Realme has taken a giant leap forward in camera technology with its highly anticipated flagship, the Realme GT8 Pro. The company announced an official partnership with legendary camera manufacturer Ricoh Imaging. This strategic partnership will bring Ricoh’s distinctive and acclaimed photography style to the smartphone world. Here are the details.
Five Special Color Modes Inspired by the Ricoh GR
The Realme GT8 Pro will feature five distinct color tone profiles inspired by the GR series cameras, specially designed in collaboration with Ricoh engineers. Fine-tuned through extensive testing, these tones promise a unique experience for mobile photography enthusiasts:

- Positive Film: Delivers vibrant, high-impact colors, adding an energetic atmosphere to photos.
- Negative Film: Creates a softer, nostalgic look and a vintage film-like warmth.
- High Contrast Black & White: A signature feature of Ricoh GR cameras, this mode enhances visual depth and emotion with strong contrasts.
- Standard: Offers balanced colors and natural textures, making it an ideal profile for everyday shots.
- Black & White: Offers the classic black and white photography experience with refined tonal gradations and elegant shadow details.
Realme emphasizes that Ricoh’s “authentic GR flavor” will underpin the GT8 Pro’s camera capabilities. The Realme x Ricoh Imaging Strategic Partnership Launch Event, where the brand will reveal more details about this collaboration and the phone’s overall feature set, will take place on October 14th. While the China launch date has not yet been officially confirmed, this event is expected to be the platform where the release date will also be announced.
