wang wei, vice president of realme, announced on social media that the upcoming realme gt8 pro will be equipped with a newly upgraded "sky communication system", supporting 21 global 5g frequency bands and achieving network compatibility in more than 150 countries and regions.
according to wang wei, the first sky signal chip s1 installed in the realme gt8 pro is specifically designed to improve the directional performance of the two core 5g frequency bands, n78 and n41. this chip intelligently identifies the network environment and proactively switches to the optimal frequency band when the network is weak, significantly reducing game latency. furthermore, by equipping the device with the industry's first sky e-sports antenna on its western side, it integrates high- and low-frequency communication ranges and eliminates signal interference when the device is held in landscape mode. wang wei emphasized that this design enables stable connections even in extremely weak network environments, such as parking lots and suburban areas.
the realme gt8 pro supports 21 5g frequency bands, covering network standards in major regions including china, europe, southeast asia, and north america. wang wei pointed out, "the breadth of a smartphone's frequency bands directly determines its global compatibility. many smartphones that only support limited frequency bands may not be able to connect to the internet when traveling abroad, but the gt8 pro can seamlessly switch to local networks."
according to public data, 5g frequency bands are currently dispersed worldwide. public bands such as n78 (3.5ghz) and n41 (2.6ghz) coexist with region-specific bands like n1 and n3. realme's strategy of supporting all frequency bands aligns with the global models of brands like huawei and samsung.
notably, the realme gt8 pro also supports the n79 band. this band is used by telecom operators such as china mobile and china broadcasting corporation to provide dedicated network coverage in high-traffic areas like stadiums and transportation hubs.
