It has a new "Van Sunlight" 3D glass-like back design in Blue or Green colors and a slightly lower 8MP selfie shooter instead of 13MP.
The budget phone for aspiring vloggers?
It still has the same quad-camera system with a 12MP f/1.8 primary sensor with PDAF, 8MP f/2.25 119-degree ultra-wide secondary camera, 2MP f/2.4 4c macro camera, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth camera.
But realme made it better for videos. Like the realme 5, it can shoot 4K videos up to 30fps. It now has an anti-shake technology for more stabilized videos. It also supports slow-mo videos up to 120fps.
