Realme has confirmed that the Realme GT 8 series will be launched in China in October 2025, featuring two models: the Realme GT 8 and the more premium GT 8 Pro. While most leaks have focused on the Pro variant, recent information reveals key details about the standard GT 8 version.
Display and Battery
The Realme GT 8 will sport a 6.6-inch screen with a flat design, making it slightly smaller than the GT 8 Pro’s reported 6.85-inch 2K OLED panel. Despite the smaller display, the GT 8 is expected to pack a large 7,000mAh battery, offering impressive battery life for heavy users.
Performance and Software
Both Realme GT 8 models are expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, promising flagship-level performance with enhanced CPU and GPU efficiency. The duo will run on the new Realme UI 7 based on Android 16, featuring design refinements and improved user experience.
Additional Features and Expectations
- The GT 8 Pro is rumored to come with a 200MP periscope telephoto camera and advanced hardware upgrades such as an improved motor, dual speakers, a metal middle frame, and an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor.
- The GT 8 Pro is likely to cost more than its predecessor, with possible pricing starting around 3,999 Yuan (approximately $555).
- Though the GT 8 standard model leaks focus on battery and display, the device will presumably share other high-end features consistent with flagship norms, such as 5G connectivity and fast charging.
Realme GT 8 aims to offer a balance of compact size and large battery endurance, catering to users looking for flagship specs with enhanced usability, while the GT 8 Pro targets premium users with top-tier display and camera hardware.
