Inside India's First 64 Megapixel Camera

Inside India's First 64MP Camera

Realme brought in India's First 64MP camera into the market broadening its marketing strategy and leveraging the Indian market with the features of premium flagships at an affordable rate. Realme mastered this idea in Realme XT model, which was announced on September 2019, at an emphatic price range starting at 15,999 (INR).

The Phone has a Gorilla Glass 5 with a hyperbola curve back design. Loaded with a huge 4000 mAH battery and a support of 20W flash charger for fast charging. Inspite of these attractive features, the biggest USP for this device is its 64MP camera. The middle buyers have never ever witnessed a transition phase in the camera technology at such a domestic price.

The Quad-Camera features an ultra-wide angle lens, portrait lens, macro-lens and as well as a 16MP-AI Front cam lens. The 64MP camera also has colour sensor filter with a standard Bayer RGB layout with 2x2 block for each virtual pixel. Full resolution shots use a demosaicing algorithm to calculate colour information for the actual pixels, and this technique is overcompensating for the larger use of green in the filter.

It also has a real-time high dynamic range (HDR) of up to 100-decibels, which is actually close to the human eye which is around 120dB. Regular image camera sensors are in the range of 60-dB. HDR as it name implies is a method that adds more dynamic range to photographs, where dynamic range is the ratio of light to dark in a photograph. 

• Landscapes : Big landscape photos usually have a lot of contrast between the sky and land, which is difficult for your camera to deal with in just one photo. With HDR, you can capture the sky’s detail without making the land look too dark, and vice versa.
• Portraits in sunlight : We all know that lighting is one of the most important aspect of a good photo, but too much lighting on someone’s face—like harsh sunlight—can cause dark shadows, bright glare, and other unflattering characteristics. HDR can even that all out and make your subject look better.
• Low-light and back light scenes : If your photo is looking a little too dark—which often happens if your scene has too much back light—HDR can brighten up the foreground without washing out the well-lit portions of your photo.
• Photos with movement : If any of your subjects are moving (or might move), HDR increases the chance of a blurry photo. 
• High-contrast scenes : Some photos look better with stark contrast between the dark and light parts of the photo, like if you have a dark shadow or silhouette you want to highlight. HDR will make this less intense, resulting in a less interesting photo.
• Vivid colours : If your scene is too dark or too light, HDR can bring some of the colour back. However, if you’re dealing with colours that are already very vivid, HDR can wash them out.
