If you have read the realme GT 8 Pro series launch news, you would know that realme has announced a major strategic collaboration with the Sabah Tourism Board (STB) under the newly launched “realme Explore the Beauty of Sabah” campaign. Through this partnership, realme has been appointed as the Official Imaging Partner, with the flagship realme GT 8 Pro designated as the exclusive device to visually capture Sabah’s diverse and breathtaking attractions.

 

Showcasing Sabah Through the Lens of the realme GT 8 Pro

The campaign spotlights realme’s newest flagship, the GT 8 Pro, launched on 24 November 2025. The device features the world’s first complete RICOH GR photography system, developed through an exclusive four-year collaboration with the iconic Japanese camera brand.

Using the GT 8 Pro, the campaign will highlight Sabah’s natural wonders — including lush rainforests, pristine coastlines, and rich indigenous culture — in vivid, professional-grade detail. The device’s RICOH GR film simulations, Snap Focus mode, GR-grade anti-glare optics and 200MP Sony IMX sensor equip creators with an advanced toolkit to tell authentic visual stories.

A curated team of prominent Key Opinion Leaders will embark on a 3-day, 2-night familiarisation trip across Sabah. The group will document the entire journey exclusively with the realme GT 8 Pro, producing high-resolution photos and cinematic footage that reveal the state’s raw beauty.

Their visuals will emphasise real, unfiltered moments — from sunrise landscapes and turquoise waters to cultural traditions and hidden gems — showcasing how modern mobile imaging can elevate travel storytelling.

 

Highlighting Sabah as Malaysia’s Ultimate Photography Playground

Sabah is celebrated as one of Malaysia’s most visually captivating destinations, offering endless inspiration for photographers. From the dramatic peak of Mount Kinabalu and golden sunsets in Kota Belud to vibrant underwater worlds off the East Coast, the state provides an extraordinary backdrop for creators.

The collaboration aims to encourage Malaysians to explore Sabah with fresh eyes and capture its beauty using the advanced imaging capabilities of the realme GT 8 Pro. The campaign positions Sabah as a dream destination for both travel enthusiasts and mobile photographers.
