Infinix Note 12 Pro vs iQOO Z6 5G vs Realme 9i 5G: Verdict
All three phones are reasonably priced. The Infinix Note 12 Pro has a large display and a 108MP main camera sensor, which is unusual in this price range. The base model also has an Helio G99 SoC and 8GB of RAM. It is also the only phone in this comparison with 256GB of internal storage. The device, however, does not support 5G. If you want a 5G phone, you should consider the 9i 5G or the Z6 5G.
The Z6 5G features a faster 120Hz refresh rate screen and a Snapdragon 695 SoC. The Dimensity 810 SoC is more powerful than the 6nm SoC. In contrast, the 9i 5G has a 90Hz refresh rate LCD. At Rs 14,999, it is also slightly less expensive than the Z6 5G. However, we believe that the Z6 5G provides better value for money, with a faster refresh rate display and a more powerful processor for an extra Rs 500.
