Realme isn't the most well-known smartphone brand out there, especially in the West, but the Chinese company is certainly looking to change that with the release of the GT 8 Pro. The long-awaited announcement reveals a laundry list of top features for the new flagship, including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a 7000 nit HyperGlow display, a 7000mAh battery, the world’s first switchable camera bump – and a brand new Ricoh GR powered camera system.
Let's dive into the cameras. Thanks to a partnership with Ricoh GR, the GT 8 Pro features the Ricoh compact's classic 28mm and 40mm focal lengths that make it, according to Realme, the "best street snap shooter". For this, the camera uses Realme's new Super QPD Snap algorithm, which it claims enables a new level of instant shooting.
