One of the pre-eminent smartphone companies “Realme” has recently released its “8 series,” comprising two iterations: Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. Both the released phones are upgrades to the previous version Realme 7 and Realme 7 Pro, respectively, and entails some good features alongside attractive AMOLED displays. Let us closely have a look on all of the facets of the new phone and know whether a user should purchase this phone or not.
Pricings
The Realme 8 Pro phone comes in two variations, which are 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of memory, and 8GB RAM and 128 GB of storage space. The 6 GB version of Realme 8 Pro obviously comes at a lower price and can be bought at a standard cost of $242 (approximately), and the enhanced version, which is 8 GB RAM, comes at a high price of around $285. Both the versions can come in three different hue options, which are namely: Infinite Black, Infinite Blue, and Illuminating Yellow. The Illuminating Yellow will make the phone glisten in the dark and can help you find it should you lose it when the lights go off. The Illuminating Yellow is also one of the latest and rare color options.
Design
Realme has adopted a new method in the creation of Realme 8 Pro, and the bold style can be clearly observed if you hold the phone in your hand. The tech giant has also advertised its tagline at the backside exterior-“Dare to Leap.” The glistening finish makes the text in contrast with the rest of the smooth textured backside. As the phone has been released closer to the summertime, Realme has decided to include bright colors as the options. You can opt to buy the phone in Infinite Black, Illuminating Yellow, and Infinite Blue options. If you like something different and want your phone to stand out in the bunch, then you can proceed with the Infinite Black color alternative, which is subtle and attractive.
The appearance of the phone looks simple rather than extravagant. However, some subtle nuances such as camera setup, coloring, slimness, and curves at the backside make the phone an attractive-looking device. The phone is very slim and lightweight, which makes it extremely easy to hold and carry.
Specifications and Software
If you have used Realme 7 Pro, you would know that the company hasn’t toyed with the specifications a lot, and this is not to say that they needed to. Nevertheless, several reviewers have also corroborated that the specification of the Realme 8 Pro remains unaltered from the preceding version. The phone has everything that Realme 7 Pro had, including an on-screen fingerprint scanner, a complete HD+ resolution, and a Super AMOLED display. The system’s internal components include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720G processor, and RAM and memory components also remain untouched at 6 GB or 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.
Realme 8 Pro provides good battery backup at 4,500 mAh; the charging speed has been cut short at 50 W while the Realme 7 Pro has been given a charging rate of 65 W. All in all, the battery can run for a day and a half without any red flags.
The Bluetooth version has also been degraded from 5.1 to 5.0. The scintillating display has been attributed to an alteration in the screen glass, which has been changed from “Asahi Dragontrail” instead of “Corning Gorilla Glass.” However, the phone uses the Android 11 operating system instead of Android 10. Android 10 was there in Realme 7 Pro.
Performance
The general performance of the phone has been optimal, if not excellent. Several gadget reviewers have also corroborated that they haven’t faced any problems while using all the essential apps. The display is seamless, and even if you are doing your job outdoors, you are unlikely to face any brightness issues. The stereo speakers are absent, but that doesn’t take away the fact that the phone can give staggering performance even if you play high-graphics games such as “Call of Duty Mobile” preset at high clarity graphics and frame rate. The gamers who have used the phone are also glad that they did not experience any hanging or lag during the game. However, the phone does get warm after some minutes of play.
Cameras
The cameras embedded in the phone are one of the few talking points and immediately draw attention once you pick up the phone. On the rear side, there is a quad-camera setup that juts out in a two-step design. In the first step, you will see the flashlight, while in the second step, you will discover four individual camera lenses fitted attractively. The phone has been advertised for its 108-megapixel camera capable of delivering reality-like pictures. This feature isn’t ubiquitous and is a splendid addition to a phone that comes at an average price.
The other three camera lenses at the back include an ultra-wide-angle lens capable of capturing 8-megapixel shots, a macro camera capable of taking a 2-megapixel picture, and a B&W camera capable of giving a 1-megapixel image. The camera app, along with its User-interface is exceptionally user-friendly, and you will not face any trouble navigating through “Settings” and customizing it according to your preference. The app also has an AI-scene enhancement, which works fine if you turn it on. The daylight shots are available on the internet, and you can have a look if you want to see the actual quality of the camera. The selfie lens does not stand out against its competitors but is effective in taking standard shots nonetheless.
Conclusion
Realme has unveiled its “8 series,” and both of the versions, which are “Realme 8” and “Realme 8 Pro,” have been released with two different specifications and three standard color options. The camera quality stands out with a 108-megapixel front camera, and the appearance looks attractive. However, most of the features remain the same from the preceding Realme 7 series.
