Realme’s global wing has started teasing the arrival of a new phone. What’s interesting about the device is that it seems to be equipped with a periscope telephoto camera. Unfortunately, the company has not revealed the name of the mysterious device. Hence, it could be the upcoming Realme GT 5 Pro flagship phone or a new mid-range phone with top-notch photography capabilities.

As can be seen in the above teaser, the mysterious Realme device has a round camera module. It houses two camera rings and one rectangular unit, which appears to be a periscope zoom camera.

Realme recently launched the Realme GT 5 flagship phone in China and is now said to be working on a more powerful device dubbed the Realme GT 5 Pro. Reports have claimed that it could be Realme’s first phone to feature a periscope telephoto camera. It is unclear whether the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered smartphone will debut this year or by early 2024 in China.

However, a recent Weibo post by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station paints a different story. According to the tipster, there is a new mid-range Realme smartphone on the horizon, and it is set to feature a periscope telephoto camera. He did not reveal the name of the device but claimed that its photography capabilities exceed expectations, offering a level of performance that is usually not seen in its category.

The above teaser, which appeared after the launch of the iPhone 15 series, reads “Not only Max can zoom.” To recall, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is Apple’s first phone with a periscope telephoto camera, which offers a 5x optical zoom. It has a starting price of $1,119. The poster seems to convey that an upcoming Realme phone will also offer higher optical zoom, probably at a significantly lower price than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
