  Realme launched the Realme X3 SuperZoom in May 2020 with a periscope telephoto camera, but after that, the company didn't launch any smartphone with a regular telephoto or a periscope telephoto unit.  However, Realme posted an image on X suggesting the return of the periscope camera on its smartphones.  The picture posted by Realme shows a circular camera island having two circles and one rectangle. The two circles are possibly for the primary and ultrawide cameras, while the rectangle hints at the periscope telephoto camera.  Realme didn't divulge anything about the camera or the phone, but it took a dig at the recently announced Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max by saying, "Not only Max can zoom."  For those unaware, the iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 12MP periscope telephoto unit with 5x optical zoom, making it the first iPhone to sport a periscope camera.  Circling back to Realme, the device in question could be the Realme GT5 Pro, which is rumored to come with the yet-to-b

  One phone is on everyone's mind these days as it prepares to make its official debut.  The iPhone 15 Pro Max will break with tradition and become more than just a lager iPhone Pro - the periscope telephoto camera will make it a considerably more exciting cameraphone than its siblings in the upcoming iPhone 15 lineup.  And with Apple's upcoming flagship topping our week 36 chart, it was Huawei's newly announced Mate 60 Pro+ to slot in second.  The most popular phone in our database for 2023 - the Samsung Galaxy A54 makes it three different makers on the podium.  Last week's leader - the Huawei Mate 60 Pro - is now down to fourth Galaxy S23 Ultra, which slides down to fifth.  We then have the Redmi Note 12 Pro at sixth.

This is expandable via Huawei’s proprietary NM card format (which after all these years still tops out at 256GB).  The display is a 6.82” LTPO OLED, just like the Pro, but the plus is a bit sharper – it has 1,260 x 2,720px. This is a 10-bit panel with a refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz and has 300Hz touch sampling.  Brightness is controlled by a 1,440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming.
