- Realme has launched the GT8 Pro in China today.
- This might be the cheapest phone with a 200MP telephoto camera, starting at ~$560 in China.
- The device will likely see a huge price increase in Europe.
Vivo debuted a 200MP telephoto camera last year, and we’ve since seen a host of camera phones with this feature in 2025. Now, realme has announced the GT8 Pro, and it might be the cheapest phone with a 200MP tele camera.
The realme GT8 Pro indeed offers a 200MP 3x periscope camera (f/2.6, Isocell HP5, 1/1.56-inch) that supports 6x lossless resolution zoom and 25cm macro focusing. The rest of the camera system consists of a 50MP main camera (1/1.56-inch), a 50MP ultrawide shooter, and a 32MP selfie camera. In a neat touch, you can swap out the rear camera housings. So, if you fancy a circular housing, a square bump, or a robot-like housing, you can screw those on. Realme also said it will offer schematics so you can 3D-print your own housings.
