Realme seems to be gearing up for its next flagship phone, the Realme GT 8 Pro, and if early leaks are anything to go by, it’s going to be a major leap over its predecessor. After launching the Realme GT 7 Pro in India last November with a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the brand is now reportedly working on packing even more power, a huge battery, and an impressive camera upgrade into the GT 8 Pro.
Leaks
According to tipster Digital Chat Station, the Realme GT 8 Pro will feature the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. This would be Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship processor, promising faster performance, better AI, and more efficient power management. It would also mark another first for Realme if they manage to bring the Elite 2 to market early.
In terms of design, the GT 8 Pro is tipped to continue with a flat 2K resolution display and a sturdy metal frame — a combination that should appeal to both gamers and power users. It’s also likely to stick with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor introduced with the GT 7 Pro, which offers quicker and more reliable unlocking even with wet hands.
Camera
The biggest talking point of the leak is the camera. The Realme GT 8 Pro might come with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor on the rear. This would be a major jump from the GT 7 Pro, which features a triple rear camera setup with two 50-megapixel Sony sensors and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
If true, the 200MP sensor would likely offer better zoom performance and detail capture, especially for long-distance shots. It also shows Realme’s intent to compete directly with flagship camera phones from Samsung, Xiaomi, and Vivo.
Battery
Battery life is getting a boost too. The Realme GT 8 Pro is rumoured to pack a battery of at least 7,000mAh — a massive capacity for any flagship phone. To keep charging times quick, the phone will reportedly support 100W fast charging.
Here’s a quick battery comparison:
| Model | Battery Capacity | Fast Charging |
|---|---|---|
| Realme GT 7 Pro (India) | 5,800mAh | 120W |
| Realme GT 7 Pro (China) | 6,500mAh | 120W |
| Realme GT 8 Pro (Rumoured) | 7,000mAh+ | 100W |

What to Expect
With the GT 8 Pro, Realme seems to be doubling down on high-end specs, particularly focusing on display, camera, and battery life. While the company hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, if these leaks are accurate, the GT 8 Pro could be one of the most feature-rich flagship killers of the year.
A 200MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, and a massive battery are not just upgrades — they’re statements. Now we just wait to see when Realme plans to drop the curtain.
