Alongside the Pro model, Realme has also unveiled the standard GT8 in China. While it doesn’t feature swappable camera modules like the Pro, Realme is still extending its Ricoh GR camera partnership to the vanilla model.
This includes the same five distinct Ricoh GR film tones, customizable focal lengths (28mm and 40mm), and unique GR-style shutter sounds. The phone’s camera setup includes a 50MP OIS main camera with a Ricoh GR’s 7P high-lens array and five layers of ultra-low-reflection coating.
This is paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. The front has a 16MP lens for selfies.
The GT8 comes in three shades — Classic White, Navy Blue, and Oxygen Green — each offering a different tactile experience. The White variant features AG frosted glass that resists fingerprints, while the Navy Blue model uses light-shifting frosted glass for a subtle, silky shimmer under light. The Oxygen Green edition stands out with its paper-like recycled leather back.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite
Under the hood, the GT8 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for top-tier speed. It has a dedicated R1 graphics chip that handles gaming performance and a 7000mm² VC cooling to keep thermals in check.
Up front is a 6.79-inch 2K BOE Q10+ OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 7000 nits of peak brightness. That’s the same screen used on the GT8 Pro.
The GT8 houses a massive 7000mAh battery with 100W charging. Realme claims the “Titan” battery uses 15% silicon content for better longevity. The phone also features IP68, IP69, and IP66 ratings.
Running Android 16 with Realme UI 7, the GT8 also brings Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, dual stereo speakers, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
