Design Innovations on the Horizon
Realme’s Vice President, Chase Xu, hinted at the excitement surrounding the upcoming GT 8 series in a recent post on Weibo.

In a previous statement, Realme product manager Wei emphasized the importance of design in the success of their products. He promised that the GT 8 series would bring significant design changes, stating, “I always believe that the first selling point of any product is its design. That’s why you can eagerly look forward to the upcoming GT 8 series.
