Realme has launched the GT 8 Pro smartphone featuring unique camera innovations. This flagship stands out with a modular camera system co-engineered with Ricoh, a legendary Japanese camera brand.
The rear camera module uses a magnetic mechanism secured by two Torx screws. Users can swap out the module’s decorative covers easily, allowing personalization with square, round, or even robot-themed designs. Additionally, BMW collaboration offers 3D printed models, and users can create their own designs with 3MF files. This modular camera customization is exclusive to the GT 8 Pro model.
Ricoh’s expertise shapes the device’s camera system, especially the main sensor which measures 1/1.56 inches with a wide f/1.8 aperture. The phone offers five signature Ricoh GR color tones, including standard, positive film, negative film, black & white monotone, and high-contrast black & white, lending a professional cinematic feel to photos.
The camera setup includes a 200MP periscope lens with 3x optical and 12x lossless zoom, equivalent to a 65mm telephoto. It has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to reduce blur. An ultrawide 50MP camera covers a wide 116-degree field of view, similar to a 16mm lens. Video recording supports up to 8K at 30fps. A 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.
Besides photography, the phone sports a 6.79-inch AMOLED panel with QHD+ resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. It achieves peak brightness of 4000 nits, ensuring clear outdoor visibility. The display is flat and uses a punch-hole for the front camera.
Under the hood, the Realme GT 8 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage up to 1TB. The custom R1 graphics chip helps optimize battery life, while connectivity includes WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0.
Powering the device is a large 7000mAh battery supporting ultra-fast 120W charging. The phone runs Realme UI 7 atop Android 16 for the latest software experience. It meets IP66, IP68, and IP69 standards, offering top-tier dust and water resistance.
Pricing starts at a competitive level for flagship specs, currently only available in China. Realme has hinted at an imminent release in Indonesia. This model combines cutting-edge photography technology with modular design, offering users a truly unique flagship experience valued around $450 to $550 depending on configuration.
