The schedule begins with three devices on October 29: the Realme GT 8 Pro (including its Dream Edition), the OnePlus 15, and the OnePlus Pad 4. The following day, October 30, expands to include OnePlus’s 2025 and 2024 premium lineup alongside Realme’s GT 7 Pro and the first two models of the Realme 16 series.
