Super bright display, massive battery, high-end chipset - that was the Realme GT 7 Pro. Well, the GT 8 Pro has those things too, but builds on those...

Pros

  • Interchangeable camera bump caps can be cool; the IP68/IP69-rated body is premium and nice to the touch.
  • Super-bright high-res OLED display, Dolby Vision capable too.
  • All-round excellent battery life, speedy charging.
  • Loud and great-sounding speakers.
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is fast.
  • Thoroughly capable camera system; excellent stills, day and night; great for portraiture, nice closeups.

Cons

  • Heavy GPU throttling under continued load.
  • Ultrawide camera lacks autofocus, so does the front-facing one.
  • The Ricoh GR photo mode has limited appeal to us.
  • Video stabilization is suboptimal.
