The wait is over! After several months running on the Open Beta programme announced back in February this year, Realme has finally announced on its community forum that the brand has finally officially rolled out the stable Realme UI 3.0 OS update based on Android 12, to its Realme 8 Pro, Realme 7 Pro, and Realme C25s users!

The Realme UI 3.0 stable update rollout will be released to users in batches, and to be eligible for the update, users will have to make sure that they are on the latest firmware version of Realme UI 2.0. For Realme 8 Pro users, that will be RMX3081_11.A.47 / RMX3081_11.A.48 ; for Realme 7 Pro users, that will be RMX2170_11.C.30 / RMX2170_11.C.32 ; and for Realme C25s users, that will be RMX3197_11.A.19 / RMX3197_11.A.20.

As for what new features the update brings, Realme says that Realme UI 3.0 is now revamped with a new design, which aims to deliver a more comfortable, natural and simpler user experience. The Realme UI 3.0 update changelog for the Realme 8 Pro, Realme 7 Pro and Realme C25s are identical, and if you want to read further through all the new features and highlights, you can do so with the changelog we have attached below.

If you do decide to upgrade to Android 12, Realme notes several common issues it received from users after the Android 12 upgrade:

1. It may take a longer time to boot for the first time, especially if there are many third-party applications on your phone.
2. In order to improve the system operation efficiency and eliminate potential safety risks, the system will perform a series of actions such as application adaptation, background optimization and security scanning which may cause slight hanging and faster power consumption.

However, these software issues will normally go away once a week has passed and your phone has adapted to the new system.

The Realme 7 Pro is the oldest device here among the three with it launching back on September 14, 2020, almost 2 years ago. It launched with Realme UI 1.0 based on Android 10 out of the box. And the Android 12 update is expected to be the last major Android OS upgrade for the smartphone, as it had received 2 Android OS upgrades in its life cycle. The phone came with the first AMOLED display on a Realme number series device, a mid-range Snapdragon 720G processor, as well as support for 65W SuperDart fast wired charging to boot, making it a very competitive mid-range device in the market at that time.

Meanwhile, both the Realme 8 Pro and Realme C25s were launched in 2021 with Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11. The Realme 8 Pro came with a Snapdragon 720G chipset, 108MP main camera, and 50W fast wired charging whilst the Realme C25s launched with an Helio G85 SoC and 6000mAh battery.

The post Android 12 Stable Update Now Available for Realme 8 Pro, 7 Pro and Realme C25s users appeared first on Gizmochina.

Smartphone brands have been trying their best to update their update your portfolio to Android 12 for months. However, none of them are yet to finish the rollout, including Samsung. On the other hand, realme was slow to begin but yesterday, the brand started rolling out the latest version of Android to 3 devices at once.

Chinese tech brand realme has begun to roll out the realme UI 3.0 stable update based on Android 12 for three of its phones, namely realme 8 Pro, realme GT Master Edition, and the realme X7 Max 5G.

All of them are popular models. The first one is a budget model, while the remaining two are mid-rangers. The trio debuted with Android 11-based realme UI 2.0. Hence, this is their first major software update.

According to the official announcement posts on realme Community, the Android 12 stable update for the realme GT Master Edition and realme X7 Max 5G arrives with firmware versions RMX3360_11.C.05 and RMX3031_11.A.22 respectively.

The brand is yet to officially announce the rollout for realme 8 Pro. Anyway, RMLeaks reports that the fresh software update for the handset comes with firmware version RMX3081_11_C.13.

The stable realme UI 3.0 update for the aforementioned smartphones is being pushed in batches. Therefore, it will take a few days to reach every unit.

Ahead of Christmas, Realme kickstarted Realme UI 3.0 Early Access program for the Realme 8 Pro. Two months later, the device has been now promoted to the Open Beta program. Let’s check out how users can enroll in this initiative.

According to the official announcement post on Realme Community, anyone with the Realme 8 Pro can register for the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 Open Beta program. The only requirement is that the device should be on firmware version RMX3081_11.A.45.

All they have to do is go to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version > Submit Details > Apply Now. Applicants who get selected will receive the beta software via OTA.

Realme says that only limited seats are allocated. Therefore, interested users are advised to apply as soon as possible. As far as Early Access members are concerned, they don’t need to register as they will receive the Open Beta update directly via OTA.

The Realme 8 Pro is not the only smartphone from the brand to get Realme UI 3.0 Open Beta update recently. Last week, the company started releasing the same update for Realme GT Neo2, Realme GT Master Edition, and Realme X7 Max.

Hence, these four handsets will be likely promoted to Realme UI 3.0 Stable based on Android 12 at around the same time. Hopefully, that happens sooner than later.

According to the Android 12-based realme UI 3.0 update timeline shared by realme, a total of four devices are supposed to receive ‘Early Access’ builds in December 2021. As three of them have got the update in the past few days, the fourth and the last one, realme 8 Pro, also gets it now.

The realme 8 Pro is the first budget smartphone from realme to join the realme UI 3.0 Early Access program. According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the registrations for the initiative kickstarted on December 17.

 In order to enroll in the program, users should be on firmware version RMX3081_11.C.09. If they are, then they need to go through Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version > Apply Now > Submit Details.

Selected applicants will receive the realme UI 3.0 (Android 12) Early Access build via OTA. If participants don’t get selected, then they can try their luck in the next round of recruitment.

Users have an option to roll back to the realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) stable channel if they are not satisfied with the new software. However, this process will erase the phone’s internal storage.

At present, it’s not known when realme 8 Pro will get access to the realme 3.0 stable update based on Android 12.

The post Deal : Get Realme 8 Pro Global Version for $349.90 from AliExpress 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.

The post Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro vs Realme 8 5G: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Realme announced the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro mid-range phones in India. At the unveiling event, the Pro model was announced in two colors such as Infinite Black, Infinite Blue, and Illuminating Yellow. At that time, the company claimed that the yellow variant will be made available for purchase later. Realme recently held a launch event in India to announce the arrival of the Realme 8 5G. At the end of the event, the company also confirmed that the Realme 8 Pro’s Illuminating Yellow model will be available for purchase from April 26 in the country.

There is no difference between the Realme 8 Pro Illuminating Yellow edition and the existing variants in terms of specs and design. The back panel of the phone has a yellow paint job, but the area surrounding the camera island is fluorescent and it can absorb light and glow in the dark.

The Realme 8 Pro comes in two options such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. Both models are available for purchase in Illuminating Yellow color through Realme India’s online store and Flipkart.

Realme 8 Pro specifications and features

The Realme 8 Pro has a 6.4-inch S-AMOLED display with a punch-hole design. It offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. a 20:9 aspect ratio, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS comes preinstalled on the smartphone. The device is fueled by the Snapdragon 720G chipset and LPDDR4x RAM.

The triple camera system of the phone has a 108-megapixel Samsung HM2 primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel B&W lens. It has a 4,500mAhb battery that carries support for 30W fast charging.

In the last article, we gave a brief picture of the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. In this article, we will compare these two models and tell you what exactly makes the Pro model worthy of its PRO title, and also if the Realme 8 can defeat the Pro in some areas.

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro: Design 

We hardly found any differences in their appearances. These twin models share the same 90Hz 1080P AMOLED display and a similar rear design. The only detail that helps us to distinguish one from the other is their rear processing.

For Realme 8 Pro, there are 3 color options, which are Infinite Blue, Infinite Black, Illuminating Yellow; while for Realme 8, there are only two options: Cyber silver and cyber black. Since we introduced their appearance in the last article, today we won’t go through their design in detail. 

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro: Benchmarks & Gaming

Let’s shift our attention to their performance department, which is where the two models differ. The Realme 8 comes with an MTK Helio G95 chipset, while the Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 720G chipset. Both of them are popular mid-range chipsets. 

But does the Pro achieve better performance and provide a better gaming experience? 

Well, the answer is quite complicated.  

Let’s see the benchmark results first. In Geekbench 5, their results are pretty close. The standard 8 got a slightly better score in the multi-core test, while the 8 Pro got a score over the 8 Pro in the single-core test. But overall their CPU performance is almost at the same level. 

In 3Dmark which mainly tests models’ graphic processing, however, the standard 8 won the race with an obvious lead in the overall score, which shows a performance gap of nearly 40% between them. 

But how about actual gaming?

Well in PUBG Mobile, there is no way to unleash the best performance from each of the models, because the game only supports a balanced graphic setting with a framerate limit of 40fps. So both of them run the game extremely stably at 40fps.

Eventually, under the same testing conditions, the average framerate remained at 39.6fps for the 8 Pro and 39.8fps for the standard 8.

So we turned to another game, Genshin Impact, which mainly relies on the CPU performance. In this game, the results are pretty close to what we got in Geekbench 5. Their performance in the game is pretty close. Specifically, the Pro version achieved a slightly higher framerate at 48.8fps, while the standard 8 was also not bad at 46.7fps. It looks like there is no solid evidence that shows a remarkable gap between the standard 8 and 8 Pro’s CPU performance.

The last game we tested was the Nimian Legend, which mainly assesses the best performance from a phone’s GPU. In this game, the standard model staged a comeback with a small lead. The Standard 8 got a result of 24.6fps while the 8 Pro ran it at 22.6fps. 

To conclude, we have to say there is no obvious performance gap simply looking at their gaming results. But if we look deeper at their power consumption and heat management, the Pro seems to have a more efficient performance output. 

In most games, although their performance was pretty close to each other, the Pro was always able to maintain a lower power consumption. 

However, we also have to add that the standard 8 model comes with a larger 5000mAh battery. So eventually we still are not able to judge which one has got a longer battery life since they are too close in our power consumption test. 

Now let’s look at the area where they differ the most — the cameras. 

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro: Camera Performance

The main camera on the Realme 8 comes with 64MP resolution, while the main camera on the Realme 8 Pro is a 108MP HM2 sensor. The other three lenses are the same on both phones, including an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro one, and another black&white lens. 

But before we start to show you all the samples, we have to remind you that the software on both these models is likely a non-commercial version, which means that some issues that we encountered in this review will be fixed in the near future updates. 

Okay, let’s start it with their main cameras. 

Main Camera

The HDR mode is easily activated on the standard 8 model, so sometimes the standard model has better presentation of colors than the Pro. 

But the Realme 8 Pro is able to deliver better saturation and higher contrast on most occasions.

At the same time, the Realme 8 Pro tends to present purer images with better noise control, while the processing on the standard 8 seems to more focus on shape detail, which makes the whole images look noisier and jaggier. Another problem shared by both is the fringing effect when shooting high-contrast scenes. 

Night Camera Performance

When we moved to the night scene, the 8 Pro shows great progress in brightness and its ability to capture rich detail, but it doesn’t significantly improve the quality of the sample in the dark areas. 

While the standard 8’s night shots are not as good as what we had on the 8 Pro especially in the dark regions, the difference is not so significant. In addition, although the standard model’s night mode can slightly improve the sharpness of the images, the edges sometimes would turn out to be reddish. But it should probably be fixed in the next few updates. 

Wide Angle Cameras

As for the wide-angle cameras, the Pro’s samples have higher saturation and continue to be less noisy, while the samples shot on the Standard model are not that great with less noise control. However, at the same time, Realme 8’s sharper image presents more details. 

For their wide-angle cameras, sometimes the auto mode of both the models look better than with the night mode turned on. The auto mode samples doesn’t just have better colors but also has better exposure for brightness.

The 8 Pro’s low-light images sometimes turn out to be a bit greenish, and its image quality may not compare to the samples shot on the standard model’s wide-angle camera. 

108MP vs 64MP modes

Thanks to the 108MP super high-resolution sensor, the 8 Pro is dominant in the zoom race. That’s because both of their digital zoom capacity was based on the high resolution of their main cameras.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that the 8 Pro has the much better zoom capacity. 

Macro Cameras

Recently we have seen even some budget phones featuring a similar macro camera found on the Realme 8 series. In fact, we don’t think it’s a smart move to reserve such low-resolution macro lens on 2021 smartphones, since most of them have proved to be useless with poor image quality. And the Realme 8 series is no exception. 

Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro: Battery

As for battery, we think Realme is pretty smart to choose the right solutions for both the models. A 5000mAh battery for the Realme 8 powered by the Helio G95 with slightly higher power consumption; and another 4500mAh battery for the Realme 8 Pro running the Snapdragon 720G. To give you a basic idea of their battery life, we played Genshin Impact, shot photos and videos, and watched online videos, and performed each activity for 30 minutes. Then we recorded the power consumption for each activity. Their results were very close to each other, which also confirm excellent battery performance at their price. 

In our full-charge test, it took us 66 mins to fully charge the Realme 8, while on the Pro model, it took 17 mins less than this figure to charge it to 100%.

So this was our comparison between the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. To be honest, these two models both have fairly great value for money and there were no obvious issues during our daily use. 

Note that the Pro model’s cameras, especially the main camera is better than its twin brother. But apart from that, both the models perform similar to each other. 

So which model do you prefer? Please leave your comments down below and let us know what else we can review for you. 

There are a lot of new models coming in the next few days! So stay tuned!

Realme has finally launched the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro today, and we were the first to get our hands on these two models. If you missed the launch, that’s okay. Let me quickly give you an overview of the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro, and show you what’s exactly updated on the new Realme 8 Series. Note that the one in black is the Realme 8 while the one in blue is the Realme 8 Pro.

Note that you can win one Realme 8 smartphone for free by participating in our giveaway.

Both Realme 8 models come in the classic Realme Yellow box. Inside the box, the Realme 8 comes with a 30w charger while the Pro comes with a 65w charger. You’ll immediately feel how thin and light the two phones are when you hold them in your hands. The Realme 8 Pro weighs just 176g and is 8.1mm thick, which is a bit thinner than the Standard 8. As you can see from these figures alone, such a compact body on a smartphone is rare these days.

Both phones share the same style of the lens module on the back, with a rectangular Quad-Camera design in the top left corner. What really makes them different is their primary cameras. On the Realme 8 Pro,theres a 108MP sensor with an f/1.88 aperture. As for the Realme 8, the primary camera is pretty decent at 64MP resolution. And both of them come with an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro lens, and another 2MP Black & white lens. 

In the design department, the main difference between these two models distinguishing one from another is in the material and the processing of the back cover. The standard 8 model comes with a split design and a splicing process on the back. The area below the lens and the slogan on the Realme 8 shines a lot in different lights, while the rest of the back cover looks a bit low-profile.

The Realme 8 Pro looks more aggressive. The lens module and the slogan are made of special fluorescent material, which allows them to glow in the dark. The rest of the back cover uses the AG-crystal Process, which is frosted with a larger grain and looks shiny. 

It’s not common to see such intricate processing and unique design on other mid-range phones. Both the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro appear more youthful and vibrant. This is a really impressive improvement over the previous Realme models.

The processor used in the Realme 8 is the MTK Helio G95 and the Pro version features the Snapdragon 720G. Neither phone has a super strong processor and both are targeted at the mid-range segment.

The main camera on the Realme 8 comes with a 64MP resolution, while the main camera on the Pro version is equipped with a 108MP HM2 sensor. The other three lenses are the same on both the phones, including an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro one, and another black&white lens. We’ll be putting up tests on performance and cameras in the following video and article, so don’t forget to stay tuned to our upcoming articles and videos. 

The screen specs are identical on both the Realme 8 models. Both come with a 6.4-inch 1080P AMOLED display. The touch sampling rate is 180Hz and the peak brightness is 1000 nits. And thanks to the use of the AMOLED display, both of them come with an in-display fingerprint reader. Apart from the lack of a high refresh rate, this screen should be considered OK for a mid-range phone – After all, there are plenty of phones using LCD screens with higher power consumption and weaker color presentation and contrast. 

The Realme 8 Pro comes with a 4500mAh battery while the Realme 8 features an even larger 5000mAh battery. Perhaps these battery capacities might not come as shocking to you. But consider that they weigh only 177g and it’s surprising that they can still cram in such a large battery with such constraints. 

The charging speed on the Realme 8 is 30w, but on the Realme 8 Pro it’s 50W. The included 65w charger for the Pro model is probably a nice touch to allow you to charge other devices. 

There is only one single speaker, but we have also got good news in the audio department. A headphone jack is reserved and it is Hi-Res Audio Certified. Both of them come with the same 3-card slot for two sim cards and another SD card. 

What’s disappointing about the two models is the lack of infrared and NFC.

As for their operation system, both of them are running the Android-based Realme UI, which has a close relationship with the Color OS developed by OPPO. The system runs pretty fluently and we could spot no obvious discomfort during our time with the devices. 

So that was our first impression of the Realme 8 and 8 Pro. Both of them look nice with a good feel in the hands. As mid-range phones, their design definitely makes them stand out from most rivals. 

Don’t forget to join our giveaway to get a chance to win a Realme 8 for free!

Today at 7:30 PM (local time) in India, Realme will be taking off covers from the Realme 8 series of smartphones. The lineup is expected to include at least two models such as Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. The latter will be arriving as the company’s first smartphone with a 108-megapixel camera. Fe hours head of the launch, TechnikNews’ Nil Ahnresmeier has shared the leaked renders of the European version of the Realme 8 Pro.

Recent leaks have revealed that the Realme 8 Pro will be arriving in colors like Infinite Black, Infinite, and Illuminating Yellow. It may arrive in options like 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage.

However, the new leak reveals that the European edition of the Realme 8 Pro will be available in variants such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM storage. Apart from Infinite Black and Infinite Blue color variants, the European model will be available in Punk Black instead of the yellow model.

The new renders show that the Realme 8 Pro has a punch-hole display on the front with a slightly thick chin. The back panel of the device has a quad-camera system along with an LED flash. Its bottom edge has a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB Type-C port, and an external speaker. The volume rocker and a power key can be found on the right side of the smartphone.

The post Realme 8 Pro renders appear before launch to reveal design in full glory appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme will be launching the Realme 8 series of smartphones on March 24 in India. Yesterday, Tech Spurt YouTube channel released an unboxing video of the Realme 8 Pro. The video did not reveal the specs of the phone but showcased its design from all angles. In addition, it also revealed what is included in the retail box of the Realme 8 Pro. Tipster Debayan Roy has leaked the key specifications of the Realme 8 Pro today.

The tipster claimed that the Realme 8 Pro will be equipped with a 6.4-inch S-AMOLED display that supports a 60Hz refresh rate. The single punch-hole screen is expected to carry support for a Full HD+ resolution.

The Realme 7 Pro was powered by the Snapdragon 720G chipset. It appears that the company will be using the same chip to fuel the Realme 8 Pro. Recently, a leakster revealed that it will come in variants like 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage.

There is no word on the front camera of the Realme 8 Pro. The square-shaped rear camera module of the device may have a 108-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel lens, and a pair of 2-megapixel sensors. The handset will be equipped with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 50W fast charging. In contrast, the Realme 7 Pro offered 65W fast charging.

The handset will come preloaded with Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS. It also features an in-screen fingerprint reader. The device is expected to arrive in hues like Infinite Black, Infinite Blue, and Illuminating Yellow.

While the tipster is confident about the leaked specs of the Realme 8 Pro, it is advisable to digest this report with a grain of salt.

After several leaks, the realme 8 series finally has a launch date. A new video posted on realme India’s official YouTube channel has revealed that the new phones will be unveiled on March 24.

The nearly 2½ minute-long video has Madhav Sheth, the CEO of realme India and Europe, compete in a drift race with a professional race driver. As you would see in the video, “Infinity” is mentioned multiple times, and as we know, the infinity symbol is practically an “8” laying on its sides.

The realme 8 series is expected to have at least two phones – the realme 8 and the realme 8 Pro. However, there is a possibility we may get more, one of which may have support for 5G.

realme already confirmed that the realme 8 Pro will have a 108MP rear camera, and an official video posted by the CEO a few days ago shows one of the models has an in-display fingerprint scanner which means it will have an AMOLED screen. The pro model will also have a 4500mAh battery and support for 65W fast wired charging.

Some of the key specs of the standard model have also been officially revealed. The realme 8 will have a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Fullscreen Display, 64MP Quad AI camera, Helio G95 processor, a 5000mAh battery, and support for 30W Dart Charger.

The realme 8 should be announced in India first before making its way to Europe. The new phones will take on the Redmi Note 10 series, the latest phones from its rival, Redmi/Xiaomi.

The hands-on video shows the rear appearance for a split-second at the start. The ‘Dare to Leap’ branding and a squarish camera island followed by an LED flash can be seen on the backside of the device. During the recently held camera innovation event, Realme had revealed the rear design of the Realme 8 Pro. It had also confirmed that the handset flaunts a Samsung ISOCELL HM2 108-megapixel main camera.

Rumors are rife that the upcoming Realme 8 series of smartphones will include two phones such as the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. A fresh leak by tipster Himanshu has revealed the variants and color options of the Realme 8 duo.

According to the tipster, the Realme 8 will be available in two variants such as 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It will be coming in colors like Cyber Silver and Cyber Black.

On other hand, the Realme 8 Pro could be coming in options such as 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It could be available in color variants like Infinite Black, Infinite Blue, and Illuminating Yellow.

The tipster added that Realme may soon confirm the Realme 8 series launch date. He is of the view that the Realme 8 and 8 Pro will break cover by the end of March. He added that these phones will not be available in the 5G version.

Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro specifications (Rumored)

A recent teaser by Realme India and Europe CEO Madhav Sheth suggested that the Realme 8 could be coming with specs like a 60Hz 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, Helio P95 chipset, a 64-megapixel quad-camera system, and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.

Contradictory information reveals that the Realme 8 could be equipped with the Snapdragon 720G chipset. The same leak claims that the Realme 8 Pro could be featuring the Snapdragon 730G SoC.

The Realme 8 Pro is expected to feature a 108-megapixel quad-camera system. It is speculated that the Realme RMX3081 phone that was recently approved by the FCC authority of the U.S. could be the Realme 8 Pro handset. The FCC certification revealed that the RMX3085 has Realme UI 2.0 based Android 11 OS, a 4,500mAh battery, and it supports 65W fast charging.

The post Realme 8, 8 Pro variants and color options, March end launch likely appeared first on Gizmochina.

It is also confirmed that Realme has got the Realme 8 and 8 Pro smartphones in the works. The company already shared a couple of teasers which gave us an idea of what to expect on the Realme 7 series successor. The Realme 8 Pro has now appeared on FCC’s website to shed more light on the device.

According to the FCC listing, the Realme 8 Pro 4G, listed as Realme RMX3081, will arrive with a 4500mAh battery as well as 65W fast charging suppport. Earlier on, Realme CEO Madhav Sheth had hinted that the vanilla Realme 8 will pack a bigger 5000mAh battery with 30W Dart Charge. Although the 8 Pro has a smaller battery, it features faster charging which will ensure you don’t stay out of juice for too long.

The 65W charging support shown on the FCC document is consistent with the specs for the company’s SuperDart chargers. Again, the battery configuration is similar to that of last year’s Realme 7 Pro. If we should rely on that, then the device will charge from zero to full charge in just 34 minutes while just 10 minutes charging will deliver up to 43% battery capacity.

Realme recently coonfirmed the camera specification of the Reame 8 Pro 4G and the main highlight is the 108MP Samsung HM2 1/1.52″ primary sensor from last year which will be onboard. The sensor will have support for 9-in-1 pixel binning and ISOCELL Plus. The camera is positioned to output superb images that have well-balanced overall exposure with vivid colors and sharp details in both bright and dark conditions thanks to a new Smart-ISO feature.

The smartphone is also expected to run Realme UI 2.0 out of the box which is based on Android 11 OS. It is also rumoured that the 8 Pro 4G will be powered by a Snapdragon 730G.

We still don’ know when Realme will officially unveil the 8-seires. However, we expect an announcement to that effect soon.

realme recently confirmed that it would use Samsung’s 108MP HM2 camera sensor on the upcoming realme 8 Pro. While the company is yet to reveal a launch date for the realme 8 series, it has gone forward to reveal the entire specs of the non-Pro realme 8.

As you can see in the image below, the CEO of realme India & Europe, Madhav Sheth has shared an image on Twitter. In that, we can see the rear design of the realme 8 Pro once again. However, at the back of this are two boxes that should be the final retail packaging of the realme 8.

Anyway, the box reveals that the realme 8 will feature a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED FullScreen display. This is a clear jump from the predecessor, realme 7’s had a 90Hz IPS LCD panel. Also, there is a possibility that the company might limit the refresh rate to 60Hz on the realme 8.

The company’s box packaging also talks about the device being super slim & light but we will have to wait and see if the thickness is less than realme 7’s 9.4mm. Moving on, the box reveals that realme 8 will have the same MediaTek Helio G95 chipset as its predecessor.

That said, the realme 8 will feature an AI quad-camera with 64MP as the main lens. We are yet to know the auxiliary camera sensors but they could be the same as the predecessor. Other specs include a 5,000mAh battery with 30W Dart Charging.

We can also spot the Android logo beneath the box packaging however, we aren’t sure of the OS version yet. Let’s just hope that the realme 8 series finally debuts with Android 11 out of the box.

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.

The post Realme 8 4G and 8 Pro 4G tipped to feature Qualcomm chipsets appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme today held the 2021 Realme Camera Innovation event and one of the big news released during the event is that the Realme 8 Pro will debut with a 108MP Samsung HM2 1/1.52″ primary sensor from last year. The sensor will have support for 9-in-1 pixel binning and ISOCELL Plus. The camera is positioned to output superb images that have well-balanced overall exposure with vivid colors and sharp details in both bright and dark conditions thanks to a new Smart-ISO feature.

The company also disclosed that the Realme 8 Pro’s camera will come with an In-sensor Zoom activated by the 3x mode. This feature can only use the 12MP sensor mapped with the zoomed part to generate an image. The camera will also bring a faster imaging process as a result of the smaller size of the 12MP photo. This will enable the device to capture eight 12MP photos in a row. The eight photos will then be inputted into the clarity enhancement algorithm which will then result in an increase in image clarity.

Realme also touts the Realme 8 Pro camera to arrive as the world’s first to bring Starry Time-lapse Video and tilt-shift time-lapse video on its smartphone. Starry time-lapse videos are achieved by shooting multiple clips via professional cameras and then synthesizing and combining these clips by a computer through video editing software.

Realme says it takes 480 seconds or 4 minutes to shoot 30 photos and then to generate one starry photo or a 30 fps time-lapse video. This means the time-lapse mode can show the perpetual changing universes at 480 times faster speed.

On the other hand, tilt-shift photography is achieved with the help of expensive tilt-shift lenses, which makes only a part of the photo appear clear and keeps all other parts out of focus to create a sense of a miniature world. The realme 8 series will be capable of capturing tilt-shift photos as well as 10x faster tilt-shift time-lapse videos with the help of realme’s new tilt-shift photography algorithm.

Finally, Realme tips the 8 series to arrive with three iconic filters – Neon Portrait, Dynamic Bokeh Portrait, and AI Color Portrait.

The company is yet to announce the launch date but the Realme 8 series should arrive in India either later this month or early next month.

The Realme 8 series might be launching in India very soon. The company had recently shared a teaser image on Twitter, hinting at its 108 megapixel camera, and now, the device was recently spotted in the hand’s of the company’s brand ambassador Salman Khan.

According to a 91Mobiles report, an unknown smartphone was spotted being used by the Bollywood actor. Previously, the Indian icon had also promoted the Realme 6 and 7 series as well in the past. So, it is likely that the Chinese tech giant approached him again for its latest series. As per the report, the device in Salman Khan’s hand is likely to be the Realme 8 Pro, which features a unique camera module on the rear.

Looking at the image, we can observe that the upcoming device will feature a shiny and premium finish on the rear. The back panel features a blue color finish along with a quad camera setup as well. At the moment, the finer details of the series are still unknown. The 7 Pro that was launched previously arrived with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, along with 65W fast charging, a Super AMOLED panel with a high refresh rate as well.

Hence, we can expect similar upper mid range specifications from the upcoming lineup. Currently, only the 108 megapixel primary rear lens is confirmed, however, other key specifications are still at large. However, it was previously reported that the Realme 8 might feature the MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G chipset. Unfortunately, this still is an unconfirmed so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.
