Battery

Real 12 pro plus 5G comes with a 5,000 mAh battery . With heavy usage involving games, I lost 11 percent of my battery in about 30 minutes and 5 percent battery in about 15 minutes with light usage. So, the battery life is solid, but do keep in mind that your results could vary depending on the usage. The company has given support for 67W SuperVooc fast charging that can charge your battery from 10 percent to 100 percent in about 40 minutes and 0% to 50% in 20 minutes. You can limit your charge at 80% to preserve your battery life for longer usage.
