Realme GT 8 Pro (China)

The Realme GT 8 Pro (China) has a conventional, non-folding form factor measuring 166 mm tall, 79 mm wide, and 7.7 mm thin, with a total volume of approximately 100.98 cm³ and a weight of 195 g. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers meaningful resistance to dust and water splashes, though it does not feature a fully rugged build.

The device features a 6.75″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 900 x 1940 px and a pixel density of 317 ppi, delivering reasonably sharp visuals across its large panel. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion, though it lacks HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and an Always-On Display mode. There is no secondary screen on this device.

The device is powered by the Unisoc T7280 chipset, built on a 12 nm process with an octa-core CPU running at 8 x 1.9 GHz across 8 threads using big.LITTLE technology, and a thermal design power of 10W. It comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 1866 MHz — expandable up to 12 GB maximum — alongside 256 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Graphics are handled by the integrated Mali-G57MC GPU clocked at 850 MHz with 32 shading units, and the SoC also includes integrated LTE. The chipset supports 64-bit processing, and Geekbench 6 scores sit at 497 single-core and 1541 multi-core.

The main camera uses a single-lens CMOS sensor at 108 MP with an f/1.8 aperture, supporting phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video, though laser autofocus and optical image stabilization are absent. Manual controls include exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while shutter speed cannot be adjusted manually. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with slow-motion recording also supported but no HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording. Additional shooting modes include HDR, burst, panorama, and timelapse, though raw capture and 360-degree panorama are not available. A single LED flash is present at the rear, while the front carries no flash. The 30 MP front camera is a single-lens unit positioned conventionally — not under the display — and the device has no 3D photo or video capabilities.

The device runs Android 16, an open-source platform that supports multi-user operation, on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and phone tracking. On the privacy side, it offers clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not included. Customization is well-covered with dynamic theming, theme customization, dark mode, extra dim mode, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Wi-Fi password sharing are absent. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, full-page screenshots, Live Text, a media picker, sharing intents, app offloading, and the ability to play games while they download. A child lock and battery health check are also present, but Quick Start and the ability to use the device as a PC are not supported, and OS updates are not delivered directly from the vendor.

The device is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 22.5W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for convenient monitoring. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not supported.

The device includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired audio, but lacks stereo speakers, outputting sound through a single speaker instead. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec options are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC. A built-in radio is also absent.

The device supports dual SIM cards and connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) as well as Bluetooth 5.2, though 5G is not available and cellular connectivity is limited to LTE and below. Wired connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, with download speeds reaching 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds up to 150 Mbit/s, while HDMI output is absent. An external memory slot is present for expandable storage, and a fingerprint scanner is included for biometric security, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not supported. Location is covered by GPS with Galileo support, and onboard sensors include an accelerometer and compass, while a gyroscope, barometer, heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. ANT+, DLNA, satellite SOS, crash detection, a stylus, and a built-in projector are likewise not featured.

The device includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while the display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
