-
First Smartphone Globally with MediaTek Dimensity 9400+: The GT 8 Pro is the pioneer in integrating MediaTek's latest and most powerful flagship chipset. The Dimensity 9400+ promises unparalleled performance and efficiency, pushing the boundaries of mobile computing.
-
First Realme Phone with a Dedicated 1-inch Type Camera Sensor (Sony IMX989V): While 1-inch sensors have appeared in other flagships, this is the first time Realme has incorporated such a large, specialized sensor. The "V" variant is rumored to feature custom optimizations for enhanced video and low-light photography unique to this device.
-
First in India with a 200MP Main Camera featuring 2nd-Gen Pixel Binning Technology: While 200MP cameras exist, the GT 8 Pro introduces an advanced second-generation pixel-binning algorithm, designed to produce even more detailed and vibrant 12.5MP or 50MP output images, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
-
First Realme Device with 150-degree Ultra-Wide Angle Lens: The 50MP ultra-wide camera offers an exceptionally wide field of view, surpassing most competitors and allowing for more dramatic landscape and architectural shots.
-
First Realme Phone to Feature 120W SuperVOOC Charging with a 5,500mAh Battery: Combining such a large battery capacity with blazing-fast 120W charging ensures users get extended usage without long charging waits, a significant upgrade for power users.
-
Realme UI 6.0 Based on Android 15 Out-of-the-Box: Being among the first devices to launch directly with Android 15 and the latest iteration of Realme's custom UI, it offers users the freshest software experience from day one.
With its aggressive pricing and a feature set that pushes boundaries, the Realme GT 8 Pro is poised to be a strong contender in the premium flagship segment in India.
