Realme GT8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition roars in with a turquoise livery

Realme GT8 Pro gets the Aston Martin F1 treatment

Realme is revving up the GT8 Pro with a motorsport-flavored twist: an Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition that debuts in China on November 10. The standard GT8 Pro is already on sale domestically and is slated to go global later this month, but this special version is pitched squarely at fans of liveried machines and collectible phones. Expect a striking turquoise body, the iconic Aston Martin wings on the back, and an Aramco F1 team badge that seals the partnership visibly. Realme also adds an aramid-fiber pattern over the camera island and neon yellow accents that mirror pit-lane safety hues – loud, proud, and very track-side.

As with most brand collaborations, the limited edition is about design, finishing, and memorabilia rather than reworking the core spec sheet. That means prospective buyers should expect the same GT8 Pro performance envelope, wrapped in a body that feels more like a paddock pass. Realme hints at an exclusive box and F1-themed extras; think display-worthy packaging and small collectibles that make the unboxing feel like opening-day of a Grand Prix weekend.

This is the second Realme × Aston Martin tie-in after last year’s GT 7 Dream Edition, and it shows the company is learning how to make the livery feel coherent rather than slap-on. The turquoise coat contrasts sharply with the neon detailing, creating a look that’s unmistakable from across a room. Some early images do have that perfect, studio-lit “render” vibe – so it’s fair to wait for hands-on shots to confirm exact textures and color warmth – but the design direction is crystal clear: track pedigree, fashion attitude.

Commentary from enthusiasts already splits into two camps. One camp argues co-branded phones turn users into walking billboards; the other says that if you love racing, the badge is part of the magic. There was even confusion about a rumored “Game of Thrones Edition” – to be clear, that’s not this device. If the global GT8 Pro is the sensible choice, the Aston Martin F1 version is the statement piece. Availability of the limited edition has only been announced for China so far; we’ll see if Realme fields it internationally or keeps this one in the home paddock.
