Realme 12 5G and Realme 12+ 5G are reportedly in the works and details of the new handsets have surfaced online, shortly before the company launches the Realme 12 Pro series in India. Two new Realme 12 series handsets have been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, suggesting that they could debut in the near future. The Realme 12+ 5G has also been listed on Chinese certification website MIIT, along with images of the purported handset.
The Realme 12 5G and Realme 12+ 5G are now listed on the BIS website under model numbers RMX3868 and RMX38667, respectively. The listings released on January 24 do not reveal any specifications of the handsets. The appearance of the listings suggests that both Realme 12 models will launch in India soon – readers may recall that the Realme 12 Pro models that will debut in India on January 29 were spotted on the BIS website at mid-December.

Meanwhile, the Realme 12+ 5G has also been spotted on the MIIT certification website with a slightly different model number – RMX38666. The listing on the Chinese regulator’s website also includes five images of the phone in a blue color that give us a first look at its design.
The back panel of the purported Realme 12+ 5G on the MIIT website shows that the handset will have a similar appearance to the Realme 12 Pro+ 5G. The handset is seen with a quad rear camera setup, along with an LED flash. It also features a long metal strip that runs from the top to the bottom of the phone, in the middle. The Realme branding is located at the bottom left of the rear panel.

The other images show the front of the handset and its left and right edges. Although the details of the selfie camera cutout are not visible, the volume buttons are shown on the right edge, along with the power button. The edges of the phone appear flat, while images suggest the corners will be rounded.
Realme is yet to announce plans to launch the purported Realme 12 5G and Realme 12+ 5G in India and other markets, but we can expect the phones to debut soon. Meanwhile, the company is expected to launch the Realme 12 Pro smartphone series in India on January 29.
