The excuse that you need a high-end phone to achieve good photographic results is no longer valid. In the market there are products with a very interesting price that allow you to make all kinds of catches. A good example is the realme 8 pro, which has just gone on sale today in Spain at a price of 279 euros (6+128 GB) or 299 euros (8+128 GB) and now we are putting it to the test to show you all its possibilities, including its striking 108 MP sensor . Be comfortable.
The versatility of a very balanced camera
You tend to think that only the highest-end phones are capable of taking quality photos, but that has long since ceased to be the case. Today there are much cheaper proposals that are capable of offering great photographic performance and not only this, but also great versatility to allow you to capture what you are looking for at all times.
El realme 8 pro is one of these options, a phone that has a camera made up of four sensors among which the main one of 108 MP stands out. Although that does not take away everything that his other three companions allow. So, first we explain what you should know about the camera and for this we begin by describing each of the four sensors and their respective focal lengths.
- Sensor 108 MP f1.88 main with which you can capture images with a very high resolution or take advantage of its large size to take 12 MP cutouts with the added option of being able to zoom 3x or 5x without loss of quality
- Sensor 8 MP f2.25 ultra-wide angle to capture wide scenes and where nothing is left out
- Sensor 2MP f2.4 macro to make the small big
- Sensor black and white to enhance the portrait with a resolution of 2MP f2.4
Additionally, the front camera offers a 16 MP sensor with which you can also take advantage of other series of features that give a lot of creative play.

8 types of images you can capture with the realme 8 Pro
And now, after getting to know the product in terms of hardware and from a photographic point of view, let's see what it is capable of offering with eight examples of images that you will be able to take with this phone. Oh, a tip, go to the end because there is an extra bonus.
1. Giant photographs
Having a 108 MP sensor has advantages, as you will see later, but it also allows you to print large images without fear of them being pixelated due to a lack of resolution. What's more, they are so large that with the same quality that other devices offer in maximum folio size prints, with this Realme 8 Pro you could print a photo of a size of 4 meters.
That is to say, it is brutal what you can achieve with such resolution. Although we must also recognize that few or practically no one will do something like this. Because let's see where a four meter painting is hung.
2. Capture, frame and share
If being able to print a 4-meter photograph is striking, what gives value to the use of such a sensor are things like to be able to make a quality cut enough to be usable in various types of media, from digital to print on paper.
And it is that with any image editor you will be able to frame that element that you want to tell what you had in mind when you took the photo without losing quality.
3. Bring what is far closer
The telephoto lens is one of those lenses that is most in demand by the majority of users. However, a telephoto lens isn't really necessary if you can digitally zoom without loss of quality by keeping a high resolution value.
With the realme 8 Pro you can use the focal length of the main sensor to get 12 MP photos like the one you see. And then, doing that digital cropping, zoom up to 3x and 5x without losing quality and keeping the 12 MP.
4. Let nothing be left out
The wide angle is still a very particular lens that is worth paying attention to and experimenting a lot with it. It not only allows you to put in the frame large objects such as a building, a cathedral, etc. It also gives you the option to magnify smaller objects. Here playing with perspectives can be super striking.
5. The portrait
The portrait mode with its particular bokeh effect It is a must today. On this occasion, an exclusive sensor to capture more detail and offer better blur is what this Realme 8 Pro offers and these are the results.
6. Diorama or miniature effect
Having good and diverse sensors is something important, but if the software doesn't go along… The Realme 8 Pro has a series of additional options that make the entire photographic and even video part very fun.
Timelapse mode with tilt-shift or diorama effect It allows you to create the feeling that what you are capturing is a model, a miniature. This with a little practice and a lot of imagination provides an extra creative level that can give a lot of play for both photo and video.
7. Make the small big
La macro photography It has been gaining more visibility in recent years. And it's normal, because you can do great things very small from day to day that go unnoticed.
8. The two sides of the camera
Finally, we have already said that the camera of this Realme 8 Pro must not only be seen as a set of sensors with their respective lenses and different focal lengths, but also as a set where the software has a lot to say.
With the mode dual recording you will be able to capture both what happens in front of it and behind it. This allows, for example, that you can share what you see and at the same time show your reaction. But it's just one type of use, you can do many more things and that's great when you have lots of creative ideas, want to record interviews, etc.
Also, the Realme 8 Pro camera app offers many more software options like star shooting mode, AI mixed portrait, etc.
And if you edit them?
As you can see, Achieving quality photographs is by no means something exclusive to the high-end. But if you also dedicate some time to editing them, you can make them look even better or convey more clearly what you have in mind.
Here you have some of the photographs that you used to see as they come out of the camera with a little editing, as well as the respective before and after.
In the end, everything will depend on the time you invest both in taking the photograph and in its subsequent editing. The latter is also something very personal and will not only affect your retouching skills, but also your own style and intention when it comes to conveying one sensation or another. But you can get a lot of game out of these photos that the Realme 8 Pro captures.
