Credit: RealmeTL;DRRealme just teased a key design element for the upcoming GT 8 Pro flagship.Its camera island can be swapped out for a different shape or color.The phone also features special color tuning by camera brand Ricoh and is realme’s first phone with a special partnership.Innovation is dead, one could easily argue in the context of phone designs. In addition to the glass slab becoming widely accepted as the standard design for a big chunk of smartphones made and sold today, the fast lane launches and the constant battle to uproot competition have led manufacturers to focus on other areas than design. At the same time, certain outliers, like Nothing, challenge that notion by experimenting with unusual camera designs, secondary displays, and unusually tiny screens. Now, another leading Android manufacturer is experimenting with a subtle change that can radically alter the phone’s look by altering how the camera appears.OnePlus’ sister brand, realme, has just begun teasing its upcoming flagship with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. In addition to the new chipset, the realme GT 8 Pro is also the brand’s first phone to feature a camera developed in partnership with a camera brand. And while its design looks typical from a distance, realme is showing off an element that makes it rather peculiar.
