Realme GT8 Overview

Design and display

The material used is also “paper-like recycled leather,” which is actually made of silicone leather. Other than that, it receives IP66/IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance but now is immersible up to 2 m for 30 mins.

Color options include white, navy, and green, as seen above.

The Realme GT8 also has an LTPO AMOLED while offering QHD+ resolution. It also receives a slight upgrade to a 144 Hz refresh rate. This device can also reach a maximum of 2000 nits in HBM and a massive 4000 nits of peak brightness.

Performance and battery

The Realme GT8 gets powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and although the Pro version gets the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, this is still an upgrade from the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+. The Snapdragon processor is paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

It also boots in Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16.

Interestingly, we see a downgrade in charging speed from a 120W to just 100W. Nevertheless, it is still has a battery capacity of 7,000 mAh. Realme also claims that the device is able to get to 100% in just 45 minutes.
