The world’s first flagship smartphone featuring a Ricoh GR camera system could soon reach more markets, as Realme has confirmed a global launch in November. Following its debut in China last week, a teaser site now officially lists the Realme GT 8 Pro for international release, starting with India. While Realme has not yet detailed additional regions, the rollout is expected to expand, similar to the GT 7 Pro launch strategy.
The Realme GT 8 Pro starts at around $560 in China, though prices will likely be higher in Europe and other regions. One standout feature is the customizable camera module cover, which can switch from a round to a square design in just a few steps. The phone’s camera setup includes a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor (1/1.56-inch), a 50MP f/2.0 ultrawide, and a 200MP f/2.6 periscope telephoto lens (1/1.56-inch) offering 3x optical zoom.
