In the front, the Realme GT 8 Pro 5G display with a stunning 2K resolution has an absolutely smooth touch-response rate of up to 144 Hz, as well as a massive peak brightness of up to 700 nits, one of the brightest panels ever mounted on a smartphone.

Realme GT 8 Pro 5G: Performance and Hardware

The GT 8 Pro 5G comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a chip that Qualcomm claims is its most advanced for flagship Androids made in 2025. This is combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, providing unparalleled app launches, multitasking capabilities and console-like gaming performance.

For the heavy tasks, Realme has upped their case by installing a state-of-the-art cooling system, which is a 7000 sq mm vapour chamber cooling system (one of the largest – if not the largest) in any smartphone for peak performance.

The inclusion of the Hyper Vision+ AI chip further enhances on-device AI tasks such as real-time image processing, video rendering, and power optimisation.

For the GT 8 Pro's triple camera setup, Realme is teaming up with Ricoh GR Imaging, which emphasises professional photography.

At the same time, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera will provide both optical zoom capabilities and super high-resolution image capture to help complement traditional lenses and improve performance across all of them through its partnership with Ricoh GR.
