Realme officially started teasing the Realme 8 series with the teaser released yesterday confirming that the realme 8 Pro will pack a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor. A new leak has now emerged suggesting that the model will be powered by Qualcomm processors. 
The realme 8 series will be made up of the realme 8 and realme 8 Pro. According to the leak, the series will also have 4G and 5G versions. The leak also shows that the realme 8 4G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset. On the other hand, the 8 Pro will pack a Snapdragon 730G processor.

if this turns out to be true, then the realme 8 will feature a significant change in the chipset from its predecessor. To recall, the Realme 7 came with a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset while the 7 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 720G. The realme 7 5G utilizes a Dimensity 800U processor. There is no word yet on the chipset onboard the 5G version. However, Realme recently launched the V15 5G in China with a Dimensity 800U chipset. The Realme 8 5G may therefore use the same processor. The decision to use older processors on the models may not be unconnected to the chip shortage that is bedeviling the industry presently.
We are yet to get any information about the launch date for the realme 8 series but we expect the company to reveal a date soon.
