Realme GT 8 Pro: Details

At the core of the GT 8 Pro is Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with Realme’s dedicated Hyper Vision AI chip. Realme said this dual-chip setup boosts graphics performance and imaging capabilities, enabling features such as native-level 2K Super Resolution and 120Hz Super Frame Rate in supported games. The phone also includes the company’s GT Boost 3.0 engine, which uses AI to balance thermal performance, power consumption and frame stability during heavy gaming sessions.

 

Realme is also emphasising camera upgrades this year through its collaboration with Ricoh. The GT 8 Pro carries a 50MP main camera, a 200MP telephoto lens and a 50MP ultra-wide shooter. With Ricoh’s involvement, the camera system gets a new Ricoh GR Mode, designed to replicate the brand’s popular GR-series photo style. Users also get five GR-inspired film tones — Positive Film, Negative Film, Standard, High-Contrast B&W and Monotone — to fine-tune the look of their photos. 

  In terms of design, Realme is offering the GT 8 Pro in Diary White and Urban Blue. The Diary White variant features a frosted glass finish, while Urban Blue uses a paper-textured vegan leather back. What stands out, however, is the customisable camera island: buyers can switch between circular and rectangular module designs.

 

On the front, the GT 8 Pro features a 2K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 7000 nits. Powering the device is a 7000mAh battery with support for 120W wired charging.
