Realme is gearing up to expand its flagship lineup with the much-anticipated Realme GT 8 Pro, expected to debut alongside the regular GT 8 later this month. While most details about the device have already surfaced in earlier leaks, fresh rumors provide new insights into what could be one of the most innovative smartphones of the year.
One of the standout design features teased by Realme is the ability to swap the camera island, allowing users to change the shape and look of the phone’s rear module. Although the positions of the cameras remain fixed, a collaboration with Ricoh offers at least three design options. The mechanism for swapping appears to involve tiny screws, suggesting a careful, if slightly manual, process. Impressively, the swappable islands will not compromise the phone’s IP69-rated body, ensuring high-level water and dust resistance.
Under the hood, the Realme GT 8 Pro is rumored to pack top-tier specifications. It is expected to feature a 6.78-inch QHD OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, likely a 10-bit flat LTPO panel supplied by BOE. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM, promising flagship-level performance. A large 7,000 mAh battery with 120W fast charging ensures extended usage without frequent recharging.
The camera setup on the GT 8 Pro also impresses, with a 50MP LYT-808 main sensor featuring OIS, a 50MP ultrawide lens (likely Samsung ISOCELL JN5), and a 200MP HP5 periscope telephoto camera with telemacro capabilities. Additional enhancements include improved speakers, refined haptics, and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, all integrated within a premium, durable chassis.
Running Android 16 with Realme UI 7, the device promises the latest software features along with Realme’s custom optimizations. With its combination of modular design, cutting-edge hardware, and flagship-level photography capabilities, the Realme GT 8 Pro is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing smartphones of the year.
Rumors suggest the official unveiling could happen this month, and tech enthusiasts are eager to see how Realme delivers on these bold innovations.
