Last week’s poll results are in and things aren’t looking good for the Realme 10 Pro. However, the Realme 10 Pro+ has a real shot at glory. Although their names differ by only one character, the two phones differ from each other in important ways.
The Realme 10 Pro+ stood out in our test (also video test) with its bright, color-accurate display, which (for the first time in the series) is equipped with a premium curved display. The rear cameras were another plus as they worked well day and night (although the selfie camera wasn’t that good)
We were also impressed with the battery life and charging speed, the Dimensity 1080 is fast and the Android 13 + Realme UI 4.0 combo is great. 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 models we recommend in our buyer’s guide. This will likely be replaced by the 10 Pro+ once it launches in other markets.
There have been some criticisms of the Realme 10 Pro+, for example with the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack rubbing people the wrong way.
The standard Realme 10 Pro fares less well, although it has retained its 3.5mm jack and even offers a microSD slot. However, the IPS LCD screen left a lot to be desired, especially in terms of color fidelity (the Pro+ screen is significantly better in all areas).
The Snapdragon 695 is also a thin chip, but there are faster options in the same price range as the Realme 10 Pro. The lack of an ultra-wide camera put many off, the lack of 4K video recording made matters worse.
The Realme 10 Pro will struggle to replace the Realme 9 Pro (which is another mid-range model that we recommend in our buying guide). We might reevaluate it once the price drops, but for now you should probably look at other phones.
