The realme GT8 Pro is Realme’s bold attempt to blend flagship performance, long battery life and camera innovation into a single package. Launched globally and arriving in India in November 2025, it stands out for three headline features: a Ricoh-collaborated camera system, a giant 7,000mAh battery with 120W wired charging, and top-tier silicon under the hood.

Design and display
Realme g8 Pro maintains the sporty DNA of the GT family while adding high-end features. For gaming and media, a large 6.79-inch AMOLED panel with 2K resolution and a high refresh rate (up to 144Hz) promises buttery animations and excellent daylight visibility. Additionally, the screen has contemporary features like an in-display fingerprint reader and a very high peak brightness for outdoor use. If screen quality is important to you, the GT8 Pro is a compelling choice thanks to these display specs.
Performance and software
The Realme GT8 Pro has a Snapdragon flagship under the hood (referred to as the Snapdragon 8 Elite/Gen 5 class on Realme’s website), along with up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB UFS storage on some trims. This is sufficient headroom for prolonged app use, mobile gaming, and intensive multitasking. The phone runs Android 16 with the Realme UI on top, offering a great deal of customization, and Realme guarantees a multi-year software update policy.
Cameras
The camera package is what makes the GT8 Pro unique. In order to optimize imaging and incorporate a flexible multi-sensor array (a 50MP primary, a 50MP secondary, and a very high-resolution 200MP sensor for detailed shots and long-reach cropping), Realme worked with Ricoh. Additionally, Realme teases a novel, partially swappable camera module concept that allows users to alter a device’s appearance. This innovation is targeted at consumers who value personalization. The natural tones and practical software modes, which draw inspiration from Ricoh’s photographic background, are praised in early reviews.
Battery and charging
Where many flagships trade battery for slimness, the GT8 Pro pushes capacity: Realme equips it with a dual-cell 7,000mAh Titan battery that supports extremely fast 120W wired charging and up to 50W wireless charging. Realme claims very fast top-ups (for example, 50% in roughly 15 minutes under lab conditions) — which positions the GT8 Pro as an excellent daily driver for users who hate worrying about range
Pricing and availability
In India the realme gt8 pro launched with a starting price around ₹72,999 for the 12GB/256GB trim, with higher RAM/storage options topping out near ₹78,999 for premium variants. Availability rolled out via Realme’s website and major e-commerce partners shortly after the November launch. Prices and exact configurations can vary by market and by limited editions (Realme also showcased special Dream and Aston Martin-inspired editions)
