The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The 12 Pro+'s Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is simply the faster chip.
The 12 Pro+ has the stronger camera system (3 real rear lenses vs 1).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
The Reno 12 F 5G is supported until Jul 2028 — 5 months longer than the 12 Pro+.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
