Realme seems to be changing how it rolls out its flagship phones. According to a new leak, both the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro are expected to launch together in October.
This would be a notable departure from the company’s recent pattern. Last year, Realme introduced the GT 7 Pro in November, but the standard GT 7 didn’t show up until May 2025.
That split launch not only separated the spotlight between devices but also meant a considerable hardware gap. While the GT 7 Pro featured Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the regular GT 7 settled for MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e.

This time, Realme appears to be aiming for parity. The leak suggests that both the GT 8 and GT 8 Pro will come powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850), Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship chip, expected to deliver major performance gains.
The phones are also rumored to feature competitive upgrades in screen quality, periscope zoom, and battery life, putting it in direct contention with other top-tier Android flagships.
Speaking of which, the Realme GT 8 Pro could feature a flat 6.85-inch 2K OLED display from Samsung. The screen is expected to have the same AR anti-glare coating as the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Fueling the phone will be a 7,000mAh+ battery put together in place with a metal middle frame. The phone will also reportedly support 100W fast charging.
On the camera front, the standout is expected to be a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor — possibly Samsung’s HP9 — which may also be used on Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Pro.
That is all we know about the GT 8 Pro; the vanilla model is still in secrecy. But expect to learn more about them soon.
