Realme Hints at New Smartphone Featuring Periscope Camera; Rumored to Be Realme 12 Pro+

Realme is getting ready to launch a new smartphone with far zoom camera in India. The Chinese electronics company shared a hint about its new main phone on social media. They did not say the name or when it will be released, but we know there is something exciting coming soon! We think the next device is going to be called Realme 12 Pro+. It will come after another phone, the Realme 11 Pro+ that came out in India last month of July.

A quick post on X showed that Realme is planning to launch a smartphone in India. The tweet uses the words “No Periscope. No Flagship”, hinting at better camera zoom functions. The picture for advertising shows the device’s back with a ring. This month, Realme launched its first top-level phone with a special telescope camera. It’s called the Realme GT 5 Pro. The company has not yet announced its name. However, there are talks that the Realme 12 Pro+ may be revealed soon.

Also, the information leaker Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) posted a picture claiming that the Realme 12 Pro+ is probably going to be released either at the end of January or in February next year. There will likely be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series processor, most probably the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. This should power it all up nicely!

Right, there’s some guesses about other Realme 12 Pro+ specs. It could have a big OmniVision OV64B camera that allows you to zoom in three times using just the twist of your lens. The phone is likely to come out in the middle price range costing around 2,000 CNY (around Rs. 23,576). It could be launched with other models like Realme 12 and Realme Pro series phones together at some point.

The Realme 11 Pro+ made its debut in India back in June with an initial price of Rs. 27,999. This product has Realme UI 4.0, which is based on Android 13. It comes with a battery of 5,000mAh and features three rear cameras that can shoot in up to 200-megapixels each. The technology inside it includes MediaTek Dimensity SoC at its core too!
