Realme XT 64MP quad camera phone teased in official image, will be powered by Snapdragon SoC

Realme at the realme 5 series launch event last week confirmed that it will launch the realme XT with 64MP quad rear cameras in India in September. Today the realme China CMO Xu Qi Chase has posted an image of its 64MP Quad Camera phone without revealing the phone’s name. This should launch in India as realme XT since it has the same yellow ring around the first camera that we had seen on the prototype the company showcased at the camera event.

This also reveals a glass back with reflective patterns in White color, which looks different from current realme phones. There is no fingerprint scanner on the phone, so we can expect in-display fingerprint scanner and an AMOLED screen, similar to the realme X, but it is not clear if this will feature a pop-up front camera.

The CMO also confirmed that the phone will be powered by a Snapdragon SoC without revealing the model number. The Redmi Note 8 Pro, which also uses the same 64MP Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor will be powered by MediaTek Helio G90T SoC. In addition to the main 64MP camera, it willl feature Ultra wide angle, Ultra Macro and Telephoto lens. It will also have Expert Mode, Nightscape and Chrome Boost.

Yesterday the company posted a clue for the China launch event which hinted at September 4th launch date and Q Series, so the realme XT could launch in a different name in China. We should know more details in the coming days.
