In August, Realme unveiled the Realme GT 5 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset in China. There have been reports that the brand is working on a Pro version of the device, which will have the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip onboard. There has been uncertainty about whether the Realme GT 5 Pro will debut this year or in 2024. However, now that the brand has rolled out the first teaser of the Pro model today, it appears that it will break cover in November or December this year.
