Realme has officially confirmed that its much-awaited Realme GT 8 Pro will launch in India soon, following its debut in China earlier this month. The company has listed the upcoming flagship on Flipkart, signaling an imminent release. With a powerhouse Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a massive 7,000mAh battery, and a cutting-edge 200MP camera system, the GT 8 Pro is set to go head-to-head with top players like the iQOO 15, OnePlus 15, and even the iPhone 17.
Realme GT 8 Pro India Launch Details
Realme confirmed the India launch through its official X (formerly Twitter) handle. A dedicated microsite for the device is now live on Flipkart, hinting at an early November release. However, the exact launch date is yet to be revealed.
While both the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro were launched in China, it remains uncertain whether the standard GT 8 will make its way to India. If reports are accurate, Realme could bring the Pro model first, given its premium specifications and strong market appeal.
Pricing and Availability
In China, the Realme GT 8 Pro starts at CNY 3,999 (around Rs 50,000) for the base model with 12GB RAM + 256GB storage. The phone is available in Blue, White, and Green color variants. Pricing and color options for the Indian market are yet to be confirmed, but the Indian price is expected to remain close to its Chinese counterpart.

The Realme GT 8 Pro houses a 7,000mAh battery — one of the largest in any flagship phone — complemented by 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging support. This means users can fully charge their device in just minutes and enjoy extended battery life throughout the day.

Camera System
The Realme GT 8 Pro takes mobile photography to the next level. It sports a triple rear camera setup, led by a 200MP main sensor, accompanied by two 50MP secondary lenses for ultra-wide and telephoto shots. This versatile setup supports 120x super zoom, making it ideal for capturing distant details with clarity. On the front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera, promising crisp, high-quality selfies and clear video calls.
What to Expect in India
If the Chinese variant is any indication, Indian users can expect a similar configuration with flagship-grade performance, industry-leading fast charging, and camera capabilities that rival top competitors. Realme is clearly aiming to challenge premium offerings from Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus — but at a more aggressive price point.
The Realme GT 8 Pro’s combination of power, battery efficiency, and imaging innovation positions it as one of the most anticipated launches of the year. With its India debut just weeks away, Realme is set to shake up the flagship smartphone market once again.
