realme today unveiled its rear design for its upcoming flagship device, the GT 8 Pro. This phone will come with the industry’s first switchable camera bump. This design will enable users to personalize their devices in ways that were previously unimaginable. The GT 8 Pro’s Switchable Smartphone Camera Bump design will break free from the rigid fixed lens island design that has long held back smartphone aesthetics.
This hardware innovation turns the lens cover into a freely interchangeable component, letting users switch their device’s look through a simple, tactile process: unscrew the original camera bump, pick their preferred one, and confirm the fit with a precise lock-in click.
The camera bump can be detached and replaced with different styles — round, square, robot-theme, transforming smartphones from generic gadgets into personal statements. The Color-Mix concept adds another layer of personalization for the GT 8 Pro. For each shade, the robot-themed style lens module features a subtly contrasting hue with the body, letting users further express their unique taste through hardware customization.
“Young users want devices that reflect their unique personalities, but the flagship market has forced them to choose between identical designs,” said Chase Xu, CMO and Vice President of realme. “The Switchable Camera Bump is a boldly different approach. It offers the joy of handicrafts and the freedom of combination, much like building blocks. This isn’t just a feature; it’s our blueprint for redefining flagship design: diverse, personalized, and true to the user.”
The exterior design of GT 8 Pro blends visual appeal with practical usability, which will be offered in two shades: Diary White and Urban Blue. Its streamlined curve transition, calibrated to the golden ratio, pairs with a dual 2.5D edge design for a secure, seamless grip. The matte metal frame and the round flat screen ensure comfort even during long use, balancing the sleekness with daily practicality.
Sustainability is a standout feature of the GT 8 Pro, showcased by its Paper-like Leather back panel (available in Urban Blue). Made from recycled plastics and textiles, this material offers a unique grain pattern and tactile 3D texture while excelling in slimness, lightness, and durability.
