The GT 9 Pro would keep that, presumably, while also employing a 200MP main camera. Realme GT 8 Pro Two 200MP cameras on one phone will be a massive trend in China later this year, with the Oppo Find X9s, Oppo Find X9 Ultra, and vivo X300 Ultra all expected to...

YouTube relaunched the Premium Lite subscription almost one year ago, in March of 2025, and now it's announced some exciting new features for this plan. While so far YouTube Premium Lite gave you "most videos" ad-free and nothing more, starting now there's also support for background play and downloads for "most videos".
