What is DOL-DHR?
Digital overlap HDR (DOL-HDR) delivers the data from multiple exposures on a line-by-line basis rather than frame by frame, reducing HDR combination artifacts. This improves picture quality, especially under poor light conditions, compared to multi-exposure HDR.
The Realme will also feature an 8 MP OV08D10 ultra-wide-angle lens. It is worth noting that this is the same 50 MP primary sensor coming with the OnePlus 12 smartphone. Obviously, there are more elements to be considered in the camera setup. But we can see that the BBK Electronics Group will be adopting the same primary camera for two of its flagships.
Under the hood, the Realme GT5 Pro will carry the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC with 12GB, 16GB, and 24GB of RAM. These specifications where confirmed on Geekbench benchmark.
