Realme 12 Pro with mid-range Qualcomm smartphone SoC spotted on Geekbench

The Realme 12 Pro and possibly 12 Pro+ originally leaked as new mobile devices with the model numbers RMX3841 and RMX3843. However, according to Geekbench 6, there is also an RMX3842 variant, and it now falls into the sub-1,000 single-core score category on the benchmark.

The alleged 12 Pro has scraped that result with 8GB of RAM and a platform code-named parrot with 4 ARM cores clocked at 1.8GHz and 4 more at 2.21GHz. Accordingly, the processor in question is now believed to be the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, as opposed to the Dimensity 7050 of the 11 Pro.

Evidence of a Realme 12 Pro that jumps ship to Qualcomm in this way may be plausible in the face of corresponding reports of a 12 Pro+ that also ditches MediaTek for one of the newer 7-series SoCs. All the same, those rumored specs might prove a stark contrast with hints at an upgrade to periscope zoom technology in this generation of numbered smartphones.

Then again, the 12 Pro is also now depicted as launching at the end of January 2024 with Android 14 out of the box at least.
