Realme GT 2 Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset to launch in December

Realme's Madhav Sheth has confirmed that the GT 2 Pro flagship will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and is set for launch in December.

Realme GT 2 Pro will be among the first Android flagship phones coming later this year to sport the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. Right after Qualcomm’s big announcement, Realme joined Xiaomi and other smartphone brands to show off its partnership with the chipmaker on the all-new flagship chipset. Realme said the GT 2 Pro launch will happen in December.

Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor is important because it breaks away from the traditional three-digit numbering that the company has followed for years. Similarly, the upcoming Realme GT 2 Pro is important for Realme as it finally sets its foot in the ultra-premium smartphone market, which has so far been dominated by the likes of OnePlus phones, Samsung phones, and Apple iPhones.
