Realme has just began rolling out the major Android 12 OS based Realme UI 3.0 update for two of its smartphones. This includes the new Realme 8 5G and the Narzo 30 5G. So here’s all the details.

The Chinese smartphone maker has just began rolling out the RMX3242_11.A.16 build version for both the Narzo and Realme 8 model. The brand is rolling out the update in a staggered manner. In other words, the update will first be received by a limited number of users right now, with a broader release beginning a few days later to make sure that there are no major issues or bugs in the major software update.

With the new upgrade, the two smartphones will receive the Android 12 OS version. Apart from this, there are also changes in new design and some visual overhauls to offer a better interactive experience. There have also been a couple of optimizations to some of its systems like the Quantum Animation Engine and even brings in the Smart Assistant widgets that displays key information of apps and provides instant access to certain functions as well.

So for the owners of the Realme 8 and Narzo 30, you can manually check if you’ve received the update within the settings. But if you’ve yet to receive the update, the complete roll out should follow soon after in a couple of days.

Update: A tipster has revealed that the device could be equipped with the Dimensity 810 chipset. To recollect, the Realme 8 5G featured the Dimensity 700 SoC.

Looks like RMX3388 which was recently spotted on FCC filings is realme 9 5G… and it's coming with Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset(as can be seen in last pic).

Other specs will be same as realme 8 5g. Also they might be giving dual speaker on 9 5g.#realme #realme95G #Mediatek pic.twitter.com/3eCIGx62Vg

Original story continues…

The Realme phone with RMX3388 model number that has been certified by BIS, EEC, and FCC certification sites is believed to debut as the Realme 9 5G in different markets.  The images of the phone that appeared through the FCC certification revealed it could be almost identical to the Realme 8 5G from last year. The user manual of the phone (via) had also appeared in the FCC documents. It appears that it went unnoticed by most publications that reported about its FCC certification.

Alleged Realme 9 5G specifications

The user manual of the Realme RMX3388 shows that the device has 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.5mm dimensions. It features a 6.5-inch punch-hole display and it is backed by a 5,000mAh battery.

The front side of the RMX3388 has a 16-megapixel camera. Its rear-facing camera unit has a 48-megapixel main camera and a pair of 2-megapixel lenses. The RMX3388 supports n1, n3, n5, n7, n8, n20, n28, n38, n40, n41, n77, and n78 5G bands, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. The rest of the specs of the RMX3388 are under the wraps.

Shown above are some of the images of the Realme RMX3388 that were spotted in the FCC documents. The images have revealed that it is equipped with a side-facing fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB-C port. The FCC certification has also revealed that it may ship with an 18W charger.

The above-mentioned specs and design of the Realme RMX3388 resemble with last year’s Realme 8 5G which has an RMX3241 model number. Here’s what the FCC document say about the RMX3388, “Except the model name, and FCC ID number change, the EUT [equipment under testing] are electronically/ electrically identical to the original equipment (probably RMX3241) and that the original test results continue to be representative of and applicable to it.”

The Indian market recently welcomed a new 5G budget phone: the Motorola Moto G51 5G. It is the successor of the Moto G50 and it brings a wide display, a big battery, and a decent specs sheet to the market at a very affordable price. But are its specifications enough to win the award for the best 5G phone out there? Well, it is very hard to find it out because there are a lot of rivals out there. One of the best is definitely the Realme 8s 5G offering similar specifications at a competitive price. We think there is no better way to answer the above question than comparing the Moto G51 5G with one of the best other 5G budget phones of the moment: the Realme 8s 5G.

Motorola Moto G51 5G vs Realme 8 5G

Design

When it comes to the design, I actually prefer the Realme 8s 5G. First of all, it is more compact thanks to its smaller display. Further, its camera module is definitely more beautiful with its 2×2 matrix and the same color as the rest of the back cover. Both these devices are made of polycarbonate, so do not expect a premium touch & feel. But the Motorola Moto G51 5G has a water-repellent coating which makes it good to use in the rain or in similar situations. Both the phones feature a punch-hole display, but the punch hole is placed centrally on the Moto G51 5G and on the upper left corner of the Realme 8s 5G. Despite being more compact and having the same battery capacity, the Realme 8s 5G is a thinner (and lighter) phone.

Display

Motorola Moto G51 5G and Realme 8s 5G are equipped with the average displays you can usually find on lower-midrange phones. Two IPS panels with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. They are not bad panels, but if you spend just a bit more you can find way better displays even on affordable phones. The Motorola Moto G51 5G wins for two reasons: it has a wider 6.8-inch panel and a higher 120 Hz refresh rate. But there are no particular differences between these phones if we talk about the image quality. Besides their average displays, they are equipped with mono speakers and side-mounted fingerprint scanners. Nothing surprising, but at the same time, nothing you can complain about.

Hardware/Software

The Motorola Moto G51 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 480+ chipset, while the Realme 8s 5G is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 810. Despite it being a great Qualcomm chipset, according to the benchmarks, the Snapdragon 480+ is way inferior to the Dimensity 810. And you do not even need to have a look at the benchmarks to understand them. The Dimensity 810 has a higher clock frequency, better cores, and it is built with a better production process: 6 nm. It even features a great GPU. The phones run Android 11 out of the box but they will both get the update to Android 12. The highest-end memory configuration of these devices is the same: they offer up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of native storage.

Camera

The Motorola Moto G51 5G is a more versatile camera phone. Despite its 50 MP main camera is not as impressive as the 64 MP sensor found on the Realme 8s 5G, unlike its rival, it comes with an 8 MP ultrawide lens. With the Realme 8s 5G, you only get two useless 2 MP sensors for macros and depth. But the Realme 8s 5G features a better front camera with a 16 MP resolution.

Battery

These two phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. But the Realme 8s 5G offers a longer battery life thanks to a smaller display and a chipset built with a better production process, as well as faster charging thanks to a charging power of 33W.

Motorola Moto G51 5G vs Realme 8s 5G: Price

You need Rs. 17,999 / $242 in order to purchase the Realme 8s 5G in India, while the Motorola Moto G51 5G starts from Rs. 14,999 / $202. I personally prefer the Realme 8s 5G because of its better chipset, faster charging, and good main camera. But the Moto G51 5G has a wider display and an ultrawide camera which may turn useful.

The Redmi Note 11 series went official and it contains some of the most affordable 5G phones in the market. Even the Redmi Note 11 this year comes with 5G connectivity, as well as a new chipset, a new sensor for the camera setup, and other interesting specifications. But is it enough to beat the other budget 5G phones in the market or there is something better released this year? This is a comparison between the specifications of the Redmi Note 11, the Realme 8 5G, and the Samsung Galaxy M32 5G: three of the best and most affordable 5G phones released this year which might cannibalize the sales of the Redmi Note 11.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 vs Realme 8 5G vs Samsung Galaxy M32 5G

Design

My favorite design belongs to the Realme 8 5G: it looks cleaner and more minimal. But a lot of people may prefer the Redmi Note 11 due to its amazing gradient color options. Its big and bicolor camera module does not match my tastes, but I have to recognize that Redmi Note 11 is a very interesting device in terms of aesthetics. Further, it has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant. The Samsung Galaxy M32 5G has a very beautiful rear design with sensors placed directly in the cover and without a camera module, but its front panel is uglier because it comes with a waterdrop notch.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy M32 5G loses the display comparison because it has an inferior panel. It is a TFT display, while Redmi Note 11 and Realme 8 5G come with a better IPS panel. Further, the Samsung Galaxy M32 5G has a lower HD+ resolution and a lower refresh rate (standard with 60 Hz). With Redmi Note 11 and Realme 8 5G, you get a Full HD+ resolution and a higher 90 Hz refresh rate. The Redmi Note 11 has a slightly wider display with a diagonal of 6.6 inches, while Realme 8 5G stops at 6.5 inches.

Hardware/Software

Redmi Note 11 has the most advanced hardware department because it comes with a stronger processor: the new Mediatek Dimensity 810 5G built at 6 nm with a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. The chip is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Realme 8 5G takes the silver medal with a Mediatek Dimensity 700 SoC, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage, but Samsung Galaxy M32 5G is not so far: it actually comes with a better processor, but it has an inferior eMMC storage. All of these phones run Android 11.

Camera

The most versatile camera department belongs to the Samsung Galaxy M32 5G which sports a quad camera 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Redmi Note 11 has just two cameras on the rear, but the main camera is superior: a newer 50 MP sensor provides a better photo quality. Realme 8 5G loses because it lacks an ultrawide camera.

Battery

The battery capacity is the same on all of these devices: 5000 mAh. But the Samsung Galaxy M32 5G should offer a longer battery life because of its lower resolution and refresh rate. Redmi Note 11 has faster charging (33W).

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 vs Realme 8 5G vs Samsung Galaxy M32 5G: Price

Redmi Note 11 starts from €160/$185 in China and it is still not available globally. Realme 8 5G and Samsung Galaxy M32 5G cost less than €200/$232 globally. The Redmi Note 11 is a superior handset thanks to its better chipset, faster charging, and better main camera sensor.

Once in a while, we publish a comparison between the most affordable 5G phones released by mainstream smartphone manufacturers. We do it because they are among the hottest handsets in the market: a lot of people want to try 5G connectivity but, at the same time, they want to save money as 5G phones are generally more expensive than 4G ones. In this article, we compared the specifications of three of the main 5G budget phones from Chinese manufacturers sold in the global market: Redmi Note 10T 5G, Realme 8 5G, and OPPO A54 5G.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T 5G vs Realme 8 5G vs OPPO A54 5G

Design

OPPO always pays a lot of attention to the realization of the designs of its phones, including the affordable ones. The OPPO A54 5G is the device with the most interesting design not only for attention to the details but even for its sleek body. It is thin and lightweight despite its big battery, and it has a high screen-to-body ratio. The Redmi Note 10T 5G has bigger dimensions and a less impressive design, but it comes with the Gorilla Glass 3 protection which makes the display panel sturdier. All these phones are built with polycarbonate and they do not include premium materials.

Display

On the paper, the OPPO A54 5G has a superior display: unlike Redmi Note 10T 5G and Realme 8 5G, it has an LTPS panel which is a more advanced kind of LCD display. But the specifications are the same for each device: a diagonal of 6.5 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The phones are equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint reader for authentication and they have a single punch hole on the front.

Hardware/Software

The most advanced phone if we talk about the hardware department is the Realme 8 5G. It has the same processor as the Redmi Note 10T 5G: an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 700 built with a 7 nm production process and belonging to the mid-end segment (low-end if we only consider 5G phones). But the amount of RAM is higher: in the most expensive configuration, it comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage. The Redmi Note 10T 5G goes up to 6 GB of RAM, but it features UFS 2.2 storage. The three handsets run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

If you need the best camera phone, you should go for the OPPO A54 5G without thinking twice. It has a brighter focal aperture for the main 48 MP sensor and it adds an 8 MP ultrawide camera, unlike Redmi Note 10T 5G and Realme 8 5G. Further, it has the best front camera with a 16 MP resolution and an f/2.0 focal aperture.

Battery

These phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. And given that the components are similar, you should not expect important differences in terms of battery life. Note that OPPO A54 5G lacks fast charging, while Redmi Note 10T 5G and Realme 8 5G support it.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10T 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Price

You can actually find OPPO A54 5G and Realme 8 5G for less than €200/$240 in the global market, while in India they start from Rs. 13,990 and Rs. 15,499 online. Redmi Note 10T 5G is priced at Rs. 14,999 in India and it is still not available globally. Overall, the OPPO A54 5G is slightly more interesting (even though not for everyone): despite it lacks fast charging and it has an inferior chipset, it comes with better cameras.

Smartphone prices are going up in India for the past few months due to the shortage of components. The latest handsets to receive price hikes are four realme devices, namely realme C21, realme C25s, realme narzo 30, and realme 8 5G.

According to reports by 91Mobiles and MySmartPrice, realme has increased the price of the above-mentioned phones by ₹500. The price hike is applicable to all the available storage configurations and colors. Also, it is worth noting that this is not the first price increment for these models.

The realme C21 is the cheapest of the lot. It had been selling for ₹8,499 and ₹9,499 for the 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB variants respectively. With the latest price hike, the phone now costs ₹8,999 and ₹9,999 for the same storage configurations.

The realme C25s is the second most affordable on the list. It was retailing for ₹10,499 (4GB + 64GB) and ₹11,499 (4GB + 128GB). But now, it sells for ₹10,999 and ₹11,999.

Then, the popular realme narzo 30 was being sold at ₹12,499 (4GB + 64GB), ₹13,499 (6GB + 64GB), and ₹14,499 (6GB + 128GB). The same handset now carries price tags of ₹12,999, ₹13,999, and ₹14,999.

Realme Narzo 30 5G and Narzo 30 Pro 5G are two faces of the same coin. It is one of the few cases in which the Pro variant is not necessarily better than the vanilla version under every aspect. Given that most of the specifications of these two devices are similar, with this specs comparison we will focus on the differences rather than telling you which one is the best. They carry two different price tags, but the compromises are not many: let’s discover together which one should fit your needs the most.

Realme Narzo 30 5G vs Narzo 30 Pro 5G

Design

Despite it is the vanilla version, the Realme Narzo 30 5G has a more attractive design. With that stripe on the left, it looks very futuristic and original while offering a thinner body than the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G, even though it has the same battery capacity. The vanilla Narzo 30 5G is even lighter than its Pro variant, and this makes it even more attractive when it comes to aesthetics. Both the phones have narrow bezels, a punch-hole design, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader, as well as a rectangle-shaped camera module and a polycarbonate body.

Display

Realme Narzo 30 5G and Narzo 30 Pro 5G are equipped with exactly the same display. It is an IPS panel with a 90 Hz refresh rate, a diagonal of 6.5 inches, a 480 nits typical brightness, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. We are not talking about a high-end panel and neither a great midrange panel, but it is sufficient for every kind of user for both detail and image quality. Further, its good refresh rate will please gamers and those who want a smoother viewing experience. Given that it is an IPS panel, it does not provide the deepest colors and it does not integrate a fingerprint reader. It is an average panel like the ones you can often find on a lower-midrange phone.

Specs & Software

The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G is able to provide superior performance to the vanilla Nazro 30 5G because of its stronger processor. It is a Dimensity 800U by MediaTek, a definitely better SoC compared with the Dimensity 700 found on its more affordable sibling. Further, with the Pro variant, you can also get more RAM: up to 8 GB. The internal storage of the most expensive variant is the same for both handsets: 128 GB. But the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G also comes in a version with 64 GB of storage offering a higher value for money. Note that Narzo 30 Pro 5G has Android 10 out of the box, while Narzo 30 5G has Android 11.

Camera

Realme Narzo 30 5G and 30 Pro 5G have a triple camera department which includes the same main sensor: a 48 MP camera with an f/1.8 focal aperture. You can find this kind of sensor on most of the lower mid-range phones in the market: it is able to click good photos in good light conditions, but not amazing ones. The Pro variant differs from the vanilla version due to the presence of an additional 8 MP ultrawide camera paired with a 2 MP macro camera, while the standard Narzo 30 5G has just a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculations. The front cameras are the same: a 16 MP sensor with f/2.1 focal aperture. These phones are able to record 4K videos from the rear camera and 1080p videos from the front camera.

Battery

At last, Realme Narzo 30 5G and Narzo 30 Pro 5G feature the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. Their chipsets are built with the same production process and the display is the same, so they provide more or less the same battery life. The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G wins the fast charging comparison with a power of 30W, while Narzo 30 5G has just 18W.

Price

Realme Narzo 30 5G is priced at Rs. 15,999 / $215 in India, while the Pro version costs Rs. 16,290 / $220. If we exclude that the vanilla Narzo 30 5G has Android 11 out of the box while the Pro variant has Android 10, the Narzo 30 Pro 5G is definitely a better phone and it even offers a higher value for money with the actual prices.

The post Realme Narzo 30 5G vs Narzo 30 Pro 5G: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung recently launched its most affordable 5G phone: the Galaxy A22 5G. Probably a lot of people did not expect a so affordable 5G device from a brand like Samsung, but it became very evident how the Korean giant wants to fight the Chinese concurrency with all of its strength. That is why we think it is a great moment to compare the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G with the other entry-level 5G phones. Among the most affordable 5G devices sold in the global market, you have the Realme 8 5G and the OPPO A54 5G. Here is a specs comparison between three of the cheapest but valid 5G phones out there.

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G

Design

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G does not provide an amazing design. Just like its two rivals, it is entirely built of plastic, but its design looks more outdated. Instead of a punch-hole display, it comes with a waterdrop notch and it has thicker bezels around the screen. The OPPO A54 5G is definitely more attractive not only for its punch-hole display but also because it comes in catchier color variants. The Realme 8 5G is nice as well, despite I personally prefer the design of the OPPO A54 5G.

Display

The OPPO A54 5G is equipped with the most advanced display: an LTPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. With the Realme 8 5G, you get an IPS display with a Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate which sits in the middle. The Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is Full HD+ and 90 Hz as well, but it has a TFT panel. Each of these phones comes with a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Hardware/Software

The most advanced hardware setup belongs to the Realme 8 5G. It is powered by the Dimensity 700 mobile platform built at 7 nm paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.1 native storage which you can furtherly expand through a micro SD dedicated slot. Right after, we got the Samsung Galaxy A22 5G with a Dimensity 700 chipset and memory configuration up to 8/128 GB, but it has no UFS 2.1 storage. With the OPPO A54 5G you get Snapdragon 480, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of native storage. All the phones run Android 11 with customized UIs.

Camera

If you need the most advanced camera department, you should go for the OPPO A54 5G. All of these phones come with a 48 MP main camera sporting an f/1.8 focal aperture, but the OPPO A54 5G has better secondary sensors, including an 8 MP ultrawide camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Realme 8 5G lacks an ultrawide camera, while Samsung Galaxy A22 5G has an inferior ultrawide sensor and it lacks a dedicated macro camera.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G, Realme 8 5G, and Samsung Galaxy A22 5G are equipped with 5000 mAh batteries and provide a great battery life, but the OPPO A54 5G lacks fast charging, unlike its two opponents.

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Price

Samsung Galaxy A22 5G is priced €230/$279 in its base variant, Realme 8 5G starts from €199/$241, and OPPO A54 5G costs €269/$326 (Europe). The OPPO A54 5G is definitely the best device if we exclude the fact that it only comes in a 4/64 GB configuration, but the Realme 8 5G has the highest value for money.

The post Samsung Galaxy A22 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi announced the most affordable 5G phone in Europe: the POCO M3 Pro 5G. It packs impressive specifications if we consider its listing price. But is it the best cheap 5G phone you can currently get in the global market? We think there is no better way to realize it than comparing its specifications with the other most affordable 5G phones from the other brands. So this is a comparison between POCO M3 Pro 5G, OPPO A54 5G, and Realme 8 5G.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G

Design

The POCO M3 Pro 5G is the handset with the most original design in the trio, especially in the POCO Yellow color variant. But with the OPPO A54 5G, you actually get a thinner body. The Realme 8 5G is the most lightweight one. There is no real winner between these devices if we consider the design: it is mostly a matter of taste. All are made of polycarbonate, so you do not get premium materials. Even the dimensions are more or less the same. They all sport a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Display

All of these phones come with LCD displays sporting a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a diagonal of 6.5 inches, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. But with the OPPO A54 5G you get a slightly better panel with the LTPS technology. Given that we are talking about average IPS displays, do not expect a huge image quality. But they are more than sufficient for every user. With the POCO M3 Pro 5G, you get a lower brightness, so while the OPPO A54 5G takes the crown, the second place goes to the Realme 8 5G.

Hardware/Software

On the paper, the MediaTek Dimensity 700 found on the POCO M3 Pro 5G and Realme 8 5G is a better processor if compared to the Snapdragon 480 5G found on the OPPO A54 5G. Further, with the OPPO A54 5G you get just 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of native storage. The best hardware setup is provided by the Realme 8 5G which sports up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. But you should not underestimate the POCO M3 Pro 5G with its UFS 2.2 storage, despite it packs a max of 6 GB of RAM. All the phones run Android 11 out of the box with customized user interfaces.

Camera

The OPPO A54 5G has the most advanced cameras. It packs a quad camera including a 48 MP main sensor with a brighter f/1.7 focal aperture, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. Unfortunately, the POCO M3 Pro 5G and the Realme 8 5G lack an ultrawide camera. Further, they do not have a focal aperture as bright as the OPPO A54 5G. With the POCO M3 Pro 5G, you even get an inferior 8 MP front camera.

Battery

The POCO M3 Pro 5G, the OPPO A54 5G, and the Realme 8 5G come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. But the POCO M3 Pro 5G and the Realme 8 5G should have a lower energy consumption due to the 7 nm production process of the Dimensity 700. Further, you should consider that OPPO A54 5G lacks fast charging, so it takes a bit more to charge its battery.

Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G vs OPPO A54 5G vs Realme 8 5G: Price

POCO M3 Pro 5G’s prices start from €159/$194, OPPO A54 5G costs €269/$328, and Realme 8 5G is priced at €199/$242. While OPPO A54 5G is definitely a more convincing device, with the Realme 8 5G and the POCO M3 Pro 5G (which is the weakest one in terms of overall specs) you get a higher value for money.

Chinese smartphone maker Realme has launched a cheaper variant of the budget Realme 8 5G with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The Realme 8 5G was launched in India back in April but was available in 4GB + 128GB priced at Rs. 14,999 (~$200) and an 8GB + 128GB variant priced at Rs. 16,999 (~$227). The new 4GB + 64GB variant brings even more affordability to an already affordable smartphone. It is priced at Rs. 13999 (~$191) and will go on sale on May 18th.

Apart from the new memory option, this variant still retains the same features as the higher memory options. As a reminder, the Realme 8 5G packs a 6.5-inch LCD display having an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display also supports a 90Hz refresh rate and has a pixel density of 405 PPI, as well as a peak brightness of 600 nits. The display has a  90.5% screen-to-body ratio and houses a punch-hole at the top left corner.

The budget smartphone is powered by a 5G-enabled Dimensity 700 SoC backed by LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage. It equally comes with a dedicated MicroSD slot, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, A-GPS, BeiDou, GALILEO, QZSS, and GLONASS. The Indian version, sadly, doesn’t come with NFC.

For photography, the Realme 8 5G features a triple camera setup at the rear which includes a 48MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP monochrome sensor. For selfies, there is a 16MP snapper housed in the punch-hole.

Under the hood, the device crams a massive 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging which charges over a USB Type-C port. For interface, it runs Android 11-based realme UI 2.0. The phone packs a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Realme 8 5G comes in Supersonic Black and Supersonic Blue color options. It will be sold on Flipkart, realme.com, and offline stores.

In the past few years, Realme has continued to make inroads into overseas markets with its affordable smartphones. Its mid-rangers continue to attract the attention of its growing customer base. Weeks after an impressive unveiling of its most recent offerings in India, Realme has launched the Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G smartphones across Europe. The United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain are the first countries in Europe that the mid-range smartphones will berth before it subsequently spreads across the continent within few days, expectedly.

We note that the two smartphones – Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G are essentially different phones, with few similarities. Principally, the 5G version has greater functionality than expected and offers a 48MP triple camera on the rear, compared to the Realme 8, which has a 64MP primary camera in a quad-camera setup. The 5G version has a 30W fast charging capability, while the LTE version only offers 18W charging speed. In terms of the processors, you get a MediaTek chipset on both models but while the 8 4G packs a Helio G95 chipset, the Realme 8 5G is powered by a Dimensity 700 SoC.

The Realme 8 4G is available in 4GB and 6GB RAM capacity, together with 64GB and 128GB internal storage. The two variants are priced respectively as £199 and £219. It is already available for direct purchase from Realme in three color options: Cyber silver, Punk black, and Cyber black. The three color variants of the Realme 8 are well-adorned with a touch of Realme excellence. On the other hand, the Realme 8 5G comes in two variants in terms of the available RAM and storage. The 4GB/64GB version is available for £199, while the 6GB/128GB variant will go for £249. A three-day discount window of £20 is open for everyone who preorders on or before May 15. Actual sales commence on May 20 for both the Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G in the aforementioned European countries.

The post Realme 8 with Helio G95 and Dimensity 700-powered Realme 8 5G arrive Europe appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme 8 Pro was the first model to hit the global market and it came alone, initially. But after a few weeks, two other handsets from the same lineup have been launched globally: the vanilla Realme 8 and the Realme 8 5G. Now, the 8 series for the global market consists of three different models, two of which are sold with the same price tag. Which is the best one and which one should you choose depending on your needs? This specs comparison will clear your ideas.

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro vs Realme 8 5G

Design

The Realme 8 Pro has the sleekest design of the trio. Thanks to its smaller battery, the phone has a thinner body and it is even lighter than Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G. This is the only reason making the Pro version better than the other two models of the lineup because the rest of the design is similar and the materials used are the same.

Display

Realme 8 and 8 Pro have exactly the same display, which is actually better than the panel found on the Realme 8 5G. We are talking about a Super AMOLED panel showing vivid colors and absolute blacks, with a Full HD+ resolution, a standard refresh rate, and a peak brightness up to 1000 nits. The display also comes with an integrated fingerprint scanner for authentication. The Realme 8 5G has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but in this case, we are talking about an IPS panel. In each case, you get the Full HD+ resolution with 1080 x 2400 pixels, but the Realme 8 5G has a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Hardware/Software

The most satisfying processor in terms of performance is the one provided by the Realme 8 Pro, which is powered by the Snapdragon 720G mobile platform. The chip is built at 8 nm and it comes with very high GPU performance. But it lacks 5G, so you might prefer the slightly lower performance offered by the Relame 8 5G because it provides 5G support. Further, the Dimensity 700 is built with a 7 nm production process. The phones all run Android 11 out of the box, customized by Realme UI 2.0.

Camera

The king of camera phones in the Realme 8 series is the Realme 8 Pro because of its main camera: a Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor with a 108 MP resolution and the in-sensor zoom technology. It captures a higher level of detail and provides better overall photo quality. Right after, we got the Realme 8 with its 64 MP rear camera. The Realme 8 5G is the most disappointing one: besides having an inferior 48 MP main camera, it lacks the ultrawide sensor too, unlike Realme 8 and 8 Pro.

Battery

Realme 8 Pro loses the battery comparison and Realme 8 is the longest-lasting battery phone of the trio. It has a 5000 mAh battery and a Super AMOLED display instead of the IPS panel found on the Realme 8 5G, which reduces energy consumption. Realme 8 Pro is the best when it comes to fast charging, thanks to a power of 50W.

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro vs Realme 8 5G: Price

Realme 8 and Realme 8 5G are priced at €199/$240 in the global market (base variants), while you need €279/$337 to get the Realme 8 Pro. If we exclude the absence of 5G connectivity, the Realme 8 Pro is definitely the most interesting one, but it costs more. Between Realme 8 and 8 5G, the first is better due to its AMOLED display, better cameras, and faster charging: Realme 8 5G has the same price just because of the chipset and 5G connectivity.

On the connectivity front, the handset supports dual-SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and GNSS (GPS, A-GPS, BeiDou, GALILEO, QZSS, GLONASS). It also has all the essential sensors and ports like an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dedicated MicroSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port. However, it lacks NFC, which is present in the variant launched in Thailand.

Lastly, the smartphone is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging, runs realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11, measures 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.5mm in dimensions, weighs 185g, and comes in two colors (Supersonic Black, Supersonic Blue).

There was a mistake regarding the investment amount in the PR sent to us. realme is investing $300 million in the 5G development. The changes have been made accordingly.

Original story as follows…

realme has been on a mission to bring the 5G to users around the globe. It is gearing up to launch the 5G version of the realme 8 series soon and has even launched flagships like realme X7 Pro in markets of SEA, India, and other global markets. To accelerate the company’s vision to democratize 5G, it is investing more and setting up new R&D centers.

In a press release, the company’s CEO Sky Li says that the company is a “popularizer
of 5G” in the global arena. realme has always voiced towards the expansion of 5G and in the latest efforts, it ramping up the scale to a greater extent.

The company’s area of focus seems to be in high-performance and affordable 5G products that will cover 70% of its global portfolio in two years. As mentioned above, it is targeting younger generation users in countries like India, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

In the future, it is also planning to set up 10 5G pop-up stores with experience zones exclusively for young people(Gen Z users) to experience first-hand 5G technology in cloud gaming and ultra HD live broadcasts with AR.

realme started its 5G journey with the launch of realme X50 5G back in January 2020. Following this, it has launched several products at aggressive prices and the latest Narzo 30 Pro 5G is an example of it. To make the 5G rollout easier, the company is now investing $300 million $30 million and setting up 7 R&D centers across the globe.

Specifically, it says that it will allocate nearly 90% of the R&D resources for the development of 5G technology, products, and application scenarios. This year, i.e, 2021, it is setting up pilot testing plants in 10-15 markets.

Apart from the roster mentioned above, realme says it also contributes to the construction of 5G networks by working with industry partners, such as major telecoms operators, Internet providers, and application developers to explore new high-end 5G technologies.

Not just that, realme is also aware of the AIoT market and is taking the “smartphone and AIoT” dual approach to catalyze the process. It has already committed to launching more than 100 AIoT products in 2021.

realme was the fastest-growing smartphone brand to hit 50 million shipments last year and the push for 5G will only aid the company further this year. Nevertheless, we wish the company good luck in keeping up the momentum going into 2021 and beyond.

Last month, Realme announced the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro smartphones in India. Today, Realme’s Thailand wing officially confirmed today that the Realme 8 5G series will be launching in Thailand on April 21.

The teaser video showcases the rear design of the Realme 8 5G. It is likely that the company will be releasing more teasers of the Realme 8 5G and Realme 8 Pro 5G before the launch event, which will be held at 6 PM (local time) on April 21 in Thailand.

A new Realme phone with an RMX3241model number was certified by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) authority of Thailand. This phone has also been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) authorities in the recent past.

While the BIS certification did not reveal any specification of the Realme 8 5G phone, its FCC listing revealed that it measures 162.25 x 74.8 x 8.5mm and it weighs 185 grams. The FCC certification also confirmed a few other details such as Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS, dual 5G, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Speculations are rife that the Realme 8 5G will be equipped with the Dimensity 700 chipset. It is speculated that it could be arriving as one of the most affordable 5G phones from the brand. Nothing much is known about the Realme 8 Pro 5G. Rumors surrounding it have claimed that it could be equipped with the Snapdragon 750G. A recent leak claimed that the Realme 8 5G and Realme 8 Pro 5G will be breaking cover on April 22 in India. The country is also expected to receive another phone called the Realme 8i.

The post Realme 8 5G series to launch on April 21 in Thailand appeared first on Gizmochina.

realme India support team has already confirmed that the company will launch realme 8 5G and realme 8 Pro 5G in India very soon. Now, we have got some information on their launch date.

realme Central, citing their source, reports that the realme 8, 8 Pro 5G devices will debut in India on April 22. Back at the realme 8 4G series launch, Madhav Sheth did confirm that the company is bringing the realme 8 5G version soon.

Later, as mentioned above, the support team, while replying to a user’s query, confirmed that there’s also a ‘Pro’ variant coming with the 5G support. However, we don’t have enough information on the realme 8 Pro 5G just yet.

That said, the vanilla version has popped up on certification sites like BIS, NBTC, Peruvian MTC, and FCC. While the BIS and NBTC listings suggested their arrival to India and Thailand respectively, the FCC had revealed few specs.

As per the FCC listing, the realme 8 5G measures 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.5mm and weighs 185 grams. The phone runs on Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS and has a 5,000mAh battery underneath. Apart from the obvious 5G connectivity, other possible specs include Wi-fi 802.11ac, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, NFC.

realme brought the Narzo 30 Pro 5G with LCD display and a Dimensity 800U 5G chipset. Considering the 4G versions of the realme 8 series have AMOLED, the 5G devices should also have it.

However, there are chances that realme might opt for an LCD display to keep the costs optimal. Additionally, just like the realme Narzo 30 Pro, the realme 8 Pro 5G might launch with a Dimensity 800U chipset while the vanilla realme 8 5G may come with Dimensity 700.

Either way, let’s wait for official info which could be coming out very soon.

As it can be seen above, in a response to a Twitter user, Realme India’s support team revealed that the company has already planned to launch Realme 8 and 8 Pro 5G soon in India. The Realme 8 5G is the Realme RMX3241 smartphone that was recently certification by regulatory bodies like India’s BIS, Thailand’s NTBC, and the FCC in the U.S. recently.

The Realme 8 5G is now listed  on the Peruvian MTC certification platform. The listing includes a couple of render of the Realme 8 5G. The handset can be seen sporting a quad-camera setup. The “Dare to Leap” branding with a holographic background can be seen on the right side of the phone’s back. While the front design of the phone is not known yet, it is speculated that it could be featuring an OLED screen with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The FCC listing of the phone revealed that it has 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.5mm dimensions and it weighs 185 grams. The phone runs on Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS and it is backed by a 5,000mAh battery. It offers connectivity options like 5G, Wi-fi 802.11ac, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, NFC, and 5G. There is no information available on the specs of the Realme 8 Pro 5G.

Recently. Sheth said, “We will have a Realme 8 5G version soon (but not so early). We have to understand that adding 5G with these features will incur additional costs.” Hence, it appears that the Realme 8 5G may launch by the end of this month. It is unclear whether the Pro model will also go official alongside it.

A couple of days ago, Realme launched its latest smartphone lineup in the Indian market — the Realme 8 series, which includes the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. Now, the company is gearing up to launch a couple of other devices in the same series.

A new report claims that the China-based company could soon launch Realme 8 5G and the Realme 8i smartphones in India. This was also confirmed by Madhav Sheth, Vice President and CEO of Realme India and Europe.

During an interview with the Financial Express, Madhav Sheth said, “We will have a Realme 8 5G version soon (but not so early). We have to understand that adding 5G with these features will incur additional costs.”

While the launch date and the pricing details have not been revealed yet, the report speculates that the Realme 8 5G could be priced between Realme 8 and 8 Pro, which are Rs 14,999 ($~207) and Rs 17,999 (~$248). If that turns out to be true, then the phone could be the cheapest 5G in the Indian market.

Currently, there is no information available about the upcoming Realme 8i smartphone but going by the name, the device is likely to be the toned-down variant of the standard Realme 8 smartphone in India. We expect to know more about the phones in the coming weeks as the launch date nears.

Apart from these two phones, the company is also preparing to launch its flagship smartphone — Realme GT in the Indian market. The phone has already been launched in China and when it goes official in India, it could be the most expensive from the company.

The Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro smartphones will be made official at 7:30 PM local time in India today. Earlier today, a new Realme phone with model number RMX3241 was spotted in the database of Thailand’s National Broadcasting Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). The listing revealed that the device will be launching as the Realme 8 5G in Thailand. The handset is also expected to arrive in India since it has also received approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Neither the NBTC nor the BIS listing of the Realme 8 5G have any information on its specifications. Apart from the RMX3241 model, another Realme phone with RMX3242 has also appeared in the database of BIS. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the specs of the Realme 8 5G.

The Realme 8 4G is powered by the Helio P95 chipset. While the 5G variant will feature a 5G-ready chipset, it may borrow some of its specs from its 4G sibling.

The handset will draw power from a 5,000mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging. It will come preinstalled with Android 11 OS.

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.

I asked him directly and he said he already hands on with the phone I recently. realme 8 series have both 4G and 5G version. Trust me, his OPPO/realme leak won't be a lie https://t.co/kgNx6eLseD

— CEO of Chun Corp (Tet forever) (@chunvn8888) March 2, 2021

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.
