realme’s MWC 2025 showcase crazy lens concept & the Pearl Phone

Realme has never been shy about pushing boundaries, and realme’s showing MWC 2025 proves they’re not slowing down.

Recently, the company used the event to announce a bold three-year strategic plan, as well as unveiling the stunning realme 14 Pro 5G and a revolutionary Interchangeable-lens Concept.

Realme 14 Pro 5G: A Pearl of a Phone

Let’s start with the realme 14 Pro 5G. This isn’t just another smartphone; it’s a statement piece.

Collaborating with Vaelur Designers, Realme has crafted a “Unique Pearl Design” that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Thanks to natural micro-crystal shell powder, each phone boasts a unique pearlescent shine and silky halo. And if that wasn’t enough, the thermochromic pigments allow the phone to shift from pearl white to vibrant blue in cooler temperatures, a mesmerizing visual effect.

But the 14 Pro 5G isn’t just a pretty face. Under the hood, it packs a punch with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy processor and a massive 6000mAh Titan Graphite battery. Realme promises exceptional gaming performance with 10 hours of gaming and 17 hours of video playback.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Sony IMX882 50MP OIS camera and the new MagicGlow Triple Flash for stunning night portraits. The introduction of AI Ultra Clarity 2.0, powered by NEXT AI, brings AI Super-resolution to the mid-range, a feature usually reserved for flagship devices.

And for those who love adventure, the 14 Pro 5G is also built tough. It boasts TÜV Rheinland Rugged Smartphone Certification with IP69, IP68, and IP66 ratings, meaning you can even capture underwater moments for up to an hour!

Realme Interchangeable-lens Concept: A Mobile Photography Revolution?

However, the real showstopper was the reveal of realme’s Interchangeable-lens Concept.

This prototype is a bold leap into the future of mobile photography. Imagine attaching DSLR lenses directly to your smartphone!

Realme has done just that, featuring a 1-inch customized Sony sensor and a proprietary lens mount system.

With two pro-level lenses—a 73mm portrait lens and a 234mm telephoto lens—this concept delivers optical clarity previously unimaginable in a smartphone. From creamy bokeh to lossless 10x zoom, the possibilities are endless.

While this concept is still in its prototype phase, it signifies Realme’s commitment to overcoming industry limitations. They’re exploring solutions for sensor size and digital zoom compromises by integrating modular optics with mobile technology.

AI-Powered Editing: A Glimpse into the Future

Adding to the excitement is realme’s preview of two cutting-edge AI imaging technologies.

The AI Voice-based Retoucher allows users to edit photos with simple voice commands, while the AI Video Eraser can remove unwanted objects or people from videos with a single tap. Personally, this feature would be really great to have to make videos appear cleaner!

What Does This Mean for the Future?

The three new announcements during MWC 2025 showcases realme is not just aiming to compete; but is also aiming to redefine the smartphone experience.

From the unique design of the 14 Pro 5G to the groundbreaking Interchangeable-lens Concept, Realme is pushing the boundaries of innovation.
