* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Screen* TOP Software* TOP Camera
EDITORIAL: Less then a year after GT 7 here comes a proper upgrade that may signal a shift in Realme's (and it's parent Oppo's) expectations. This is a true flagship phone with a slow USB-C 2.0 port as it's only real weakness. GT 8 Pro is shorter and thinner then it's precessor while bringing a bigger 144Hz hi-res Dolby Vision screen, top performance chip and memory, very long battery endurance and a strong Ricoh tech imaging package that includes a 200MP periscope telephoto. To razzle dazzle, Realme created a removable camera module cover that can be replaced with custom covers of different materials, shapes and colors making this a truly unique offering for a fraction of the price your will pay elsewhere. You should consider buying this big phone if you can find it in your market.
PROs
customizable camera cover system - a true first on the market, fast SD 8 Elite Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, 48hr endurance from a 7000mAh Si-C anode battery with sub-60min 120W (50W wireless) charging. >1900nits bright >500ppi 144Hz LTPO AMOLED with Dolby Vision, IP69 protection. excellent imaging from a 50MP 24mm main + 200MP 65mm 3x periscope telephoto (both with OIS PDAF) + 50MP 16mm fixed-focus ultrawide, up to 4 years of OS updates and very good stereo speaker setup
CONs
almost 79mm wide and hard to use one-hand, scratch and drop resistance may not be flagship-like, no AF on 24mm ultrawide, mediocre 32MP non-AF selfie, mediocre video recording, no expandable memory not video-out or desktop replacement functionality, can get very hot under prolonged heavy load

EDITORIAL: Despite minimal upgrades the S25+ looks great. It comes with the fastest 2024 processor, memory and USB hardware, top screen and a big push in AI and overall functionality. A very complete (if uninspired) package.
PROs
good build, great SnapDragon 8 Elite with UFS 4.0 performance, excellent >1400nits >500ppi LTPO AMOLED with HDR10+, reliable 50MP 24mm OIS PDAF main + 10MP 67mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, a great 12MP 26mm dual-pixel PDAF selfie, leading AI features, 7 years of OS updates, DeX software that can replace your computer for most work scenarios and a fast USB-C 3.2 with Display Port 1.2
CONs
24hr endurance from a large phone, small 4900mAh old-tech lithium battery with slow 45W (15W wireless) charging, no AF on ultrawide, 8k Video recording but no expandable storage, lack of real innovation that Samsung S series phones used to shine at
