In a teaser posted on Flipkart, the company spoke of "joining the 5quad”, hinting at the quad-camera setup that will debut on the 5. However the 64 MP shooter will not be a part of that as we understood in our hands on, as it"s coming on a different device in time for Diwali, which is on October 27.

Madhav Sheth, head of Realme India, confirmed the sensor with some clever math, revealing the 4-camera setup will have 48 MP main shooter with Sony IMX586 sensor and will be accompanied by an ultra-wide camera with 119 degrees FoV.

The third shooter will be a dedicated macro lens, while the fourth is a depth sensor for portrait photos.

Other specs are yet to be revealed, but knowing how Realme teases its devices little by little, we expect to know more in the next 8 days, leading to the announcement.
