As realme prepares to launch the GT 8 Pro in China, the brand has also confirmed that the upcoming flagship phone will be making its way here as well. Aside from this confirmation, the company has revealed that the device will run on the newly unveiled Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.
According to realme, the GT 8 Pro might be the first smartphone to debut in Malaysia with the chip, much like its predecessor was the first to introduce the Snapdragon 8 Elite here last year. The brand went on to highlight the AnTuTu benchmark score of over 4 million, promising that the GT 8 Pro is not merely about raw power, but “represents a seamless fusion of speed, efficiency, gaming and user experience”.
The company claims that the GT 8 Pro is capable of simultaneously running two heavy-load games like PUBG and Genshin Impact at high frame rates for an hour. This performance is due to realme’s Hyper Vision+ AI Chip and GT BOOST 3.0.
While the brand did not reveal any other details on the phone in its announcement, realme vice president Chase Xu recently shared some teasers on Weibo. In these posts, he confirmed that the device will be equipped with a 2K resolution screen and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera.
Another teaser declared that the GT 8 Pro will feature the boldest and most interesting design to date. This post included an image of what may be a revamped camera module.
As for when the phone will be arriving on our shores, realme has yet to mention a specific date. As it will be debuting in China next month, we can probably expect a local launch not too long after.
