Realme has been teasing the arrival of its next flagship, the GT 8 Pro, for both global and Indian markets. But the official launch date has remained a mystery—until now.
According to a new report from SmartPrix, Realme could unveil the GT 8 Pro on November 20th, pushing back from the previously rumored November 11th date.
The GT 8 Pro is Realme’s first smartphone made in collaboration with camera brand Ricoh GR. It features a 50MP main camera, a 200MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide shooter.
Realme has also integrated a Ricoh GR Mode, which recreates the brand’s iconic 28mm and 40mm focal lengths. According to the company, the GT 8 Pro supports Quick Focus Mode and an immersive viewfinder mode to make point-and-shoot photography feel more natural.
Design-wise, Realme is experimenting a bit too. The GT 8 Pro sports a modular camera island bezel, allowing for optional user-replaceable modules — something you don’t see every day. It’s also surprisingly rugged, carrying IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance — more than most phones in its class.
Powering the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
The display is a 2K flat panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 7000-nit peak brightness. It also houses a 32MP selfie camera and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Fueling it is a 7,000mAh battery that supports 120W wired and 50W wireless flash charging.
The GT 8 Pro starts at 3,999 yuan (around $560 / ₹50,000) for the 12GB + 256GB model. So, we can expect it to launch at around ₹60,000 in the Indian market.
