Leap-forward Camera
The camera section of realme 8 Pro sports the biggest upgrade. realme applied the Samsung’s latest generation sensor HM2 108MP (f/1.9) to deliver superior photos. By virtue of its large sensor size (1/1.52"), 8 Pro’s prime rear camera can capture 12000 by 9000 pixels images.

Usually, the Pixel-Binning technology on phones reduces noise in images and helps to capture bright photos in the dim-lit conditions. realme 108MP prime sensor is blessed with 9-in-1 pixel binning technology which is able to capture larger megapixel photos. Therefore, each pixel is bigger and holds more light.
ISOCELL Plus technology minimizes the optical loss and prevents light reflection. The realme 8 pro’s HM2 sensor can skillfully define the optimal ISO setting via Smart-ISO technology in order to optimize the quality of image and reduction of noise. It can automatically select the high ISO to generate brighter, sharper, clearer images in low-light ambient without showing too much noise. In presence of ample lighting, this technology chooses low ISO to maintain the color accuracy in the images.
realme 8 pro’s exclusive Tilt-shift Photography algorithm feature allows the user to capture photos of surroundings making only fractions of the image clear; while keeping the rest elements out of focus. Thus, you can create the illusion of a miniature world. Moreover, realme 8 Pro can shoot tilt-shift time-lapse video at 10x faster mode to present the subjects in a more dramatic way. In this tilt-shift mode, you get some customizing options to change the size, shape, angle, location, bokeh effect, transition effect, etc.

realme achieved the crown of bringing world's foremost Starry Time-lapse Video feature on a phone. Usually, to create a Starry time-lapse video, multiple clips are taken using professional cameras.

It takes 480s to capture 30 photos and then develop a 1s time-lapse video. It means that the time-lapse mode is able to display the continuously changing incidents at 480times quicker speed.
Instead of capturing portrait shots with a mere background bokeh effect, realme has added three iconic filters including AI Color Portrait, Dynamic Bokeh Portrait and Neon Portrait. This feature can make the portrait images more stylish, attractive, trendier, and social-media ready.
With the rear main camera you can shoot maximum 4K footage at 30fps. However, to enjoy the Gyro-EIS stabilization feature you have to move to 1080P. You can also shoot 1080p video at 30fps or 120fps with the front camera. Here gyro-EIS facility is available.
