Realme is preparing to introduce a new flagship smartphone in India, featuring a unique periscope zoom camera. This development has created a buzz in the tech community, with Realme teasing the launch on various social media platforms.
Although the exact name and launch date are not yet confirmed, there is speculation that this new device could be the Realme 12 Pro+.
The anticipated Realme 12 Pro+ is expected to succeed the Realme 11 Pro+, which was released in July in India. The teaser from Realme suggests that the new phone will boast significant optical zoom capabilities, a feature emphasized by the tagline “No Periscope. No Flagship."
Earlier this month, Realme launched the Realme GT 5 Pro, its first flagship with a periscope telephoto camera. This sets the stage for the Realme 12 Pro+ to potentially offer similar or enhanced features.
Tipster Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) predicts a launch timeframe between late January and February 2024. Additionally, the phone is rumored to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, a mid-range chipset offering a balance between performance and affordability.
The Realme 12 Pro+ is expected to feature a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. This places the smartphone in the mid-range price category, potentially around CNY 2,000 (roughly Rs. 23,000). The launch is likely to include the Realme 12 and Realme 12 Pro models as well.
Realme's plan to introduce the Realme 12 Pro+ with its advanced periscope zoom camera in India signifies an important step in the company's innovation journey.
This upcoming launch not only demonstrates Realme's dedication to bringing cutting-edge technology to the market but also strengthens its position in the competitive Indian smartphone sector.
