- The realme GT 8 Pro is tipped to launch in India on November 11, slightly earlier than planned to compete with the OnePlus 15, which may debut on November 13.
- realme reportedly moved up the launch window from November 18–20 to November 10–12 to gain a competitive edge in the flagship segment.
- realme India is expected to release teasers and advertisements in late October 2025, leading up to the official announcement.
After several rumors and speculations, a new leak has revealed the realme GT 8 Pro launch date for India. Yes, you heard that right, as we move toward the flagship era, realme’s most premium phone, powered by Qualcomm’s top-tier processor, is tipped to debut in India on November 11. This information comes from a reputable source. If true, consumers may witness the arrival of a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered phone earlier than expected.
realme GT 8 Pro launch date adjusted for market competition
A recent report from 91mobiles claims that realme originally planned to launch the GT 8 Pro in India between November 18 and 20, 2025. However, because the OnePlus 15 is rumored to launch on November 13, realme seems to have adjusted its launch date. The company now plans to launch the GT 8 Pro earlier, between November 10 and November 12, with November 11 being the most likely day.
If the rumors about the new launch date are correct, realme India should start putting out official advertisements and hints later in October. Meanwhile, the realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro are expected to be revealed in China later this month (October). This means the launch in India will happen soon after the China announcement.
India’s first smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
The realme GT 8 Pro will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, making it one of the first phones in the world, and first in India, with this new main chip. This processor exhibits much better performance, better power efficiency, and improved AI features. This puts the GT 8 Pro in direct competition with other new high-end phones, such as the OnePlus 15 and Xiaomi 15 Pro.
Camera collaboration with Ricoh
Another main highlight of the realme GT 8 Pro is its camera system, which is the brand’s first time working with Ricoh. According to rumors, the rear cameras are expected to be:
- A 50MP Sony LYT-700 primary sensor
- A 200MP Samsung HP5 periscope telephoto lens
- An ultra-wide camera
realme GT 8 Pro specifications (rumored)
According to a recent leak, the realme GT 8 Pro is likely to have a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution, a clear improvement over the previous GT 7 Pro’s 1.5K screen. The LTPO technology allows the screen’s refresh rate to change itself, which results in smoother visuals and saves battery during normal use.
When it comes to power, the device is likely to offer a massive 8,000 mAh battery, which is great for heavy users and gamers who need long battery life. The phone is expected to have fast charging support, with many leaks pointing to a 120W charging capability.
Furthermore, the GT 8 Pro is expected to run on Android 16 with realme UI 7 over it, giving it a new look and more options for personalization. Moreover, the most expensive model is rumored to have up to 16GB of RAM, which will allow for very smooth multitasking and high performance, even with heavy use.
With a possible launch date of November 11, the realme GT 8 Pro is anticipated to be a major new phone and a strong competitor in India’s high-end market. We should expect an official announcement and teaser later this month.
