Realme GT5 Pro to Feature 50MP Sony IMX890 Periscope Telephoto Camera

Realme has unveiled another teaser for its upcoming flagship phone, the GT5 Pro, shining a spotlight on its photographic capabilities, particularly emphasizing the telephoto camera. The teaser images offer a glimpse into what’s being touted as the “industry’s most advanced telephoto setup.”

This camera system will incorporate Sony’s 50MP IMX80 sensor alongside an f/2.6 aperture, providing a 3x optical zoom. Notably, 3x periscope telephoto cameras are uncommon, necessitating folded optics due to the sizable sensor, ensuring it fits within a reasonable device thickness. Realme promises a range of hardware and software enhancements that will enable 6x lossless zoom, according to their claims. Additionally, the camera boasts support for up to 120x super zoom capabilities.

Employing a novel computing framework powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Realme has achieved a 10% improvement in power efficiency and up to 44% faster frame processing. While these specifications appear impressive on paper, the real-world performance of the phone remains to be seen, with the official unveiling scheduled for December.
