The Realme GT5 Pro has been in the news a lot lately, which probably means its official announcement isn’t far away. Today we have some interesting information regarding its rear cameras, which comes from prolific leakster Weibo Digital Chat Station.
It now claims that the GT5 Pro’s three cameras will use the following sensors: the main one is a Sony Lytia LYT808, the telephoto is a 50MP IMX890, and the ultrawide is an OmniVision OV08D10.
The latter is surprising, considering the fact that, last week, the same source said the ultrawide would use Sony’s IMX581. This is a 48 MP sensor, while the OV08D10 is an 8 MP sensor, previously used for the front camera of the OnePlus Nord N20 SE.
It seems pretty low-end considering the other two cameras, so take it with a fair amount of salt. On the other hand, “flagship killer” style devices like Realme’s GT series sometimes really enjoy using 8MP ultrawide to save costs, so we can’t rule it out entirely just yet. It’s strange to go from 48MP to 8MP in the space of a week, although obviously we’re still in the world of rumors.
Now, the main camera: if this new rumor is correct, Realme GT5 Pro and OnePlus Open will have the same Sony Lytia LYT808 sensor, that is, a 1/1.43 type sensor with an effective resolution of 53 MP (which could be marketed as 50MP ). This sensor is the first in an extensive new Lytia line from Sony. These are two-layer transistor stacked pixel sensors that should let in more light at the same size than their IMX predecessors.
Rumors last week regarding the GT5 Pro’s cameras pointed to the IMX966 as the one behind the main camera, so again, don’t jump to conclusions just yet. Maybe Realme is sending out conflicting information just to annoy us. In any case, it looks like the GT5 Pro will be made official in the next few weeks, and then we’ll know which rumor turned out to be correct (if any).
