Realme has an event scheduled in India on August 8 for the launch of its new 64MP camera smartphone. It looks like the China launch of the same phone will follow soon after. According to a leaked invitation (courtesy of some bloggers in China) shared on Weibo, Realme’s 64MP smartphone could be announced in China on August 15.
The invite shared on Weibo reveals that the new Realme 64MP phone will be announced at an official event on August 15 at 2 PM CST. The phone is said to use a 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor with 1/1.72″ large size and very high sensitivity. The sensor is capable of shooting 9216 x 6912 resolution images. With such large resolution images, the phone should be able to capture better details than a traditional 48MP or lower resolution sensors. The new 64MP sensor utilizes Tetracell technology (similar to Sony’s Quad-Bayer) to combine four pixels to output detailed 16MP resolution images.
Realme CEO, Madhav Seth had revealed a camera sample from its 64MP phone a few weeks back which gave us a glimpse of what it was capable of. However, we are yet to see extensive samples from this sensor to see how good it is in real life.
Meanwhile, Redmi will also release a 64MP smartphone this week. The brand has scheduled an event on August 7 in China where it will showcase the new device with the new camera sensor.
Note that Realme is yet to officially confirm this Aug 15 launch event for China.
