Industry-First Triple Combo
The Realme GT 8 Pro achieves what no other smartphone currently offers: 2K flat display + 200MP periscope telephoto + Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in a single device. This combination positions it uniquely in the flagship segment where manufacturers typically compromise on one or more features.
2K Flat LTPO Display: The 144Hz 10-bit BOE panel delivers flagship visuals without curved edges—preferred by many for reduced accidental touches and better screen protector compatibility.
200MP Periscope Telephoto: The Samsung HP5 (1/1.56-inch) sensor with periscope design enables exceptional long-range zoom capabilities rarely seen in smartphones.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5: Latest flagship processor ensures cutting-edge performance and AI capabilities.
Revolutionary Swappable Camera Module
Realme Vice President Xu Qi Chase confirmed users can swap the camera island design through collaboration with Ricoh. While camera units remain fixed, users can choose from three or more island designs to customize their phone’s look.
Leaked images show:

The islands are secured with small screws, requiring tools for swapping but ensuring secure attachment.
