It's been something of a quiet second half to 2022 for Realme but after announcing the 4G-only Realme 10 back in November, the budget brand has now released its flagship Realme 10 Pro series. The Realme 10 Pro and Pro Plus feature 120Hz FHD+ displays, 108MP ProLight primary cameras, and run Realme UI 4.0 (Android 13) out of the box.
Top of the range is the Realme 10 Pro Plus which features a 6.7-inch curved FHD+ AMOLED display for the first time in the under $350 segment. The display takes advantage of 2160Hz PWM dimming to reduce screen flicker, even in dark environments where the brightness level is below 90 nits, which traditional DC dimming cannot operate in.
Both models sport the same ‘Hyperspace' design which provides ultra-slim bezels and a prism-like effect on the rear panels of the HyperSpace Gold and Nebula Blue colorways. Both models appear to be identical until you notice that the secondary camera housing of the Realme 10 Pro Plus has two sensors residing in it.
Powered by MediaTek's 6nm Dimensity 1080 processor, the Realme 10 Pro Plus also packs 6/8/12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. There's a big 5,000mAh battery present with 67W SuperVOOC charging which achieves a 50% charge in just 17 minutes.
The 108MP ProLight camera is accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor as well as a more useful 8MP ultrawide lens. The main camera is said to enable the night shot in just 1 second while the Image Fusion engine enhances HDR performance. The Super Nightscape engine uses the ProLight algorithm to process images based on the RAW format to show more details.

Realme 10 Pro
Unlike its sibling, the Realme 10 Pro is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 5G chipset along with 6/8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of expandable storage. Its 6.72-inch LCD display sports FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, along with 240Hz touch sampling. Its 5,000mAh battery makes use of 33W SuperVOOC charging which achieves a 50% charge in 29 minutes.
Apart from the omission of the 8MP ultra-wide lens, the Realme 10 Pro has the same camera setup as its sibling with both units also featuring a 16MP selfie camera.
