realme confirmed that the realme 12 Pro Series will come with a flagship periscope telephoto and luxury watch design. Check out more details below.
realme joined Qualcomm at CES 2024 to introduce its periscope technology
At its 2024 media preview event in Las Vegas, realme revealed that the realme 12 Pro Series will feature an industry-leading telescopic telephoto lens. The fastest-growing smartphone brand in the world unveiled its upcoming realme 12 Pro Series in person, providing attendees with an early glimpse at its luxury watch design and cutting-edge periscope telephoto technology. Some speculated that the device could even be the market leader in imaging for its category.
Sky Li, founder and CEO of realme, recently published an open letter declaring 2024 the year of rebranding. In conjunction with this announcement, realme unveiled its new slogan, "Make it real." This media engagement signified the first official communication from realme subsequent to its rebranding. In tandem with the slogan's effort to reposition realme as "a tech brand that better understands young users," the realme Number Series will be marketed as the cutting edge of Next-Gen Imaging.
Flagship Periscope Telephoto Lens
A prospective preference among young users, according to research conducted by realme, is for telephoto lenses with a zoom of at least 3X, as opposed to 2X. The only feasible option for enabling high zoom levels in slim phones is to utilize a periscope telephoto.
In contrast to the high costs and technical complexities typically associated with flagship smartphones, realme is dedicated to bridging this divide by developing periscope telephoto technology that was previously exclusive to flagship smartphones but is now accessible to a broader demographic of youthful users.
realme has thus developed a periscope telephoto formula that guarantees high-quality images in diverse conditions. This formula was initially unveiled in the realme GT5 Pro, which was introduced worldwide in November 2023. The realme GT5's telephoto performance has been elevated to the vanguard of the industry by means of this formula. By combining a cutting-edge algorithm, a leading sensor size, and a high-performance platform, the realme 12 Pro Series will attain the same level of imaging excellence.
Next-Gen Telephoto and Sensor
The realme 12 Pro Series improves the stability and clarity of nighttime images while reducing glare and ghosting. A distinctive blend of prism tilt OIS, sub-wavelength structure coating, and a wave pattern lens shade accomplishes this. The GT5 Pro marked the introduction of these technologies. Furthermore, with a digital zoom of up to 120X, the realme 12 Pro Series offers the most advanced telephoto capabilities in its category. In addition, it will have a 3X Portrait Mode and a 71mm golden portrait focal length, which will produce an incredibly shallow depth of field that is ideal for portrait shots.
The realme 12 Pro Series is equipped with the biggest periscope telephoto sensor in its category. It is packed with the OV64B flagship sensor, which matches other top-tier flagships and surpasses competitors. Its 1/2-inch size makes it more than twice as large as the iPhone 15 Pro's telephoto sensor. The telephoto lens of the realme 12 Pro Series is approximately three times more light-sensitive than that of the iPhone 15 Pro due to its larger aperture and light intake.
Next-Gen Lossless Zoom
The realme 12 Pro Series has a Sony IMX890 OIS main camera. Its 1/1.56-inch large sensor, 24mm equivalent focal length, and wide f/1.8 aperture make night shooting better. The inclusion of OIS support enables it to deliver steady video recording and enhance the efficiency of photograph acquisition.
Additionally, the realme 12 Pro Series features an ultra wide-angle camera and periscope telephoto camera with lossless zoom at 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x, enabling photographers to capture images at full focal length.
Next-Gen Algorithm
MasterShot Algorithm has been implemented as an enhancement to realme's image processing in conjunction with Qualcomm. The RAW domain processing capability of the realme 12 Pro Series makes it the first and only device in its category to guarantee cinematic portraits with superior clarity, dynamic range, and realism.
The MasterShot Algorithm, an architecture of the next generation that is omni-focal, is a flagship offering that provides the most sophisticated computational photography in the industry. It incorporates the NightEye Engine for superior night photography and the LightFusion Engine for improved clarity and tone. Additionally, the realme 12 Pro Series' movie portrait filter enables effortless capturing of captivating portraits.
Luxury Watch Design
realme has collaborated with the international luxury watch design master Ollivier Savéo to develop a luxury watch design for the Realme 12 Pro Series, in addition to the flagship image. This initiative seeks to provide young people with cutting-edge imaging experiences and fashionable designed products.
Ollivier Savéo has established himself as a prominent figure in the realm of high-end watch and jewelry organizations. In the past, he has worked in partnership with esteemed Swiss watch manufacturers such as Rolex, Roger Dubuis, Piaget, Breitling, and Quentin. His profound knowledge and skill were instrumental in the development of the luxury watch design that significantly enhances the sophistication of the realme 12 Pro Series.
realme and Ollivier Savéo joined forces to take inspiration from the timeless elegance of luxury watches. Together, they embarked on a journey to break down the complex design and intricate craftsmanship of these classic timepieces. As a result, the realme 12 Pro Series' industrial design was enhanced with refined components, thereby redefining the notion of luxury watch design.
Golden Fluted Bezel: 300 intricately crafted metal lines comprise the Golden Fluted Bezel, which is crafted via CNC machine cutting to attain a 360° precision texture, befitting a luxury timepiece.
Polished Sunburst Dial: By seamlessly blending a light cone texture and a gradient UV texture, the Polished Sunburst Dial displays more than five hundred sunburst patterns interwoven with light and shadow.
Premium Vegan Leather: The incorporation of cutting-edge silicone materials yields a premium vegan leather product that is impermeable to grime and has a silky texture, fusing elegance with functionality.
3D Jubilee Bracelet: By employing three-dimensional rhomboid precision splicing, the 3D Jubilee Bracelet imbues the realme 12 Pro Series with a luxurious metallic strap texture.
The realme 12 Pro Series is scheduled to launch worldwide in January 2024. However, it has not yet been officially announced for release in the Philippines.
