Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 24 November 2025 – realme just dropped what might be their most impressive flagship yet, and it's already making waves in Malaysia. The GT 8 Pro and its premium Dream Edition sibling officially hit local stores today, bringing some serious firepower for anyone looking to upgrade their mobile game.
Power That Actually Lives Up to the Hype
Let's cut to the chase—the realme GT 8 Pro is packing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which basically means this thing is an absolute beast. We're talking about a 3nm chip that clocks over 4 million on AnTuTu benchmarks. Yeah, you read that right. Combined with the Hyper Vision+ AI chip, this phone can juggle multiple heavy games without breaking a sweat, and most mainstream titles will run smoothly at 120FPS.
But here's where things get interesting—realme isn't playing it safe with battery life either. The GT 8 Pro comes with a massive 7000mAh battery backed by a 7000mm² cooling system. Charge it up with 120W wired charging or go wireless with 50W speeds. That's flagship territory right there.
A Camera System That Breaks the Mold (Literally)
Now, about that camera setup. realme teamed up with legendary Japanese camera brand RICOH for an exclusive four-year collaboration, and the result is the industry's first RICOH GR camera system on a smartphone. If you're into photography, you probably just perked up reading that.
The main shooter features a 7P High-Transmittance lens that delivers optical quality you'd expect from an actual camera, not just a phone. But the real magic is in the film modes—Positive, Negative, and Hi-Contrast B&W—that let you shoot with classic RICOH GR film tones. You can even toggle between 28mm and 40mm focal lengths depending on your style.

Oh, and there's a 200MP ultra-clear telephoto camera for when you need to zoom. We're talking 3x, 6x, and 12x zoom capability with seriously impressive detail retention.
The Sabah Tourism Board clearly thinks this camera setup is legit—they've made the GT 8 Pro the Official Imaging Partner for their 'Explore the Beauty of Sabah' campaign.
Design That Actually Turns Heads
Here's something you don't see every day: the GT 8 Pro features the industry's first switchable camera deco design. No more boring circular or square camera bumps—you can swap between Circle, Square, or Robot deco modules. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference in standing out from the crowd.

The Dream Edition: For F1 Fans and Design Nerds
If you want something extra special, the GT 8 Pro Dream Edition is where it's at. Co-created with the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Racing Team, this version comes wrapped in iconic Aston Martin Racing Green with vibrant Lime Essence accents. There's a silver Aston Martin emblem, Aerodynamic Flow Lines, and even racing-inspired switchable camera bumps.
The software experience matches the hardware too, with AMR25 dynamic wallpapers and track-sound GT Mode that'll make you feel like you're at the circuit. Even the packaging screams premium—it comes in a racing-style box that looks more like collectible merch than a phone box.
Don't Sleep on the Buds Clip
realme also launched the Buds Clip, their first open-ear earbuds designed specifically for active users. At just 5.3g per bud with a flexible C-shaped memory titanium alloy bridge, these are built for all-day comfort. The NextBass Algorithm promises enhanced sound quality, and at RM399 (or RM299 as a special bundle with the GT 8 Pro), they're worth checking out.
Pricing and Availability
The realme GT 8 Pro starts at RM4,299, while the Dream Edition will set you back RM4,699. Pre-orders run from November 11-28, with the first official sale kicking off on November 29 through January 1, 2026.
