Most of the info here isn’t technically new, but a fresh leak has revealed some additional details about the upcoming Realme GT 8 Pro. We are still expecting the phone to be unveiled alongside the regular GT 8 sometime this month.
The headlining design feature Realme has been teasing is the ability to swap the camera island, effectively changing its shape and design. Of course, you won’t be able to change the positioning of the actual camera modules, but you can still choose between a few islands thanks to a collab with Ricoh. In the included pictures, you can clearly see the phone sporting two different camera islands, and the teaser video suggested that there will be at least three options. Swapping might be a bit of an involved process, since there appear to be tiny screws holding the island to the phone, rather than some clever toolless mechanism.

As for specs, the GT 8 Pro is rumored to come with a 6.78″ QHD OLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. It will likely be a 10-bit, flat, LTPO panel, courtesy of BOE. The chipset will most probably be the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with up to 16GB of RAM. A 7,000 mAh battery is said to keep the lights on, equipped with 120W charging.
The Realme GT 8 Pro appears to be well-equipped in the camera department, featuring a 50MP LYT-808, 1/1.4″, OIS-enabled main snapper, a 50MP ultrawide (likely the Samsung ISOCELL JN5), and a 200MP, 1/1.56″, HP5 periscope telephoto with telemacro capabilities.
Also included in the mix are better speakers, haptics and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader. All of this will be fitted inside an IP69 body. So, clearly, the swappable camera islands won’t affect the body’s sealing properties. The phone should launch running Android 16 with Realme UI 7.
