realme, the global smartphone disruptor known for its rapid growth, has made a significant splash at Mobile World Congress 2025, unveiling the highly anticipated realme 14 Pro 5G and showcasing a groundbreaking Interchangeable-Lens Concept that hints at the future of mobile photography.
Building upon its three-year strategic plan, realme continues to push the boundaries of innovation, solidifying its position as a leader in performance and design.
realme 14 Pro 5G: A Symphony of Design and Power
The realme 14 Pro 5G makes a bold statement with its “Unique Pearl Design,” a collaboration with Vaelur Designers. Each device is carefully crafted with natural micro-crystal shell powder, giving it a unique pearlescent shine and silky halo. As a result, no two phones are ever identical. Additionally, it features advanced thermochromic pigments that allow the color to shift dynamically. At lower temperatures, the phone gradually transitions from pearl white to vibrant blue, mimicking the hues of deep-sea creatures.
The 14 Pro 5G is built for performance. It runs on the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy processor, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Additionally, its massive 6000mAh Titan Graphite battery provides long-lasting power. As a result, users can enjoy up to 10 hours of gaming and an impressive 17 hours of video playback on a single charge.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the Sony IMX882 50MP OIS camera, complemented by the innovative MagicGlow Triple Flash for stunning night portraits. The device also introduces AI Ultra Clarity 2.0, powered by NEXT AI, bringing AI Super-resolution capabilities to the mid-range segment.
Durability is another key feature, with the 14 Pro 5G achieving TÜV Rheinland Rugged Smartphone Certification and boasting IP69, IP68, and IP66 ratings for dust and water resistance, enabling users to capture underwater moments with confidence.
Interchangeable-Lens Concept: Redefining Mobile Imaging
realme’s most exciting reveal at MWC 2025 was its Interchangeable-Lens Concept. This groundbreaking prototype pushes the boundaries of mobile photography. Notably, it features a custom 1-inch Sony sensor and a proprietary lens mount system. As a result, users can attach DSLR lenses directly to their smartphones, unlocking new creative possibilities.
The concept showcases two pro-level lenses: a 73mm portrait lens and a 234mm telephoto lens, delivering optical clarity and zoom capabilities previously unattainable in mobile devices. From creamy bokeh to lossless 10x zoom, the concept promises to revolutionise mobile imaging.
While still in its prototype phase, the Interchangeable-Lens Concept underscores realme’s commitment to overcoming industry challenges, such as sensor size limitations and digital zoom compromises, by integrating modular optics with mobile technology.
AI-Powered Editing Innovations
Alongside the lens concept, realme previewed two cutting-edge AI imaging technologies designed to simplify photo and video editing. The AI Voice-based Retoucher allows users to edit photos using voice commands, enabling real-time adjustments like background removal, sky replacement, and adding effects. The AI Video Eraser offers effortless object and person removal from videos with a single tap.
