Realme officially announced its partnership with the Japanese brand specialized in photography, Ricoh, to develop the camera for its new flagship phone, Realme GT 8 Pro. What is surprising is that this partnership has been in preparation for more than four years, which is how the company explains the slogan “four years in one shot” in the teaser image.

The new Realme phone will feature a custom camera interface that simulates the experience of using Ricoh GR cameras, with a special focus on street photography, a type of photography that has long been associated with Ricoh compact cameras.
