Realme has confirmed the India launch of the GT 8 Pro for 20 November 2025 at 12:00 PM IST, positioning the phone as a November flagship with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a Ricoh‑co‑branded camera system.
Realme GT 8 Pro India launch
Realme will unveil the GT 8 Pro in India on 20 November at 12:00 PM IST, with a dedicated microsite already live that teases the device’s key features ahead of the event. The company’s timing places the GT 8 Pro among a wave of high‑end launches in India this month, following its initial debut in China in October.
Design and display
The GT 8 Pro is expected to ship with a 6.79‑inch QHD LTPO AMOLED display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and claims an industry‑leading 7,000‑nit peak brightness, delivering a premium viewing experience for HDR content and outdoor visibility. The handset will be offered in multiple finishes and is reported to include Realme’s latest display tuning and a large vapor‑chamber cooling solution for sustained performance.
Performance and memory
Under the hood, the Indian variant will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the same flagship silicon used in the Chinese model and other November flagships in India, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage options up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage in higher trims. Realme has also highlighted a dedicated Hyper Vision+ AI chip for enhanced imaging and display processing on the GT 8 Pro.
Camera system
A major selling point for the GT 8 Pro is its Ricoh GR co‑branded imaging system, which combines a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 200MP periscope telephoto offering 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50MP ultrawide module, alongside a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Realme’s partnership with Ricoh aims to emphasise still‑photography credentials and advanced image processing for the flagship lineup.
Software, battery and pricing
The GT 8 Pro will ship with Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16 and is built around a 7000 mAh battery that supports 120W wired fast charging, promising multi‑day endurance and rapid top‑ups. Based on the feature set and positioning, industry estimates peg the expected India price at around Rs. 60,000, making the GT 8 Pro a premium contender in the market.
Availability
Realme’s microsite indicates the phone will go on sale in India shortly after the launch event through Realme’s online store and major retail partners, with exact sale dates and pricing to be confirmed at the 20 November announcement. The GT 8 Pro’s combination of flagship silicon, a Ricoh‑tuned camera array, and a very large battery positions it as one of the marquee launches in India’s busy November calendar.
