Realme GT 8 Pro certified with 120W fast charging and flagship specs

The upcoming Realme GT 8 Pro has officially cleared its certification in China, and with it some key details about the device have surfaced. The most striking revelation is its support for 120W wired charging – the same blistering fast standard seen in its predecessor. Some earlier speculation suggested that Realme might tone it down to 100W this year, but the certification confirms otherwise. Wireless charging support is also rumored, and paired with a battery starting above 7,000mAh, the GT 8 Pro is clearly targeting users who demand both speed and endurance. While it won’t reach the wild 8,000mAh once rumored, 7,000mAh is still significantly above what most mainstream flagships deliver.

Under the hood, the Realme GT 8 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, setting the stage for flagship-level performance.

The phone features a 6.78-inch QHD display with a buttery smooth 144Hz refresh rate and is expected to ship with up to 16GB of RAM. Realme is also equipping it with a headline-grabbing 200MP periscope telephoto camera, a serious addition that could redefine expectations for mobile zoom photography at this price point. Android 16 with Realme UI 7 will be running out of the box, giving users the latest software experience.

What makes the GT 8 Pro especially compelling is the balance between practical innovation and competitive pricing. Many consumers point out that Realme’s focus on ultra-fast charging and massive batteries actually delivers daily benefits, cutting charging time to minutes rather than hours. While some might argue that the device doesn’t bring radical new design changes, the combination of powerful hardware, an enormous battery, and advanced imaging features is rare in this segment. Compared to rivals like the OnePlus 15 or Iqoo 15, Realme seems intent on competing head-to-head – with several leaks hinting at pricing that could significantly undercut premium flagships while offering comparable, if not superior, hardware.

Enthusiasts are also speculating about camera performance, with hopes that Realme has improved image processing to rival high-end competitors like Oppo’s Find X8 Ultra. If the brand succeeds in delivering balanced color science, HDR handling, and detail in line with its hardware promise, the GT 8 Pro could stand out as not just a performance beast but also a photography powerhouse. In essence, Realme appears to be delivering a phone that blends everyday practicality with show-stopping specs, positioning the GT 8 Pro as a serious contender in the late 2025 flagship race.
