Why is the REALME 12 PRO camera slow, unresponsive, or lagging?

Sometimes we need to use our camera as quickly as possible, but at certain times, our Realme camera may run slowly. Please note that RAM is critical for running any app, including the Realme camera. This phone has 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM. If we open too many apps, this RAM will not be enough to run the Realme camera app.

What happens when RAM is insufficient? This phone will try to close the oldest unused applications to provide more RAM space to avoid hanging or crashing. This process will cause some delay on the REALME 12 PRO to free up RAM.

Therefore, our REALME 12 PRO camera application will run slower. Please close all unused applications before taking photos or videos. If we want to take a serious photography moment, please consider rebooting or restarting the REALME 12 PRO to clean up foreground or background processes.

How to fix REALME 12 PRO camera autofocus problems or blurry images?

This phone has autofocus features. But some users find it hard to focus, and some get blurry photo results. Several possibilities can make it difficult to focus:

1. Try to clean the REALME 12 PRO camera lens. Why is this important? Because a small speck of dust in front of the camera will make the autofocus sensor keep focusing on that object. We have to always make sure our camera lens is clean by regularly cleaning it with a soft cloth.
2. Check whether our REALME 12 PRO camera glass lens has some scratches or not. This situation is similar to the dust problem. The autofocus will keep focusing on that scratch and make it hard to focus on the real object. When we see a bigger scratch, we suggest replacing the camera glass lens with the original one at an authorized Realme service center.
3. Some software/firmware versions will also make the REALME 12 PRO camera autofocus not work properly. Please try to back up with the latest firmware or Android version upgrade.
