Realme GT 8 Pro to feature swappable camera module

A leak that emerged earlier this month suggested that the Realme GT 8 Pro could be equipped with a round camera module. However, an image shared later by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station revealed a slightly different design for the camera deco. Today, the company has cleared the doubts surrounding the Realme GT 8 Pro by confirming that it will indeed feature a swappable camera deco.

According to the teaser, the GT 8 Pro will feature a detachable camera module that users can swap or rearrange. Realme has presented three different shapes in its preview video: a round design, a square option, and an irregular “robot-inspired” version.

This fresh approach looks to move past the usual circular or rectangular camera cut-outs and introduces a hands-on element, letting users personalise the look of their device. Alongside this design innovation, the GT 8 Pro is expected to house a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, also described as the “Ultra Eye”. However, there is no information about the other camera sensors of the device.

As per other reports, the Realme GT 8 Pro will launch with a 2K 144Hz AMOLED screen co-developed with BOE, featuring Q10+ material for improved brightness and eye protection. Official details mention a 4,000-nit peak brightness level. Under the hood, the device will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, supported by Realme’s dedicated R1 display chip, described as a “dual-chip” arrangement aimed at enhancing performance for gaming and visuals.

The Realme GT 8 Pro will pack a 7,000mAh+ battery with 120W wired charging. Additional features include stereo speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and 3D ultrasonic fingerprint recognition.

As far as launch is concerned, the Realme GT 8 Pro is set to launch in October in China.
