Back in May 2025, the Realme GT 7 Dream Edition launched as the world’s first Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team co-designed smartphone. Now, both brands are back again to continue the legacy with the Realme GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 edition.
It's lights out and away we go!
The Aston Martin Racing Saudi Aramco F1 team and Realme have joined hands to co-design the Realme GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 edition phone. The collaboration was announced via Weibo as the smartphone will first launch in China on November 10, 2025.
The phone maintains an almost identical look as that of the Realme GT 7 Dream Edition. However, the new interchangeable camera deco is what differentiates the two. The back features the iconic Aston Martin green with the gilded Aston Martin emblem etched in silver colour.
There is also the dual-wing aerodynamic texture on both ends of the smartphone, which symbolises the aerodynamic capabilities of the AMR25 F1 car. Additionally, there are subtle yellow accents around the camera deco and the edges, paying homage to the sharp look of the AMR25. Even the power button is yellow on the special edition phone.
Other than that, just like the GT 7, the limited edition GT 8 Pro will also arrive in a custom gift box featuring a matching phone case and racing-inspired SIM Ejector tool. There could be hints of the collaboration on the charging brick and the USB-C cable as well.
Also, just like the previous model, the Realme UI 7.0 will be heavily customised to match the looks of the Realme GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 Limited Edition. Expect to see F1 boot animations, wallpapers, charging effects, GT mode, and a dedicated camera watermark.
Aside from that, the core specifications of the smartphone will remain exactly the same. It will still sport the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a 7,000mAh big battery, a 200 MP periscope camera and more. Since the Realme GT 8 China launch happened a few weeks back, here is a quick rundown of the Realme GT 8 Pro key details:
- 6.79-inch 2K 144 Hz 10-bit AMOLED display with 7,000 nits peak brightness
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
- 7,000mAh battery with 100W fast USB-C and 50W wireless charging
- Android 16-based Realme UI 7.0
- Ricoh-branded triple cameras with a 50 MP Sony IMX890 main camera, 200 MP periscope and 50 MP ultra-wide lens
- 32 MP selfie camera
- IP66 + IP68 + IP69 rating
That said, the Realme GT 8 India launch has been teased for November. So, expect to see the GT 8 and the GT 8 Pro to launch in India first and then the GT 8 Pro Aston Martin F1 edition to launch in the country. Since the GT 7 Dream Edition was available in India, chances are the upcoming phone will also reach fans here.
