Buying advice for Algeria
Both Realme 12+ and Realme C55 are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Realme C55 is 34% cheaper at 122,000 DZD versus 184,000 DZD for the Realme 12+, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Realme 12+ posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
Realme C55 reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 64 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
