The beginning of 2024 will be an interesting moment for technology fans, especially in Indonesia and India, because realme Indonesia and India officially announced the launch of the realme 12 Pro Series line on January 3. However, what makes it a bigger surprise is the fact that Xiaomi is also planning to launch the Redmi Note 13 on the same date.

Prior to this launch, realme 12 Pro and 12 Pro+ had received TKDN (Domestic Content Level) certification from the Indonesian and Indian governments. These two devices have model numbers RMX 3840 and RMX 3842, which shows realme's readiness to market their newest products in key markets.

News from abroad also notes that the UAE (United Arab Emirates) and Malaysia have also given approval for the presence of realme 12 Pro. Unfortunately, the realme 12 Pro+ is yet to be registered in either country, perhaps indicating different launch plans for the variants.

The realme 12 Pro Series is predicted to carry the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, which will provide reliable performance. Both phones will also reportedly have OLED panels with 120Hz refresh rate displays, promising an incredible visual experience.

Meanwhile, in terms of photography, the realme 12 Pro will offer a 32 megapixel IMX709 telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom capability. Meanwhile, the realme 12 Pro+ will carry a 64 megapixel OmniVision OV 64 B periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom capability. This will give users more flexibility in taking high-quality photos and videos.

Apart from that, there is news that the 12 Pro series will be released in China in the first quarter of 2024. In China, the Pro+ variant is expected to have a price of around 2,000 Yuan, which is equivalent to around IDR 4.3 million. It will be a strong rival in the smartphone market in China.

With these two exciting smartphone series launching on the same date, consumers will have more choices and fiercer competition in the market, which could ultimately lead to innovation and better offerings for users. Just wait for the arrival of the realme 12 Pro Series and Redmi Note 13 to see what they will offer technology fans.
