Realme GT8 Series to be launched on October 21 with GT8 Pro Featuring Mechanical assembly design and Ricoh GR Imaging System

Realme has confirmed that the GT8 series will launch in China on October 21st, with the company revealing today that the GT8 Pro will feature an industry-first mechanical assembly design that allows for interchangeable lens modules.

Users can easily swap the phone’s Deco component in three simple steps, creating different designs. At launch, the phone will include both a “round” design and a “square” design case. First-time buyers across all channels will receive a complimentary metal square lens decoration and phone case set, covering both the lens module and protective case.

In addition to White and Blue, realme has shared an image of the phone in Green, showcasing a distinct camera Deco. The company emphasized that no two Blue or Green units are identical. The back panel is made of paper-like recycled leather, giving each phone a unique texture.

The paper-like recycled leather is an environmentally friendly, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant material certified by the Global Recycling Standard (GRS), offering a smooth, premium feel. The phone also uses the Photon Nano-Engraving Process, which achieves 0.02mm precision with crisp edges and clear layers while producing no additional waste gas or wastewater.

The realme GT8 Pro will debut the Ricoh GR imaging system and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. It will sport a 2K 144Hz Sky Screen from BOE with customized Q10+ luminous material, and the images suggest a 200MP periscope telephoto camera. The device runs Android 16-based realme UI 7.0 out of the box.

The GT8 Pro is expected to pack a 7000mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, along with IP68 water and dust resistance, a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, dual 115E speakers, and an X-axis linear motor.

Further details about the realme GT8 series are expected in the coming days ahead of the official launch next week.
