The Realme GT 7 Pro has been around for only a few months, and we are already hearing rumors about its replacement. The Realme GT 8 Pro has appeared in a new leak with details about its chipset, display, and camera specs, all culminating into a top-of-the-line flagship device.
Digital Chat Station took it to Weibo once again revealing that Realme’s GT 8 Pro has a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip that’s supposed to be released by the end of this year. It seems the leaker came by an engineering sample of this device, which confirmed some of the suspicions we already had about the GT 8 Pro.
The GT 8 Pro will be a flat model with an OLED screen on the front and up to 2K resolution for high visual fidelity. This screen has another important feature called the Ultra sonic fingerprint reader. It uses sound waves to read thumb or finger impressions, and it’s considered far more reliable and quicker than the ordinal optical fingerprint ID.
The leaker also talks about the camera on Weibo. DCS reports that this will be the first Realme phone with a huge 200 MP telephoto periscope shooter. There were no details about the sensor specs, but the resolution is promising. What powers this Realme GT new model is even more interesting.
The old Realme GT 7 Pro was built around a 6500mAh battery, and the capacity was slightly worse on the international variant at 5800mAh. If the new reports prove legit, there’s a chance that GT 8 Pro will support a mammoth 7000mAh battery that could be wired to a 100W fast charge input.
GT 7 Pro has 120W wired support, which fills the battery from zero to full in 37 minutes. GT 8 Pro’s charging is rated at 100W, and with a bigger battery, it will recharge even slower. DCS also believes that the new handset will have all its components wired to a metal middle frame, so the phone might need a strong cooling solution as well.
It’s safe to say the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be the biggest upgrade for the Realme GT 8 Pro. From what we’ve gathered, this chip might use second-gen Oryon CPU cores to gain up to 25% more processing speed and a bigger independent cache for improved GPU performance by around 30%. As always, we recommend taking these leaks with a pinch of salt and await official sources to confirm the details. Stay tuned for future updates.
