Realme started offering four major Android updates to its devices last year, beginning with the Realme GT 7. Some more devices later arrived with this updated software policy, but the overall list is still too short, as Realme hasn’t expanded the new policy beyond the premium segment.

We’ve curated a list of Realme devices that promise four years of Android OS updates. Take a look at it below:

• Realme GT 8 Pro (last update: Android 20)
• Realme GT 8 (last update: Android 20)
• Realme GT 7 (last update: Android 19)
• Realme GT 7T (last update: Android 19)

If your Realme device is on the list, you’re in luck. But millions of Realme users are getting up to three Android OS updates, while brands like Samsung offer up to six on many of their budget phones, and their high-end phones get seven OS updates.

The four Android OS update policy is very welcoming from Realme, but it really shouldn’t be limited to premium phones. Even premium mid-range phones, such as the Realme 16 Pro+, which costs up to INR 45,000, only guarantee up to three Android OS updates.

Realme really needs to up its software update policy, as its competitors are doing it aggressively. Take Motorola, for example: the brand isn’t well-reputed for software updates, but it has been greatly improving rollout speed for the last few months. Not just that, the brand now promises up to five major OS updates for many of its mid-range phones, and recently matched Google and Samsung by promising seven years of Android OS support for the Motorola Signature smartphone.

Its Chinese rivals, including Oppo and Xiaomi, are also ahead with up to five major Android OS updates. Additionally, they promise longer updates to newer mid-range phones. So, I guess Realme wouldn’t want its customers to switch to other brands just for this reason, and therefore, we’ll likely see an improved software update policy anytime soon, at least for mid-range phones.

The post Realme devices eligible for four major Android OS updates: Here’s the complete list appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Pricing and Avaibility

The GT8 starts at 2,899 yuan (around $400) for the 12GB + 256GB model, and goes up to 4,099 yuan (around $565) for the 16GB + 1TB variant. Here’s the full pricing lineup in China:

• 12GB+256GB: 2,899 CNY (~Rs 35,850 | ~$410)
• 16GB+256GB: 3,199 CNY (~Rs 39,560 | ~$450)
• 12GB+512GB: 3,399 CNY (~Rs 42,060 | ~$480)

Next month (September), MediaTek and Qualcomm are expected to unveil their next-generation flagship chipsets, namely the Dimensity 9500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. Several reports have claimed that the Xiaomi 16 series, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, will debut by the end of September in China. It is also speculated that the Vivo X300 series featuring the Dimensity 9500 may also debut in the same month. In October, Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme will announce their flagship offerings in China. A new Weibo post, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, reveals the sequence of the Ouga Group phones that will debut in October.

Flagship phones debuting in October

According to the tipster, the Ouga Group will unveil ColorOS 16 in September, followed by the announcement of new phones running on this system in October. In October, Oppo will take the covers off the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro, whereas OnePlus will unveil the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6.

While the Find X9 lineup will feature the Dimensity 9500 SoC, the OnePlus 15 will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 onboard. The OnePlus Ace is also expected to feature a Snapdragon 8-series chip, but it is unclear whether it will use the existing Snapdragon 8 Elite or the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

This leak seemingly puts an end to claims that a third device named the Find X9 Plus will also be a part of the lineup. Also, this time there will be no OnePlus Ace 6 Pro launching alongside the Ace 6. It remains to be seen whether the company will launch the Ace 6 Pro in Q1 2026.

Realme has already confirmed that the Realme GT 8 series will be announced in October in China. The lineup will include two devices, the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro. So far, the leaks have mainly focused on the Pro edition, but now a new leak that has surfaced on Weibo reveals that the Realme GT 8 will be a smaller device compared to the Pro edition. The leak has tipped the display and battery capacity of the standard model.

Realme GT 8 display, battery size leak

Reports have suggested that the Realme GT 8 Pro will feature a 6.85-inch 2K OLED panel. As far as the standard model is concerned, the above leak suggests that it will be a smaller device, as it will pack a 6.6-inch screen with a flat design.

Despite packing a comparatively smaller display, the Realme GT 8 may pack a battery of around 7,000mAh, suggests the new leak. The tipster did not reveal anything else about the device. Rumours suggest that the GT 8 and GT 8 Pro will both feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.

The GT 8 series is also expected to arrive with design improvements compared to the previous generation. One of the major highlights of the GT 8 duo is that it will run on the next-generation Realme UI 7-based Android 16.

According to reports, the Realme GT 8 Pro’s rear camera setup is expected to feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. It is also said to be equipped with an improved motor, dual speakers, a metal middle frame, and an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

The post Realme GT 8 to feature a 6.6-inch screen, a 7,000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

The next wave of Android flagships is expected to roll out starting in September, and Xiaomi might be the first to launch. 

The Xiaomi 16 series is rumored to debut with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 as early as next month. While that remains unconfirmed, we now have official word on another major release. 

This week, Realme Vice President Wang Wei confirmed that the GT 8 series will launch in October. Earlier, Wang teased that the new lineup would feature a completely redesigned look and “will definitely have surprises.”

Those surprises might come in the form of hardware that puts Realme right next to the biggest names in Android. Both the GT 8 and GT 8 Pro are expected to run on Qualcomm’s yet-to-be-released Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850).

What to expect?

The GT 8 Pro is rumored to feature a flat 6.85-inch 2K OLED display from Samsung, complete with an AR anti-glare coating similar to what’s on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. 

Under the hood, there could be a massive 7,000mAh+ battery paired with 100W fast charging. Realme is also reportedly using a metal middle frame to keep things sturdy.

On the camera side, the standout upgrade might be a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor, possibly Samsung’s HP9. That’s the same camera hardware rumored for Oppo’s upcoming Find X9 Pro. 

For security and durability, it will reportedly feature a 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and a metal frame.

There’s no word on pricing yet. The Realme GT 7 Pro launched at a starting price of 3,599 Yuan ($500). So its successor could land in a similar range, if not a bit higher.
