Here is a camera face-off between the Realme 11 Pro+ and the Redmi Note 12 Pro+, both with 200MP primary sensors.
Realme has just taken the covers off the latest addition to the company’s signature lineup in the form of the Realme 11 Pro+. The phone is headlined by a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HM3 sensor, a first for any smartphone in the country. The rest of the optics include an 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro shooter alongside a 32MP selfie camera.
Redmi has traditionally been the biggest competitor to Realme handsets and it just so happens that the former had announced its own offering under the Note series. The Redmi Note 12 Pro+ (review) also makes use of a 200MP primary camera although it is not the same as the one on the 11 Pro+. So which phone can take better images in this highly competitive mid-range segment? The only way to find that out is through a detailed camera comparison.

Let’s first analyse the easiest of scenarios which is a regular day snap in ample sunlight. By default, both sensors pixel-bin the image to 12.5MP by combining 16 pixels into one for greater detail. Right off the bat, one thing is clear… the Realme 11 Pro+ is boosting both the colours and saturation levels above normal. Now this would be appealing for sharing on Instagram but it undoubtedly gives the image a slightly unrealistic pastel look. On the other hand, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ has a more balanced look to it as you can see with the colour of the sky, plants, and flowers. Detail levels are on point for both images, even in the shadow just below the creeper and I’m particularly impressed with the dynamic range on offer. However, I think the Realme image is just a tiny bit better exposed in the centre as compared to the Redmi. Even so, the only reasonable difference lies in the colour reproduction of both images and that is very subjective to liking. There is no clear winner here so I will call this round a tie.
Winner: TieUltra-wide shot
The phones also have 8MP ultra-wide cameras that are good enough for the price bracket.
