Realme GT 8 Series Launch – Date, Time & Livestream

The wait is finally over! Realme is all set to unveil its next-generation flagship lineup — the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro — in China today at 3:00 PM local time (12:30 PM IST).
Fans around the world can tune in to the official Realme website to watch the livestream of this much-anticipated launch event.

Series Price Expectations

According to early reports, the Realme GT 8 PRO price in China is expected to start at under CNY 4,500 (around ₹55,550). The phone will make its India debut in November, marking the country’s first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

Meanwhile, the Realme GT 8 is expected to be more affordable, with prices starting between CNY 3,000–3,500 (approx. ₹37,000–₹43,000).
In India, the GT 8 Pro could launch for under ₹60,000, positioning it directly against the iQOO 15 as the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 device in the market.

Specifications – Flagship Power Redefined

The Realme GT 8 Pro is packed with top-tier hardware. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with up to 24GB RAM and a massive 1TB internal storage.
A dedicated R1 graphics chip enhances gaming visuals and overall performance.

To keep the device safe and durable, Realme has added IP68 + IP69 dust and water resistance — a feature rarely seen at this price point.

Powering everything is a 7,000mAh battery, a big step up from the previous 6,500mAh capacity. It supports 120W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging, alongside bypass charging technology to prevent overheating during gaming or heavy use.

On the display front, the phone features a 6.78-inch 2K flat OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
The Realme UI 7 based on Android 16 ensures smooth and efficient performance.

Specifications – Premium Performance in a Sleek Body

The standard Realme GT 8 is no slouch either. It comes powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset paired with an R1 gaming chip, delivering a seamless experience for gamers and multitaskers alike.

The camera system is equally impressive, featuring a 50MP Sony LYT700 main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera offering up to 3.5x optical zoom. For selfies, you’ll get a 16MP front shooter.

Just like the Pro model, the GT 8 houses a massive 7,000mAh battery with 120W ultra-fast charging, ensuring minimal downtime. Additional highlights include NFC support, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and an IP68/69 rating for superior durability.

Final Thoughts – Realme’s Big Leap in Flagship Innovation

With the Realme GT 8 series, the brand is making a bold statement in the flagship smartphone segment. Both models combine cutting-edge design, elite performance, and massive battery capacity, setting new standards for their price range.

If Realme manages to keep pricing competitive in India, the GT 8 Pro could easily become one of the most value-packed flagship phones of 2025, offering top-tier specs without the premium price tag.
