Oscar-winning cinematographer to fine-tune the Realme 12 Pro series

Phone makers are going to great lengths to not just be “phone makers” – one way to come across as an attractive brand is through partnerships. Mainly, there are two paths to follow: build a collaboration with a person, or with a world-renowned brand.

You've seen this phenomenon happen countless times. For example, OnePlus and Xiaomi have teamed up with the wildly popular game Genshin Impact for exclusive special editions for their devices. Honor partners with Porsche.

Now, Realme is counting on Claudio Miranda to boost sales of the upcoming Realme 12 Pro series (via GSMArene).

Don't feel guilty if you don't know the name, because I'm almost 100% familiar with Claudio Miranda's work: he's an Oscar-winning cinematographer, best known for the visually appealing film Life of Pi. If you are a movie buff, you will also remember that Mister Miranda is also responsible for the wonderful cinematography of David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Or, if you went to the movies in 2022, you may have seen Top Gun: Maverick (also filmed by Miranda).

For now, Realme says the cinematographer will help “perfect the picture tuning of the Realme 12 Pro series,” whatever that means.

OK but when?

In fact, the Realme 12 Pro series is expected to launch very soon – their unveiling is scheduled for January 29. According to previous reports, both Realme phones will feature 6.7-inch AMOLED displays with FHD+ and 120Hz refresh rate. As Realme confirmed, the phones will feature 50-megapixel primary cameras ( Sony IMX890 sensor), as well as 8-megapixel ultra-wide snappers.

Meanwhile, the Realme 12 Pro will feature a 32-megapixel telephoto lens, while the 12 Pro+ model comes with a much better 64-megapixel telephoto lens.
