iPhone 15 vs Realme 12 Pro+: which is better?

In this comparison, we pit one of the most attractive high-end Android cell phones against the iPhone 15, the best-selling smartphone that needs no introduction. And we do this because for a significant difference in price, the Realme 12 Pro+ offers a standout feature: a 64-megapixel telephoto lens. How does the iPhone 15, which does not have a telephoto lens, compare to the Realme 12 Pro+? We will tell you about this in a comparison between iPhone 15 and Realme 12 Pro+.

iPhone 15 vs Realme 12 Pro+: Features and Specifications

iPhone 15 vs Realme 12 Pro+: screen and design

Coming to the screen, it is noteworthy that the Realme 12 Pro+ has a superior screen due to its smoothness. And the iPhone 15’s refresh rate is 60Hz, a speed that definitely feels outdated and something we don’t expect to see on an Apple cell phone in 2024.

However, in terms of resolution, the iPhone 15’s screen is superior and also significantly brighter, reaching 2000 nits, while the Realme 12 Pro+ remains at 950 nits.

In terms of design, we think the Realme 12 Pro+ can compete with the minimalist aesthetics of the iPhone 15. And the Realme 12 Pro+’s curved-edge screen means it won’t go unnoticed.

Not to mention that the Realme 12 Pro+ has a telephoto lens, which is missing on the iPhone 15, when using the main lens of each device we see very similar results when shooting indoors. However, you will notice that in some images, the Realme 12 Pro+ takes photos with cool colors, while the iPhone 15 produces more natural colors.

Regarding the zoom you can do with each mobile phone, it is obvious that there is a huge difference between the Realme 12 Pro+, which can do 3x optical zoom or 120x hybrid zoom, and the iPhone 15, which can only do 3x 1x optical zoom, 2x and 10x hybrid.

When it comes to the selfie camera, we noticed very similar results on one mobile phone and the other. However, the advantage of the Realme 12 Pro+ is that its lens is slightly wider, making it easier for you to take group photos or videos.

In short, the photographic results offered by both mobile phones are very similar, although with a noticeable difference when shooting from a distance.

iPhone 15 vs Realme 12 Pro+: performance and autonomy

When it comes to performance, both phones have very strong competition, with the Apple A16 Bionic beating the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in almost all standardized tests. However, the difference between them is not very big, so in both cases you will get excellent performance even in games with high graphical requirements.

We notice important differences in autonomy as well as in the overall battery capacity of each mobile phone. And while it’s true that Apple works wonders by optimizing iOS for maximum battery efficiency, there’s not much to add regarding the fast charging of every mobile, where the Realme 12 Pro+ definitely comes out better.

iPhone 15 vs Realme 12 Pro+: which is better?

However, we thought of this comparison to give an alternative to the user who is thinking about buying the iPhone 15. If you are such a person, the Realme 12 Pro+ is an option that offers you features very similar to those of the iPhone 15, with the fantastic addition of a telephoto lens at significantly more low price.
