Realme GT 7 was launched in India in May, along with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset and a 7,000mAh battery. Now, the Chinese smartphone maker appears to be preparing for the launch of its successor, the purported Realme GT 8. Multiple posts about the upcoming GT series smartphone have recently appeared on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging website. A new leak gives us a closer look at the display and battery specifications of the Realme GT 8. The handset is expected to be announced alongside the Realme GT 8 Pro. These phones are likely to feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.

Realme GT 8 Expected to Debut With Significant Design Changes

Realme Vice President Chase Xu appeared to hint at the upcoming Realme GT 8 series in a recent Weibo post. While he didn't mention the device by name, he said that the date (August 8) made him feel "very happy" when he saw the number 8 (translated from Chinese). Weibo users have interepreted this as a subtle nod to the next additions to Realme's number series — the Realme GT 8 lineup.

Meanwhile, Gizmochina reports that Realme VP Wang Wei has revealed the upcoming Realme GT 8 launch timeline. It will reportedly be launched in October. While there's no word from the company on a concrete release date, the handset's anticipated launch timeline suggests that it will be one of the first phones to arrive with a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC, which is expected to be unveiled next month.
