A periscopic camera that focuses on the top
The real protagonist of the new rumors is undoubtedly the photographic sector. The Realme GT 8 Pro should mount a Periscopic camera with 200 megapixel telephoto lens. According to the leaker, it could be the sensor Samsung HP9the same that is expected to see on board the future Find X9 Pro. We are talking about a generous sensor (1/1.4 inch) which, thanks to the 4 × 4 pixel binning technology, would be able to capture light and sharp 12 megapixel shots even in low light conditions, with 2.24 μm effective pixels.
The informant goes further, stating that this could become the solution, as regards the telephoto lens, more powerful in its segment if it is to reach the final production. A giant step that testifies to Realme’s will to compete with equal arms with the sacred monsters of photography on a smartphone.
Display and performance: change course with 2K
The news certainly does not stop there. Another significant change would concern the display: the Realme GT 8 Pro should abandon the OLED screen with curved edges and 1.5K resolution of the previous generation to adopt a flat oled panel with 2K resolutiona choice that could make many users happy who do not like curved screens.
Under the hood, to push everything, we would find the chipset Snapdragon 8 Elite 2a guarantee in terms of performance. Appreciated characteristics of the predecessor are also confirmed, such as the Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor integrated into the display and IP certification for water and dust resistance.
Monstrous autonomy and a price that goes up
If the specifications on camera and display were not enough, previous reports had already anticipated other impressive features. There is talk of a battery with a “monstrous” ability of about 7,000 mAhcombined with a quick charging from 100 W.
An combination that, on paper, could guarantee exceptional autonomy. Everything would be enclosed in a frame with a lateral metal frame and animated by Realme UI 7 Based on Android 16.
However, such an enhanced hardware will inevitably have an impact on the wallet. There is an increase in price, with a possible starting cost in China of 3.999 Yuan (about 490 euros at the current gearbox).
Finally, at the end of the indiscretion, the leaker also hints at future plans for the other product lines: the secondary series of the company, which could be the Realme Neo 8it should also receive periscopic cameras (Sony IMX882 and Samsung JN5) and its launch is expected after that of the GT 8 Pro.
In short, the picture that emerges for the Realme GT 8 Pro is that of a real top of the range in the round, a smartphone that does not seem to want to compromise. Obviously, since it is rumors, it will be necessary to wait for the official confirmations, but the premises to see one of the most interesting flagships of the last part of the year are all there.
