Realme GT 8 Pro to feature advanced Ricoh GR camera features

Last week, Realme released an official confirmation that it will partner with Japanese camera brand Ricoh Imaging to offer an enhanced photography experience on its upcoming flagship, the Realme GT 8 Pro. Today, the brand held an event in Beijing to reveal the GT 8 Pro advanced camera features powered by Ricoh GR technology, marking a major step forward for mobile photography enthusiasts.

Realme GT 8 Pro’s Ricoh GR camera features confirmed

At the event, Chase Xu, Vice President and CMO of Realme, and Kazunobu Saiki, General Manager of Ricoh Imaging’s Camera Business Division, highlighted how the Realme-Ricoh collaboration aims to deliver a creative and authentic street photography experience.

The Realme GT 8 Pro will feature a newly co-developed ultra-high transparency lens group that meets Ricoh GR’s optical standards. This ensures superior anti-glare performance, high resolving power, and minimal distortion for sharper, more natural photos.

The smartphone will also introduce a dedicated Ricoh GR Mode, which can be accessed by a simple swipe on the camera interface. When accessed, it will make a tactile shutter sound inspired by the Ricoh GR IV. It will also feature a Snap Mode preset that will assist in focusing distance precisely. The GT 8 Pro’s camera app will also offer two classic GR focal length, such as 28mm and 40mm.
