The megapixel camera race is well and truly back on smartphones. But this time, it’s nice to see mid-range phones drive it rather than the top-end ones, putting better cameras in the hands of the masses.
If Xiaomi brought the 48 MP camera first to the country with the Redmi Note 7 Pro, Realme has decided to be first-past-the-post this time around, bringing a whopping 64 MP lens to its quad-camera set on the new Realme XT. The quad-camera set was just seen on the Realme 5 and 5 Pro. That’s quite a slew of devices and lenses from the Chinese brand, which has stepped out from under the Oppo shadow.
While the XT’s nomenclature is like Realme’s ‘flagship’ X, it is much closer in look, feel, specs and operation to the Realme 5 Pro, with the big difference being a 64 MP lens instead of a 48 MP. The drop notch, quad-camera strip on the back, lovely patterns and gradients, are very similar to the 5 Pro.
