 Realme XT, as mentioned earlier, is based on Samsung’s 64MP GW1 sensor that works on same principle as its 48MP GM1 and 32MP GD1 sensors, effectively producing sharper, more detailed 16MP photos in low light, and using software interpolation to produce high resolution 64MP photos as and when required. 

Xiaomi’s Redmi te 8 Pro also uses same sensor. To recall,  Redmi te 8 Pro has a four-camera setup on rear consisting of a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a 2MP macro lens. Considering how both Realme and Xiaomi are kwn for ir aggressive pricing, it won’t be surprising if both brands make 64MP smartphone camera a mainstream affair as well with ir respective launches.
