Realme teases a new smartphone with a periscope camera, could be the Realme GT 5 Pro

HIGHLIGHTS

• Realme has teased the launch of a new flagship smartphone.
• The handset will come with a periscope lens, the first from the brand in three years.
• Realme hasn’t shared any details of the phone at the moment but speculations are rife that it could be the Realme GT 5 Pro.

Realme has shared a teaser image on X (previously, Twitter) of an upcoming smartphone. The image shows the return of the periscope camera in the brand’s lineup. To recall, Realme X3 SuperZoom launched back in May 2020 had a periscope telephoto camera but later the brand didn’t launch any smartphone either with a regular telephoto or a periscope telephoto unit.

• The picture posted by Realme shows a circular camera module on the rear panel.
• We see two circular cutouts for the cameras and one rectangle.
• There are chances the two rings are for primary and ultrawide, while the rectangle one could be a periscope telephoto camera.
• The company hasn’t divulged anything about the camera or phone for that matter.
• Realme presumably took a dig at the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max with the caption, “Not only Max can zoom.” The iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a periscope camera.
• There are speculations that the device in question could be the Realme GT 5 Pro, which is rumoured to debut later this year with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and a 64MP telephoto camera (OmniVision OV64B).
