Realme CEO Madhav Sheth shared a teaser on Monday for a new Realme phone that will sport the Samsung’s newly made 64MP GW1 sensor in a quad rear camera setup along with a camera sample. Now, the Realme has shared a poster on Weibo that shows the back of the upcoming Realme device.

Realme says that the device will be launched in China in H2 2019. However, Sheth confirmed on Twitter that the 64MP phone will be launched in India first.

The image shows a vertically placed quad camera setup aligned to the left side of the back. The 64MP sensor sits at the top surrounded by yellow rings. The LED flash sits just right to the camera array.

The poster and the Weibo post also carry the details of the 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW1 sensor, which is seemingly identical to what Sheth tweeted out. The sensor is 1/1.72-inch in size and has 1.6-micron pixel.
