main highlight of  Realme XT, as mentioned earlier, is its four-camera setup on rear. It has a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a 2MP macro lens. That main camera uses Samsung’s 64MP GW1 sensor which works on same principle as its 48MP GM1 and 32MP GD1 sensors - effectively producing sharper, more detailed 16MP photos in tricky and low light, and using software interpolation to produce high resolution 64MP photos as and when required. 

Hallmark Realme features such as Nightscape (which is Realme’s take on night mode we’ve come to see on many phones lately) and Chroma Boost (used for achieving greater dynamic range and more balanced exposure under different lighting scenarios) are available on  Realme XT.
