Realme GT 8 Pro to feature Ricoh imaging tuning

Realme will unveil its GT 8 series in China later this month, and the GT 8 Pro will be the first smartphone to carry camera tuning developed in partnership with Ricoh Imaging, the companies said. Realme has described the collaboration as a long-term strategic partnership that combines Ricoh’s optical engineering with Realme’s image processing and AI color tuning, and it plans a dedicated event ahead of the series launch to outline the effort in more detail.

Realme said the GT 8 Pro will incorporate Ricoh-derived imaging features intended to produce more natural-looking photos. The company highlighted an Intuitive Algorithm Engine designed to reduce oversharpening, oversaturation, and smear in images, along with RAW-level pixel processing, full 10-bit color depth, and an ultrasense HDR mode meant to balance highlights and shadows. The phone will support focal lengths equivalent to 28mm and 40mm, reflecting Ricoh GR series shooting perspectives, and will offer five Ricoh GR-inspired color tones labeled Standard, Positive Film, Negative Film, Monotone, and High-Contrast Black and White.
