Realme has introduced a premium collector-focused smartphone in collaboration with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. The new Realme GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Edition brings a motorsport-inspired look while retaining the performance and hardware of the standard GT 8 Pro. The handset comes finished in an Aston Martin racing green colour with a striking silver wing emblem and exclusive race-themed branding that sets it apart visually.
Inside the custom box, buyers will find limited-edition accessories including Aston Martin styled phone cases, a race car shaped SIM ejector pin, and a special assembly kit inspired by the F1 world. The interface also includes customised wallpapers and camera watermarks dedicated to Formula One fans. It runs on realme UI 7.0 powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship chipset paired with 16GB RAM and a massive 1TB internal storage option.
The stunning 6.79 inch QHD+ AMOLED screen supports up to a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming and multimedia. On the back, a triple camera setup features a 50 megapixel Ricoh GR anti glare main camera alongside a 50 megapixel ultrawide lens and a 200 megapixel telephoto shooter. A 32 megapixel selfie camera sits at the front for photos and video calling.
Security and durability are well covered with an ultrasonic in display fingerprint sensor and multiple water and dust protection ratings including IP69 IP68 and IP66. One of the biggest highlights is its huge 7000mAh battery supporting 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging making it ideal for heavy users. The model weighs 218g and measures 161.80×76.87×8.20mm.
The Realme GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Edition has launched in China at CNY 5499 for the single 16GB RAM and 1TB storage configuration. It is expected to reach India soon likely alongside the regular Realme GT 8 Pro which is scheduled to arrive on November 20. This follows last year’s GT 7 limited edition worldwide release suggesting Realme may continue the trend for the Indian market as well.
