Realme, the fast-paced contender in the smartphone arena, has dropped a teaser hinting at an imminent release of a smartphone equipped with a periscope telephoto camera. While the teaser doesn’t explicitly disclose the model, speculations are rife, primarily centering around the possibility of it being either the realme 12 Pro+ or the realme GT5 Pro, previously unveiled in China.
The Indian division of realme recently shared an image showcasing the inclusion of a periscope camera on the upcoming device, accompanied by the caption, “No Periscope. No Flagship.” Although the official nomenclature remains undisclosed, the teaser implies a significant leap in camera technology for the anticipated smartphone.
Rumors swirl suggesting that this smartphone is slated for a launch in India, potentially hitting the market by the end of January or in early February, marking a significant milestone. If indeed released during this timeframe, it would mark realme’s first foray outside China with a periscope telephoto lens since the introduction of the X3 SuperZoom in the Indian market back in 2020.
While the GT5 Pro flaunts impressive features in its China-exclusive launch earlier this year, its availability beyond the Chinese market remains uncertain. This new teaser fuels speculation that Realme might be looking to expand the reach of its advanced camera technology beyond its homeland.
If the speculated device is the realme 12 Pro+, it would succeed the realme 12 Pro, launched in India in December 2022. Alongside the anticipated Pro+ model, speculation also points towards a potential introduction of the realme 12 Pro into the Indian market.
Details regarding the design and specifications of realme’s upcoming smartphone are currently under wraps. Enthusiasts and tech aficionados eagerly await further insights as the launch date approaches, anticipating revelations that will shed light on the innovative features and advancements this new offering will bring to the smartphone landscape.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks as anticipation mounts for realme’s next big reveal.
