Realme unveils its 108MP camera featuring the world’s first tilt-shift and starry time-lapse video; will be available soon on the realme 8 series

Realme held an online Camera Innovation Event to launch the first 108MP camera in its upcoming realme 8 series.

realme 8 Pro adopts the latest generation of 108MP sensor HM2 as the primary camera, featuring 12000 x 9000 pixels and a large sensor size of 1/1.52″. With the HM2 also supporting 9-in-1 pixel binning, ISOCELL Plus and Smart-ISO, realme phones will be able to take excellent images in under different lighting conditions.

The 108MP photo taken by realme 8 Pro has a well-balanced overall exposure with vivid colors and sharp details when taken in both bright and dark conditions. The details are in the image remains sharp even after zooming in.

In-sensor Zoom

The realme 8 Pro is able to achieve higher zoom clarity thanks to the new In-sensor Zoom technology. In realme 8 Pro’s camera, the 3x mode will activate the new In-sensor Zoom and the sensor will use the 12MP mapped with the zoomed part to generate an image.

The imaging process is also faster because of the smaller size on the 12MP photo. This enables realme 8 Pro to take eight 12MP photos in a row that can be input into the clarity enhancement algorithm to further increase the image’s clarity.

After processing through the clarity enhancement algorithm, a 3x zoom photo from realme 8 Pro can look clearer than photos taken using optical telephoto lenses by other phone brands in terms of sharpness.

New Starry Mode with time-lapse video

In the new Starry Mode, realme also launched the world’s first Starry Time-lapse Video on smartphones. Starry time-lapse videos are usually realised by shooting multiple clips via professional cameras, and then synthesizing and combining these clips by a computer through a video editing software.

realme came up with an exclusive time-lapse video algorithm based on starry photos that can take 480s to shoot 30 photos and then generate a 1s time-lapse video. This means that the time-lapse mode can show the perpetual changing universes at a speed that is 480 times faster.

Tilt-shift Photography

Tilt-shift photography is achieved with the help of expensive tilt-shift lenses, which can make one part of the photo appears clear while keeping all other parts out of focus to create a sense of a miniature world.

With realme’s new tilt-shift photography algorithm, the realme 8 series is able to take tilt-shift photos as well as 10x faster tilt-shift time-lapse video, presenting the world in a fantastic and unique way.

realme 8 Pro is also the world’s first smartphone that features tilt-shift time-lapse video.

realme also provides some adjustment options in the tilt-shift mode, such as the shape, angle, position, and size of the bokeh effect, and even the transition effect between the bokeh area and the clear area. Users can conveniently choose and customise the bokeh effect to best suit the scene they are shooting.

New portrait filters

realme has also added more features to portrait photography as well – three iconic filters, Neon Portrait, Dynamic Bokeh Portrait, and AI Color Portrait are introduced in the realme 8 series to make every portrait trendier.
