Realme has launched the Realme GT8 and Realme GT8 Pro smartphones in China. Both Phones have a 6.79-inch 2K 144Hz Sky Dome OLED flat screen with 3200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, and 360Hz four-finger sampling rate powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage.
Realme GT8 Pro is the first realme phone to feature a 200MP Ultra-Light and Shadow Periscope Telephoto camera. Realme GT8 series packs a 7000mAh second-generation Titan battery, paired with 100W (GT8) / 120W (GT8 Pro) light-speed charging. Both phones run Android 16 with realme UI 7.0 on top and come with IP66 + IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
Realme GT8 Pro comes with the industry’s first detachable, assembleable, and replaceable Deco, allowing you to experience the fun of assembly on your mobile phone.
- Functional Robot: The initial form of the Realme GT8 Pro lens module, the flash, color temperature sensor, and star-shaped screws form a robot shape, which is vivid and unique.
- Classic Round Deco: The classic round lens module, the enduring beauty of order
Square Deco: The metal porthole design, the tough streamline and the large R angle of the fuselage are visually unified, with both performance and beauty. - Transparent Rubik’s Cube: The transparent Rubik’s Cube makes the Functional Robot look like wearing a space helmet, with a futuristic and technological sense at your fingertips.
Realme GT 8 Pro will be the first device to feature a camera system co-engineered by the two companies, incorporating features from Ricoh’s acclaimed GR series. At the heart of the GT 8 Pro’s new camera system is an ultra-high transparency lens group, co-developed to meet official Ricoh GR optical standards. According to the announcement, this lens has been engineered to deliver high anti-glare performance, increased resolving power, and minimal distortion, ensuring clarity and purity in captured images.
The realme GT 8 Pro features a dedicated “Ricoh GR Mode,” which includes a customized user interface designed to replicate the operational feel of Ricoh GR cameras.
- Fast Operation: The mode offers a fast startup speed and incorporates the signature shutter click sound from the Ricoh GR IV camera.
- Snap Mode: This function allows users to preset a specific focus distance, enabling quick, sharp captures without the need for autofocus.
- Viewfinder Mode: For an unobstructed view, this mode hides all on-screen settings, allowing users to focus solely on framing their shot.
- To provide users with creative flexibility, the GT 8 Pro integrates several classic Ricoh GR features. The camera system offers two signature full-frame equivalent focal lengths: 28mm for capturing wider street scenes and 40mm for a more focused perspective on specific subjects.
- The device also comes with five exclusive “Classic RICOH GR Tones”: Standard, Positive Film, Negative Film, Monotone, and High-Contrast B&W. For further personalization, a “Customized Tone” function allows users to adjust effect parameters to create their own unique styles.
