The standout feature is the 200MP periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and up to 120x digital zoom, positioning the GT 8 Pro as a serious contender for photography enthusiasts.

Modular Design Offers Customization

The smartphone features a new design with three interchangeable camera modules: square, round, and a “robot” style, available in White, Blue, and Green colors. This modular approach gives buyers flexibility and represents a refreshing design change from its predecessor.

In China, the base variant (12GB RAM + 256GB storage) is priced at 3,999 yuan (approximately ₹50,000). Indian pricing could range between ₹50,000-₹65,000, making it competitive against the OnePlus 15 (launching November 13) and iQOO 15 (launching November 26).
