realme released the international version of the realme 10 Pro series mobile phone earlier this month, which uses a Dimensity 1080 processor with a curved screen. Among them, the high-end 10 Pro+ uses a 6.7-inch screen. The new phone will also be released in Taiwan. Let’s see how it performs.
▲realme 10 Pro+
The first impression of the realme 10 Pro+ is that it is surprisingly light in the hand. Generally speaking, with a large screen and a 5000mAh battery, the mobile phone will inevitably look a little heavy, more than 200g is not easy, but the realme 10 Pro+ only weighs 175g, and because of the curved screen, the sides of the fuselage appear thinner , the shape has the feeling of a high-end mobile phone. However, for the sake of lightness, the back cover material does not use textured materials such as glass, which can be said to be good or bad.
▲The appearance of the packaging box.
▲Open the removal instructions and you can see the main body
▲ Comes with charger and USB Type-C cable. The tester is not a commercially available version, so a double round plug is attached.
▲A transparent protective case is attached at random.
▲It looks like it is installed, and you can still see the special shaped back cover of realme 10 Pro+ while protecting it.
The silver version of Starlight was sent for testing. The back cover has a prism light cone texture. When you turn it slightly, you will see multiple radial rays of light. Compared with the blue-red color-changing back cover that has been used in recent years, it is special. However, because of the silver color, fingerprints are more obvious on the back cover, and it feels a bit greasy after a long time. Users should wipe it frequently.
The button layout of the mobile phone is concentrated on the right side of the fuselage, and the button position is just right, just within the reach of fingers, and will not be placed too high like some brands. However, the location of its screen fingerprint reader is too close to the chin of the screen, and every time you want to unlock it with one hand, it seems a bit unergonomic. As for fingerprint identification, the success rate is quite high, and there are very few failures.
▲The back cover of the Starlight version has a prismatic light cone texture.
▲Different colors will appear when viewed from different angles.
▲There is a glitter coating under the back cover, which is like a nebula.
▲Punch-hole screen, front camera is 16MP.
▲The button is placed on the right side of the fuselage.
▲ There are speakers on both sides of the fuselage, but the 3.5mm headphone jack is omitted.
▲There is a Type-C jack and a SIM card slot on the bottom
▲Supports 5G dual card dual standby, but cannot expand the memory card.
The 6.7-inch display of realme 10 Pro+ uses a curved screen, and the bezel feels narrower. In addition, its chin width is only 2.3mm, which makes the overall look and feel more pleasing. This screen supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming technology. The advantage of this technology is that it can solve the problem of strobe flickering on the AMOLED screen, which makes users’ eyes uncomfortable. According to the data, the PWM frequency of more than 1250Hz has no effect on vision, and the mobile phone reaches 2160Hz, which can provide a comfortable experience in low brightness. If you are used to looking at your mobile phone with a small light before going to bed, realme 10 Pro+ is quite suitable.
In addition, the screen supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, supports HDR 10+ display, and supports 120Hz display, presenting a smoother dynamic picture. In addition, the mobile phone is equipped with two-channel speakers with Hi-Res certification. The actual playback sound effect is good, and there is no popping sound when it is loud. A piece of surround music is actually played, with clear positioning and a strong sense of presence.
▲Supports a high update rate of 120Hz, presenting dynamic images with smooth performance.
▲The color of the screen is delicate.
▲Trial broadcast 360 Sound Videothe speaker can present a clear positioning effect.
The curved screen makes the mobile phone look better, but many people will care about the problem of easy accidental touch. The new X-touch anti-mistouch algorithm increases the anti-mistouch area by 20%, and supports up to dozens of gripping scene optimizations, which can effectively Solve the problem of false touches on curved screens. And to solve the problem that the curved screen is easy to break, the mobile phone uses 0.65mm double-layer tempered high-strength glass, and passed the 1-meter drop test and 28,000 micro-drop tests to enhance users’ confidence in the curved screen.
▲Operation interface, users can customize icons, fonts, wallpapers and other styles.
▲Fingerprint recognition under the screen works well. Featured Functions There are various special functions that can be set.
▲The sidebar can be set, and split screen is also supported.
▲ The game engine can set various modes, such as closing notifications, screen recording, etc.
▲You can open the system status to display FPS and processor load data in real time.

camera test
In terms of cameras, the two large glasses on the back of the realme 10 Pro+ actually have three lenses, which are a 108MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. The main lens uses a 1/1.67-inch Samsung HM6 photosensitive element that supports pixel 9 in 1, the combined pixel size can reach 1.92μm to achieve higher light sensitivity. Moreover, the manufacturer has also added the HyperShot imaging system to the new machine, so that the speed, photo clarity and night scene shooting have been fully improved.
In the actual test shooting, realme 10 Pro+’s focusing speed is quite fast, and its night shooting mode, the system’s calculations are also very fast, unlike some entry-level mobile phone night shooting modes that have to wait for a few seconds to complete, it can be completed almost instantly. From the night shots, we can see that the night photos taken by the main camera are obviously brighter and more detailed than those taken by the ultra-wide-angle lens. It would be nice if it could provide the same level of performance.
The mobile phone has a street shooting mode, which displays 16mm, 24mm and 50mm focal lengths with a 35mm equivalent focal length. It is easier for users who are accustomed to shooting with cameras to grasp which focal length to use to shoot different subjects. In this mode, there are many different special effects Filters can be applied to add different styles to photos. In addition, the professional mode can not only adjust the shutter and other shooting settings, but also can be set to shoot in RAW format, which is a very important function for users who like post-production photos.
realme 10 Pro+ supports AI smart composition function, which uses artificial intelligence to automatically crop photos to present different compositions. It needs to be used in 100-megapixel shooting mode, but the current test model does not have this function. It is reported that the manufacturer will use software in the future Upgrade to add this feature.
▲Shooting interface and settings.
▲Supports AI shooting and HDR functions, and has multiple shooting modes.
▲Street view mode can display the shooting distance by focal length. The video supports 4K shooting.
▲Professional mode can set the color temperature, sensitivity and shutter value. Shooting in RAW format is possible.
▲General shooting (left) and night scene shooting effect, the latter is obviously better in brightness and color rendering.
▲In a very dark environment, the night shot mode (right) can still take bright photos
▲General shooting (left) and 108MP (right) shooting comparison.
▲The shooting effect of three focal lengths of 16mm, 24mm and 50mm.
▲ 16mm super wide-angle lens (left) and 24mm standard lens shooting effect
▲Street shooting mode can set different styles of filters.
▲Although the ultra-wide-angle lens is more convenient for shooting large scenes, compared with the main camera, the night shooting effect has a lot of gaps in brightness and details.

summary:
In the past, the curved screens were all flagship models, and the price was more than 20,000 to 30,000. The realme 10 Pro+ is priced at $15,990. It is the first mobile phone with a curved screen in the same price range, which is attractive. But if you compare the prices across the Taiwan Strait, you will find that the realme GT Neo 3 and realme 10 Pro+ are priced at $2,299 for the Chinese version, while the Taiwan version of the GT Neo 3 is only $13,990, which is two thousand yuan lower than the price of the realme 10 Pro+.
However, the manufacturer offers some early-bird discounts, such as buying a sparkling water machine worth more than 3,000 yuan at a counter, and buying a platform shopping credit of 2,000 yuan and a fast-charging mobile power bank when you buy it on an e-commerce platform, which makes up for the price difference.
Speaking of the phone itself, I’m a bit tired of looking at the blue-to-red back cover recently. The realme 10 Pro+ has a different shape, which is refreshing, and the curved screen brings the texture of a high-end phone, which is a good selling point. As for performance, the Dimensity 1080 processor with 12GB memory performs smoothly, and there is no lag problem when using it. However, from the 3DMark running score, it can be found that its graphics computing ability is slightly weak, and playing “Yuan Shen” can only be played with the default “Low quality” can run smoothly, but watching videos, etc. will not be a hindrance. If you are not a heavy gamer and focus on the camera function and the appearance of the phone, realme 10 Pro+ is a pretty good choice.
