The two phones also share a similar triple rear camera setup, featuring a 48MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide snapper (124.8 degree FOV), and an 8MP 2x telephoto shooter. However, the Pro variant uses the Sony IMX586 48MP sensor, while the standard model offers the IMX582 sensor. It’s reported that the IMX582 sensor doesn’t support 4K/60fps video recording like the IMX586.
