Realme GT8 Pro Review: A Flagship You Choose With Your Heart - Yanko Design
"The announcement of Realme's partnership with Ricoh was a surprise, and now the highly anticipated Realme GT8 Pro is here with another twist in the form of an interchangeable camera plate on its back. This is not a subtle move, and it signals that Realme GT8 Pro is not trying to be just another sensible flagship. Instead, it arrives as a phone that wants to make a statement the moment you turn it over in your hand."
"Realme is clearly aiming to step out of its value-focused comfort zone and into the premium flagship ring, where expectations are much higher, and mistakes are more visible. The real question is whether this bold, personality-heavy approach makes the GT8 Pro a genuinely great all-around phone, or a beautiful experiment that only a certain kind of user will truly appreciate."
"Pick up the realme GT8 Pro, and the first thing your eyes lock onto is the camera island. Realme has turned the rear camera housing into a modular design object that you can swap and restyle. Different camera decoration plates change the shape and graphic language of that camera bump, which means the back of the phone becomes a kind of customizable badge."
Realme’s GT8 Pro introduces a swappable, decorative camera plate that transforms the rear camera housing into a customizable design element. The phone combines this personality-driven aesthetic with flagship internals: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 7000 mAh battery, and a vibrant 6.79-inch display. Realme released a 3D design file so users and designers can create their own plates; the plate is non-functional and secures with two small screws. The GT8 Pro represents Realme’s push from value models into the premium flagship segment, prioritizing bold visual identity alongside serious hardware, but its appeal may be niche.
