We’ve reached the point where the tech in our phones have kind of plateaued. Sure, we’re still seeing advancements in performance and efficiency. However, it’s definitely not leaps and bounds compared to a decade ago. This is why phone makers need to resort to other ways to make their phones stand out. Now, Realme might have an idea on how to do that for the GT 8 Pro by introducing interchangeable camera layouts.
Realme GT 8 Pro could feature interchangeable camera layouts
This is according to a video shared on the official Realme Weibo account . It shows interchangeable camera modules that you can use on the upcoming Realme GT 8 Pro. But before you get too excited, this isn’t Realme trying to bring back modular phones like Google’s Project Ara from back in the day.
Instead, these appear to be layout attachments that you can use to simply change the shape of the camera module. As you can see in the photo below, the camera positions remain the same. However, the surrounding “island”, or whatever you want to call it, are different. Users can choose between a square, a circle, and one that looks like the face of a robot.
We actually saw a sneak peek of this design last week . However, this new image revealed that it is one of several designs Realme could release. Honestly, we’re not sure what the point is, but like we said, it’s one way for Realme to stand out. Xiaomi also attempted to break the mold with its new Xiaomi 17 series which features a small secondary display on the back.
Specs of the phone
In addition to revealing these camera modules, Ambhore also shared the specs of the phone. The Realme GT 8 Pro will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 5 chipset. It will sport a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 2K resolution. It also boasts a triple camera setup. This consists of a 50MP main, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 200MP telephoto.
It is also rumored to pack a pretty sizable 7,500mAh battery with 120W charging speeds, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and it will also be IP69 rated. The company is also expected to launch a non-Pro version of the GT 8. Based on benchmarks posted on X by Abhishek Yadav , it will use last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, come with 16GB of RAM, and support 100W charging.
