According to Derrek, the Realme GT 8 Pro’s display resolution has been increased from 1.5K to 2K, the refresh rate increased from 120Hz to 144Hz, and peak brightness pushed from 6,000nits to 7,000nits. The design also shifts from a curved screen with small corners to a flat display with larger R-corners.

Eye comfort features have been strengthened with global full-brightness DC dimming enabled by default, a 1-nit eye-care mode, and circular polarisation protection. Colour accuracy has also been upgraded from software-level calibration to hardware-level chip calibration.

Derek explained that although a 2K screen demands more power, advances in battery energy density have allowed Realme to equip the GT 8 Pro with a 7,000mAh-class battery. He added that beyond resolution, Realme has enhanced multiple aspects like refresh rate, design, brightness, and eye protection, making the GT 8 Pro’s screen one of the best available in its price segment.

The other poster released by the brand confirms that the Realme GT 8 Pro will feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto. The company’s Marketing Communication Director, Aric Song, revealed that the camera will support 3x optical zoom and 12x lossless zoom.
