If you prefer a slightly better screen, waterproof features, a slightly superior camera, and a better battery life, I would suggest going with the OnePlus 12. However, price-wise, the Realme GT5 Pro offers similar features but with better HDR quality and higher peak brightness.

Both Realme and OnePlus offer great value for their price. OnePlus boasts a better wide-angle lens and decent telephoto lens compared to Realme. Furthermore, OnePlus provides superior water resistance and screen quality.
