Realme GT 2 Pro will be among the first smartphones to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

Now that Qualcomm has finally made its next-generation flagship chipset official at its event in Hawaii, Realme has something to say too - and that is that the GT 2 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

It's hard to imagine a less surprising announcement, but there you have it - it's official now. Don't forget, the upcoming GT 2 Pro is going to be Realme's "first-ever ultra-premium flagship", rising above the likes of the X50 Pro and previous members in the GT family.

Realme proudly boasts that it will be among the first manufacturers to launch a smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, an that phone will be the GT 2 Pro. Development of the device has started a few months ago, and this will end up being a "truly high-end flagship product that will exceed the expectations of young users around the world", according to Realme VP Chase Xu.

The Realme GT 2 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 at the helm was in fact already spotted at AnTuTu scoring over a million points a few days ago. The phone is expected to have 125W wired charging support, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, a 6.51" 120 Hz AMOLED screen, a 32 MP selfie camera, and a 50 MP main rear sensor with OIS.

Realme hasn't revealed the exact date of the GT 2 Pro's launch, but Realme VP Mr. Madhav Sheth has announced the smartphone will arrive this month.
