Get ready, tech enthusiasts! Realme is about to shake things up with the launch of its premium flagship, the Realme GT 8 Pro, in India today. This isn’t just any phone; it’s poised to be the second device in the country rocking the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, following closely on the heels of the OnePlus 15.
Realme isn’t stopping there; they’re also unveiling the race-themed Realme GT 8 Pro Dream Edition – a clear signal they’re aiming for the top tier.
This new model is the successor to last year’s GT 7 Pro and marks the beginning of a partnership with Ricoh Imaging. This collaboration brings an exclusive Ricoh GR-powered camera to the table, offering two focal lengths, 28mm and 40mm, and five unique Ricoh GR tones.
But here’s where it gets interesting: the Realme GT 8 Pro is set to feature a 50 MP main camera paired with a groundbreaking 200 MP telephoto lens. And that’s not all; it will also support stunning 4K 120fps Dolby Vision recording capabilities.
And this is the part most people miss… The Realme GT 8 Pro is introducing a switchable camera bump! Users can detach and replace it with round, square, or even robot-themed options. It’s like having a modular camera system, letting you customize the look with a simple click.
Under the hood, the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, with options for up to 16 GB of RAM and a massive 512 GB of storage. It will also be the first to run Realme UI 7.0, based on Android 16, straight out of the box.
Realme is also promising a powerhouse battery: the GT 8 Pro will pack a 7,000 mAh battery and support 120W SuperVOOC fast charging, along with 50W wireless charging.
The display is equally impressive, with a 2K resolution and a peak brightness of 7,000 nits.
Adding to the premium feel, the Realme GT 8 Pro will feature a paper-like leather back panel, crafted from recycled plastics and textiles. It will be available in Diary White and Urban Blue colors.
Finally, the price point is expected to be similar to that of the OnePlus 15 in India.
