The Realme GT 8 series, slated for launch in China next week, marks a significant development for the brand, introducing custom Ricoh Imaging tuning for its camera system. Beyond enhanced image processing capabilities, the device will incorporate a modular design for the camera housing, offering users a degree of customization.
The modularity centers around interchangeable camera housing modules. These modules attach to the device via two Torx screws located on the side, securing the module after it is magnetically snapped into place. Realme has announced the availability of various styles, including square, round, and robot designs, with differing material finishes and color options.

The potential for third-party module development remains unconfirmed. Further investigation is needed to assess the impact of this modular design on device repairability and long-term hardware support.
