Last week’s survey results are in, and it doesn’t look good for the Realme 10 Pro. The Realme 10 Pro+, however, has a real chance to become famous. Even though their names only differ by one character, the two phones are different from each other in ways that matter.
The Realme 10 Pro+ stood out in our review (also video review) with its bright and color-accurate screen, with (for the first time in the series) a premium-looking curved display. The rear facing cameras were another plus as they worked well both day and night (although the selfie cam isn’t all that good)
We were also impressed with the battery life and charging speed, the Dimension 1080 is fast and the Android 13 + Realme UI 4.0 combo is lovely. The phone isn’t perfect, but it’s very competitive in its price range: a true successor to the Realme 9 Pro+, which is one of the mid-range devices we recommend in our buying guide. That will likely be replaced by the 10 Pro+ once it launches in more markets.
There have been some criticisms against the Realme 10 Pro+, for example the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack has pissed people off in the wrong way.
The regular Realme 10 Pro fared worse even though it retained its 3.5mm jack and even offers a microSD slot. However, the IPS LCD left a lot to be desired, especially when it comes to color accuracy (the Pro+ display is much better across the board).
Also, the Snapdragon 695 is a great chip, but there are faster options in the same price range as the Realme 10 Pro. The lack of an ultrawide camera has turned many people away, the lack of 4K video recording has made things worse.
The Realme 10 Pro will have a hard time replacing the Realme 9 Pro (which is another mid-ranger we recommend in our buying guide). We can reevaluate once the price drops, but right now you should probably be looking at other phones.
