OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus Ace 6T earlier this month in China. It debuted as the world’s first phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. The OnePlus 15R, which landed in India and the global market, is a tweaked version of the same phone. Rumors suggest that Realme is preparing a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phone for China, which may rival the OnePlus Ace 6T.
Realme Neo 8 specs tipped again
The above leak states that the upcoming Realme phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset will have a durable and premium build, featuring a fully water-resistant body with a metal frame and a glass back.
It is said to be equipped with an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor and a massive single-cell 8,000mAh battery. Unfortunately, the tipster has not specified the name of the device.
This could be the forthcoming Realme Neo 8, which is expected to feature a Samsung AMOLED flat screen with support for a 1.5K resolution. It is expected to ship with Android 16 and Realme UI 7, but the rest of its specifications are under wraps.
The Realme Neo 8 is one of the many Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phones expected to release in China in the coming days. Vivo has already launched the camera-focused Vivo S50 Pro Mini powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The Moto X70 Ultra and iQOO Z11 Turbo are also expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
Realme is currently silent on the arrival of the Realme Neo 8. In China, the Realme 16 Pro and 16 Pro+ have already received TENAA certification, indicating that these phones may debut in the coming weeks in the home market. The Neo 8 may launch after the Realme 16 Pro series, likely in January 2026.
