Published May 29, 2021

In this face-paced world, the need to freeze moments in time is far greater than before.

Photography is one way of capturing anything that is worth revisiting - be it a picturesque sight or a memorable instance, it can help relight the feelings, sounds, and even smells of the moment.

That is where a good smartphone camera comes into play; a mobile device with quality camera makes for a really handy gear for the artistic eye.

But which camera is actually good, considering how everyone is touting theirs the best?

We think realme 8 Pro, with a 108MP Ultra Quad camera, ultra clear lenses and myriads of photo and video features, is a worthy pick in its price range; some of Pakistan's most loved smartphone photography enthusiasts agree.

The smartphone brand roped in 10 Instagram photographers to check if the realme 8 Pro camera can live up to its claims.

These eye-catching masterpieces captured by the realme 8 Pro are also displayed by the brand on their official Instagram account: @shotonrealme_pakistan

Check out all the realme photography Xperts who put the new phone's camera to test and what they think about it:

1. Abdul Mougees (@portraitsbymougees)

Abdul Mougees enjoyed using realme’s 108MP camera and the wide-angle lens to capture stunning portraits, specially impressed by the phone's Portrait mode and Dynamic Portrait filter which gave his photos a distinct, motion effect.

2. Muhammad Irfan (@hunzukutz_kahn)

Irfan shared his beautiful, landscape pictures using the tilt-shift feature of realme 8 Pro for an out-worldly feel.

He also made use of the phone's 5x zoom which allowed him to shoot from a great distance.

3. Ubaid Ullah Baig (@ubaidullahbaig_)

Instagram photographer Ubaid Ullah caught some cyclists mid-moment using the realme 8 Pro's 5x zoom feature as they traversed through the Karakoram Highway.

The Tilt-shift mode is evidently into play in the first photograph.

4. Ahsan Javed’s (@theahsanjaved)

Javed's work mostly focuses on landscapes and he captured some magnificent shots using the phone's HDR and AI mode, which helps decide the most favourable setting for a phone camera on its own.

The High Dynamic Range (HDR) detailed the shadowed areas the sky, and clouds while the Ancient Building mode of the AI lens makes the Shah Faisal mosque in Islamabad look all the more grand.

5. Zaroon Ahmad Khan (@zaroonahmadkhan)

Instagram photographer Zaroon thinks Dynamic Bokeh mode for portraits is the best feature in realme 8 Pro.

He made use of the feature to capture some ethereal moments with the smartphone’s camera.

6. Usman Zafar (@usman_zfr)

He used the Tilt-shift mode of the new realme 8 Pro with its Ultra-wide angle to put life in the most ordinary moments.

Tilt-shift photos make the world look tiny, almost as if you are looking at a diorama, whereas, the Ultra-wide Angle gives a 16mm field of view to enhance pictures making it a befitting gear for landscape photography.

7. UmerKhalid (@tasveerkahani)

As someone who likes playing with light and Light Painting modes of a camera, Khalid does great photography in low-light and when equipped with the new realme 8 Pro with a f 1/1.52 aperture, the results are a sight to behold.

The phone’s Cyberpunk Mode gave a grunge effect to the photos, making them look right out of a Hollywood movie.

8. Shehzad Mohammad Ali (@shehzadmohammadali)

Mohammad's favourite feature is the Starry Night Time-lapse feature which he used to capture a breathtaking still of the night sky, lining the bioluminescent waves of the sea.

The camera adds a galactic feel to the imagery, looking right out of a distant planet.

9. Wajeeha Ijaz (@jeeya_graphy94)

The only female photographer on the list, Ijaz utilised realme 8 Pro's Portrait mode to take some spectacular Bokeh images, highlighting her subject in a unique way.

Her favorite part was the phone's ability to capture high-speed shutter pictures which allowed her to photograph the exact moment she was aiming for.

10. Munib Asad Malik (@munibasad)

Malik had great fun combining the smartphone's low-light imagery and Black & White portrait mode for crisp and dramatic shots etched in time.
