for better or worse the realme gt8 pro is the oneplus 15 that never was ...

The realme GT8 Pro is a competitively priced flagship phone that stands out thanks to a 200MP telephoto camera, a gigantic battery, a great screen, and a few premium extras. However, downgraded biometrics, inconsistent photos, and poor sustained performance mean there's still some room for improvement.

Pros

  • Plenty of horsepower
  • Genuinely impressive battery life
  • Fast wired and wireless charging
  • Mostly great camera zoom
  • Sharp, bright screen

Cons

  • Downgraded fingerprint scanner
  • Buckles under heavy load
  • Main and ultrawide cameras could be better
  • Some AI features need work
  • Update policy lags behind rivals

realme gt8 pro review the street photography king ProsCons...

The Realme GT8 Pro is a sub-flagship phone that aims to please everyone. It's super powerful for high-end gaming, has a massive battery and speedy charging, and thanks to a new partnership with Ricoh, the cameras are mighty impressive, too. The problem is, we don't yet know what it'll cost outside of India, and whether it's worth buying or not, all depends on what it'll cost you.

Pros

  • +Lovely 200MP telephoto camera
  • +New Ricoh GR mode is excellent
  • +Fun design with interchangeable elements
  • +Great software
  • +Speedy performance

Cons

  • -No AF on ultrawide and selfie cameras
  • -Can't use the telephoto in GR mode
  • -Global availability is somewhat limited
