The
Realme 12 Pro series
, which includes the
Realme
12 Pro 5G and the Realme 12 Pro+ 5G smartphones, was launched in India in January. The Chinese smartphone maker is now set to launch the Realme 12 series in the country. The upcoming lineup will also include two smartphones --
Realme 12 5G
and the Realme 12+ 5G models. The
Realme 12 5G series
is set to launch tomorrow (March 6) at 12 pm and the company has been teasing both smartphones on social media platform X (previously Twitter).
The X posts have revealed some of the key highlights of the upcoming Realme 12 series models.
One of the X posts has confirmed that the vanilla
Realme 12 5G
model will be the first phone to come with a new “Dynamic Button”. This button will act like the Action Button which was introduced with the latest
iPhone 15 Pro
and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. With this button, Realme 12 5G users will be able to control seven different functions, the company claimed. However, the X post didn’t confirm if the
Dynamic Button
will be available in the Realme 12+ 5G model.
