Realme GT 8 Pro switches to LTPS display in new leak

Realme sought to turn heads with its ultra-high-brightness AMOLED displays throughout 2024 and 2025, culminating in the "custom Samsung" screen made for the high-end GT 7 Pro. The screens did not always hold up in our testing, yet also boasted LTPO technology for extra power-efficiency and responsiveness. They might be a thing of the past, though, should a new leak prove accurate.

The legendary tipster Digital Chat Station now asserts that Realme intends to enhance its eye-protection bragging rights in its 2025-26 product cycle by switching to LTPS technology instead - even in the supposedly impending GT 8 Pro.

The supposed Snapdragon 8 Elite 2-powered flagship might have the same generous ~6.8-inch dimensions as its forebear, and have a 2K resolution while the GT 8 makes do with 1.5K for its own LTPS panel.

By contrast, the sub-flagship Realme 16 series is now tipped to adopt the "mid-sized" form-factor instead, with new screens of 6.5 to 6.6 inches in diagonal length. 

Meanwhile, the mid- to low-tier Neo 8 series might see its first flat-screened variant of an even more novel 6.57-inch size in 2026.
