form factor. It has a glass front and a plastic frame/back. The front is dominated by the 6.7-inch AMOLED display with thin bezels all around. This results in an excellent screen-to-body ratio of around 90.5%.

Available in Dark Matter Black, Nebula Blue, and Hyperspace color options, the phone has a slick yet subtle design. Build quality feels good for a mid-range phone thanks to the use of glass and sturdy plastic materials. Overall, the design balances style with ergonomics well for one-handed use.

Display

The 6.7-inch AMOLED display is one of the highlights of the Realme 10 Pro+. It has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels and a 20:9 aspect ratio. With a pixel density of 394PPI, text and images look sharp. Being an AMOLED panel, colors are vibrant and blacks are deep.

It supports 120Hz high refresh rate and HDR10+ for an immersive viewing experience. Maximum brightness goes up to 800nits making the screen visible even under direct sunlight. There is also an Always-on Display, DC dimming, and 180Hz touch sampling rate. All these elements make the display a delight to use.

Performance

Under the hood, the Realme 10 Pro+ packs the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset, manufactured on a 6nm process. This chip features an octa-core CPU with 2.6GHz ARM Cortex-A78 processors and 6GB/8GB/12GB RAM options. Graphics are handled by the Mali-G68 MC4 GPU.

In day-to-day use, the phone felt fast and fluid navigating between apps and multitasking. Benchmark scores like 522,376 on AnTuTu indicate strong performance. Gaming was smooth even on graphics-intensive titles thanks to the powerful Dimensity 1080. Additionally, software experience is also very good with Realme UI 4.0 based on Android 13.

Cameras

The triple rear camera system of the Realme 10 Pro+ includes a 108MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro sensors. Selfies are handled by a 16MP front camera.

Picture quality from the main camera is excellent in daylight with plenty of detail, accurate colors, and fast focusing. Wide angle adds more versatility while macro is good for closeup shots. In low light, night mode improves quality significantly.

It can record 4K video at 30fps from the main camera with EIS for stabilization. Slow-mo videos, time-lapse, panorama, and portrait modes are also available. Overall, the camera performs very well for the price.

Battery Life

The 5000mAh battery inside the Realme 10 Pro+ is quite large and should provide all-day battery life under mixed usage. It supports 67W fast charging that can juice up the battery from 0-50% in just 17 minutes as claimed.

In our tests, the phone lasted over a day of casual usage including browsing, social media, cameras, and light gaming with around 6 hours of screen on time. Heavy users should still be able to get through a full day with the big battery. Fast charging is also very convenient.
