Realme has confirmed that its impending mid-range Android smartphone series flagship will have not one but two 50MP rear cameras. Furthermore, one of them will be a new periscope zoom module based on one of Sony's latest sensors, while the other will be based on its entirely new courterpart with optical image stabilization (OIS).

The latest Realme 13 Pro series previews suggest that the smartphones will have a camera hump very similar to those of their "Luxury Watch Design" forebears. However, things are different under those central round face-plates, according to the brand itself.

It has now indicated that the upcoming 12 Pro+ successor will have a "dual main camera system", which means that 2 of what seems to be its 3 rear shooters will be 50MP. 

One will be the Sony LYT-701, an all-new sensor to be exclusive to the 13 Pro+ on its launch, while the other will be the LYT-600, featuring as a 3X periscope zoom lens for the first time in a Realme smartphone.

They comprise the hardware "layer" of the brand's new HyperImage+ camera system, overlaid by new AI algorithms rated to confer features such as AI Ultra Clarity; AI HyperRAW Algorithm; AI Pure Bokeh, and AI Natural Skin Tone.

The Realme 13 Pro+ will be unleashed on the Indian market alongside its Pro sibling "soon". In the meantime, the 12 Pro+ now starts at INR 27,770 (~$332) on Amazon.
