GT 8 vs GT 8 Pro: Key Differences
Unlike the Pro model with its 200MP telephoto and interchangeable camera module, the standard GT 8 features a more modest camera setup with a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. However, it retains the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, making it ideal for gamers and power users who prioritize performance over camera versatility.
Premium Design Meets Performance
The Realme GT 8 boasts an impressive 7,000 nits peak brightness display with hardware-level eye protection and Dolby Vision support. The 7,000mm² vapor chamber cooling system ensures sustained performance during intensive gaming sessions, while the dedicated R1 gaming chip enhances frame rates.
Camera Excellence with Ricoh Partnership
The rear camera features a 50MP primary sensor with Ricoh GR anti-glare coating and OIS, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom. While not as powerful as the Pro’s 200MP shooter, it’s more than capable for everyday photography.
Battery Champion
The 7,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging delivers all-day power for even the heaviest users. The inclusion of 10W reverse charging adds extra utility for charging accessories on the go.
