While Realme has officially confirmed some of the important features of the upcoming devices, most of their key tech specs remain under the wraps for now. However, recent leaks and rumors may have possibly revealed some of the key details, including the identity of the 48MP sensor in the Realme 5 Pro. According to tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore(@Sudhanshu1414), the primary sensor will be Sony’s IMX586, while other key hardware components will include the Snapdragon 712 SoC, a notched AMOLED display and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

It’s worth noting here that both the Realme 5 and 5 Pro have been confirmed to launch next week, and not just the‘Pro’model, as is being reported by some media outlets. The company made that amply clear through a follow-up tweet (as seen below), as well as on Flipkart, which clearly mentions‘Realme 5-series’rather than just Realme 5 Pro.

The Realme 5 and 5 Pro are part of the company’s stated plans to launch at least onequad-camera phone in all three of its lineups– Realme, Realme Pro and Realme X. While the flagship device will ship with Samsung’s 64MP ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor as its primary camera, the others are expected to ship with relatively smaller sensors.
