Revolutionary Camera System and Performance
At the heart of the Realme GT 8 Pro lies Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, complemented by a dedicated Hyper Vision+ AI processor.

The camera system itself represents another breakthrough as it debuts the first Ricoh GR Camera System ever integrated into a smartphone. The setup includes GR-specific focal lengths of 28mm and 40mm, GR film-inspired color profiles, Snap Focus technology, and a remarkable 200MP telephoto lens for exceptional zoom capabilities.
