Realme GT8 Pro: The Ultra Eye camera gets official at 200MP

Realme is moving fast toward its October launch, and the GT8 Pro is shaping up to be its boldest phone so far. The company has now confirmed that the device will carry a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, which it calls Ultra Eye. This is not just another marketing name; it shows where Realme wants to place the focus — literally and figuratively.

Earlier teasers already revealed a custom 2K flat display from BOE. That screen alone would have been enough to raise eyebrows, but adding a 200MP periscope lens makes the GT8 Pro sound far more ambitious. Realme is clearly trying to prove that it can stand toe-to-toe with brands that dominate the flagship segment.

Specs are easy to read, but the importance here is the periscope design. Instead of a bulky camera bump, the lens is folded inside the phone’s body, allowing longer zoom without extra thickness. In practice, this could mean sharper details at higher zoom levels, a feature normally kept for the most expensive models on the market.

Some industry leaks suggest that Realme’s partnership with BOE may go beyond the display. There are hints of an “imaging collaboration” — likely software algorithms tuned to make better use of the 200MP sensor. If that turns out to be true, the Ultra Eye may deliver more than just numbers on a spec sheet. It could give the phone real advantages in night shots and clarity at distance.

Realme’s marketing tagline for the GT8 Pro is “Play to make a name for yourself.” Leaving the slogans aside, the hardware being teased so far is the kind usually locked behind four-figure flagship prices. If the company stays true to its history of competitive pricing, the GT8 Pro may offer top-end performance at a level many users can actually afford.

The official reveal is set for October. More details about the processor, battery, and software are expected soon. With the Ultra Eye camera now confirmed, anticipation around this device feels justified. Whether Realme can truly deliver remains to be seen, but the GT8 Pro is already one of the most talked-about Android launches of the season.
