This week, smartphone brand Realme has finally announced an alpha open beta, early access and open beta realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 programme for its Realme 8, Realme C35 and Realme 9i smartphones respectively. 

These software early previews serve to allow Realme’s operating developers and third-party developers to iron out any software bugs and glitches, as well as optimise their software for users of the 3 aforementioned Realme devices above. In addition, users can also get an early taste of Android 12 before Realme officially launches the Android 12 stable update to these devices.

To join the early access/beta builds, you can head over to the links below and follow the instructions to ensure that your data is properly saved/backed up before you apply for the programme.

Realme also recommends applicants to back up their personal data before proceeding with the programme to prevent any unnecessary data loss should any unfortunate bugs or glitches happen during the early access programme.

The company also notes that due to unpredictable factors such as network communication and strategy adjustment, it is not possible to guarantee that every applicant will receive the update. In case the update is not received, Realme suggests users to patiently wait for the official stable release.

Realme launched the Realme 8 and 8i last year with Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 OS. Fast forward to March 2022 and both phones are getting the new Android 12 OS. However, the Realme 8i’s early access for the version is live, while the Realme 8 is receiving a stable update.

Realme has started rolling out the Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 for the Realme 8 devices in India. The firmware version is RMX3085_11.A.24/ RMX3085_11.A.26. The update is currently being rolled out in a staged manner, meaning it will be randomly available to any Realme 8. That being said, your phone might receive it now, while someone else’s model may get it later.

If you haven’t received any update notification, head to the Settings page, followed by the Software update tab, and look for the update. The update is intended to fix some bugs and improved the system’s fluency. Since users will go from Realme UI 2.0 to Realme UI 3.0, you’ll notice slight changes in the UI. Also, there are some performance improvements. You can read here about all the changes and improvements that the update brings.

Other than the Realme 8, the Realme 8i users can now apply for early access. By applying for early access, users can experience the Realme UI 3.0 features before the software goes public for other Realme 8i users. The users can apply by going to Settings > Software Update > Trail versions > Early Access. Here, you can put in all the details and apply for the early access program. Post that, you can experiment with the new UI and look out for any possible improvements or bugs.

The post Realme 8 gets stable Android 12, Realme 8i early access program begins appeared first on Gizmochina.

The realme 8 has become the latest smartphone from the brand to join the realme UI 3.0 Early Access program. In simpler words, users of the handsets can enroll themselves to try Android 12 beta. The company vaguely mentioned that the device will get access to beta software in Q1 2022. We never thought it would receive in January itself.

According to the official announcement post on realme Community, the Realme UI 3.0 Early Access registrations for Realme 8 kicked off on January 19. The brand says that it will be accepting applications in batches and it has only allocated limited seats.

Hence, we urge the interested users to apply for the initiative as soon as possible. In order to do it, the smartphone should be on firmware RMX3085_11.A.24. If yes, then navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Trial Version > Apply Now, submit details, and finish the quiz.

Applicants who get selected will receive the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 beta build via OTA. Those who don’t can try their luck again whenever the registrations re-open

As far as the stable release is concerned, we have no idea about it since Realme does not provide a timeline like its sister brand OPPO.

Transsion is a brand present in a few regions only, but it makes amazing phones. One of them is the Tecno Camon 17 Pro, one of the best and most original phones in its price range. Is Tecno able to compete with other mainstream smartphone manufacturers? We think yes if we talk about budget phones like the Camon 17 Pro. And in order to demonstrate it, we decided to publish a specs comparison between two best-buys of the actual market. When it comes to budget phones, Realme and POCO are kings. That is why we chose the Realme 8 and the POCO M3 Pro 5G for this comparison.

Tecno Camon 17 Pro vs Realme 8 vs Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G

Design

My favorite design in this trio is the one of the Realme 8, not only for the look but also because it has a thinner and lighter body, with a thickness of just 8 mm and a weight of 177 grams. Despite that, it has the same battery capacity as the Tecno Camon 17 Pro and the POCO M3 Pro 5G, and it is even more compact thanks to its smaller display, so it is the best for one-handed users. Last but not least, it has an in-display fingerprint reader.

Display

If you need the best display, go for the Realme 8 without thinking twice. Only the Realme 8 is equipped with an AMOLED display, that is why it is able to show more brilliant colors and deep blacks. Further, as said above, it has an in-display fingerprint reader making the authentication more comfortable. And it is not all, as the Realme 8 comes with the HDR10 certification improving the image quality on the streaming platforms and it has a very high peak brightness (it goes up to 1000 nits). Tecno Camon 17 Pro has a very wide display, but it is an IPS panel so the image quality is inferior. The POCO M3 Pro 5G sits in the middle with its 6.5-inch display, but still an IPS panel.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware belongs to the POCO M3 Pro 5G. First of all, it is the only one supporting the 5G connectivity. Further, it has a processor built at 7 nm, a better production process compared to the 12 nm of the Helio G95. Last but not least, the Dimensity 700 is stronger than the Helio G95. On the other hand, you can get more RAM with the Tecno Camon 17 Pro: up to 8 GB. But it lacks 5G support and it has an inferior chipset, especially in terms of power management. All the phones run Android 11.

Camera

The most advanced rear cameras come with Tecno Camon 17 Pro and Realme 8. They have a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a pair of 2 MP cameras for macros and depth calculation. The Tecno Camon 17 Pro adds a much better 48 MP front camera including dual LED flash.

Battery

The battery capacity is the same for each device, but the Realme 8 should provide a longer battery life because of its AMOLED display. Further, it comes with a faster 30W charging technology.

Tecno Camon 17 Pro vs Realme 8 vs Xiaomi POCO M3 Pro 5G: Price

Tecno Camon 17 Pro costs Rs. 16,999 / $233, Realme 8 starts from the same price, and POCO M3 Pro starts from Rs. 14,499 / $200. POCO M3 Pro 5G has a higher value for money, but Realme 8 wins the comparison due to its AMOLED display. However, if you do not mind about it, you could find Tecno Camon 17 Pro better due to its amazing front camera.

Starting from today (30th August 2021), Realme has officially raised the prices for a dozen smartphone models in India. The price hike arrives as other brands also raise their offerings’ price tags in the region due to component shortages.

The news was first shared by known tipster Abhishek Yadav on Twitter. In the Twitter thread, he shared the new prices of a number of smartphones along with the total rise in cost as well. The list of smartphones includes multiple C series of smartphones along with the Realme 8 lineup. Taking a look at the C series pricing first:

• C11 – 2021 model with 2+32GB now costs ₹7,299 ($100), price hike of ₹300
  
• C11 – 2021 model with 4+64GB now costs ₹8,799 ($120), price hike of ₹300
• C21 – 3+32GB now costs ₹8,999 ($123), price hike of ₹500
• C21 – 4+64GB now costs ₹9,999 ($136), price hike of ₹500
• C25s – G85 4+64GB now costs ₹10,999 ($150), price hike of ₹500
• C25s – G85 4+128GB now costs ₹11999 ($164), price hike of ₹500

Arriving at the Realme 8 lineup, the 4G variant with 6+128GB is now priced at ₹16,999 ($232), marking increase of ₹1,000. This hike in price is consistent with the entire lineup as the 4G variant with 8+128GB also now costs ₹17,999 ($245). Its 5G variant with 4+64GB now goes for ₹15,499 ($211) . Similarly, the 5G variant with 4+128GB and 8+128GB models now cost ₹16,499 ($225) and ₹18,499 ($252) respectively as well.

Notably, this isn’t the first time the brand hiked the pricing in India. For those unaware, the rise of prices arrives due to a shortage of components or rise in costs of certain parts. Other brands like Redmi, Micromax, Samsung and others, have also raised the prices of their smartphone offerings due to this ongoing issue.

The new firmware update carries the version number RMX3085_11.A.19. It brings 2GB of Dynamic RAM Expansion support. For those who are unaware, the feature uses some space of the internal storage and uses it as virtual RAM. It is quite helpful for users with less RAM out of the box.

Apart from this feature, the update brings bug fixes and performance improvements. It also brings the new July 2021 Android security patch.

Realme 8 5G Specifications 

The Realme 8 5G has a 6.5-inch LCD display with an FHD+ resolution. It has a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 600 nits. It has a 16-megapixel camera at the front for selfies. At the rear, it boasts a triple camera system with 48-megapixel primary lens, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and lastly a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor.

Realme has three models of the Realme 8 in the Indian market – the Realme 8, Realme 8 Pro, and Realme 8 5G. Now, the Chinese smartphone giant is touted to launch two more 8-series phones in the country dubbed Realme 8i and Realme 8s. Today, a popular tipster Mukul Sharma tipped the arrival of these phones.

The tipster stated, “8, 8i, 8s”, hinting at the upcoming Realme 8-series phones. While the Realme 8 is already available, the Realme 8i and 8s are the phones expected to arrive in the coming weeks.

Adding to this leak, a previous TENAA certification about a Realme phone with model number RMX2205 surfaced online. Since the device is still unknown, it is believed to be either the Realme 8i or Realme 8s smartphone.

Moreover, a publication claimed that the Realme 8i passed a Columbian certification but it has the model number RMX3151. The same device also visited other certifications including TKDN, IMEI, and EEC hinting that its launch is in the pipeline.

Regarding the specs, the RMX2205 appeared on TENAA earlier. It seems to have a raging design with its ‘DARE TO LEAP’ branding at the back. The smartphone is expected to be a 5G handset with a 6.43-inch AMOLED display. It is said to be a dual-SIM phone with a 4,400mAh battery.

On the other hand, the RMX3151 phone’s listings didn’t reveal anything other than its presence.

With multiple certifications incoming, the launch of both of these phones seems to be in the pipeline. We can expect the company to break the silence soon.

Xiaomi, Realme, and Samsung brought AMOLED displays on very affordable phones in 2021. After Xiaomi came up with the budget Redmi Note 10, Realme and Samsung followed with the Realme 8 and the Samsung Galaxy M32. In the global market, you need less than €200 to purchase such phones and it is a great goal for those who want to save money. But do you also get a great specs sheet with these devices? And which one is the best? We will try to answer these questions in this specs comparison between Redmi Note 10, Realme 8, and Samsung Galaxy M32.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 vs Realme 8 vs Samsung Galaxy M32

Design

The design of the Samsung Galaxy M32 is uglier compared to the Redmi Note 10 and the Realme 8. Instead of those cool punch-hole displays, it still comes with a waterdrop notch, also known as the Infinity-U display. Further, the phone is thicker and heavier than its two rivals because it packs a way bigger battery. The Realme 8 is the most compact, the thinnest, and the most lightweight phone of the trio, but on the other hand, the Redmi Note 10 has the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.

Display

The most interesting display belongs to Realme 8. Despite it does not come with a high refresh rate, it has a great AMOLED panel with the HDR10 certification which can guarantee bright colors and rich image quality even on streaming platforms. Further, it has a high 1000 nits peak brightness. Last but not least, it is the only one to come with an in-display fingerprint reader. However, the Samsung Galaxy M32 remains very interesting because its AMOLED display has a 90 Hz refresh rate. The Redmi Note 10 is definitely less impressive.

Hardware/Software

With its powerful Helio G95 mobile platform, Realme 8 wins the hardware comparison. Besides having the most powerful chipset, it also comes with the strongest memory configuration as it offers up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Right after, we got the Redmi Note 10 with a Snapdragon 678 chipset and up to 6 GB of RAM, as well as up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. The phones all run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

Noone of these devices is a camera phone, but Redmi Note 10 is the most disappointing as it is equipped with an inferior 48 MP main camera. With the Realme 8 and Samsung Galaxy M32, you get better 64 MP cameras and the Samsung Galaxy M32 wins the comparison because it also provides a better selfie camera with a 20 MP resolution.

Battery

Samsung Galaxy M32 is the king of battery life because it packs a bigger 6000 mAh battery. The Redmi Note 10 wins the fast charging comparison with a power of 33W.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 vs Realme 8 vs Samsung Galaxy M32: Price

Redmi Note 10 and Realme 8 are priced less than €200/$240 globally, while you need a bit more than €200/$240 to purchase the Samsung Galaxy M32. The Realme 8 wins this comparison unless the battery life isn’t your main concern (in that case you should go for Galaxy M32). On the other hand, the Redmi Note 10 has better street prices.

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.

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 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.

The company has already confirmed that it will be soon announcing a 5G version of the Realme 8 5G. It appears that the smartphone may launch as early as next month as it has bagged approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S.

The Realme RMX3241 was recently seen with Realme 8 5G moniker at Thailand’s NBTC certification. It has also appeared at the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in India. Both certifications did not reveal any information on its specifications. However, the FCC appearance has spilled some of its key details.

The FCC listing reveals that Realme RMX3241 measures 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.5mm and it weighs 185 grams. The phone runs on Realme UI V2.0 and it is powered by a 5,000mAh battery. Some of the connectivity features supported by the handset include Wi-fi 802.11ac, GPS, GLONASS, BDS, NFC, and 5G.

A rear schematic of the Realme 8 5G, which was found in the FCC documents revealed that it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The left edge of the phone features volume up and down buttons.

Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth had said in the past week, “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.” This indicates that the handset may break cover by the end of April. It is speculated that the handset will be priced between Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro that is priced at Rs 14,999 (~$204) and Rs 17,999 (~$285), respectively.

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.

Towards the end of last year, Motorola announced that the first Moto G smartphone with a Snapdragon 800 series processor is coming this year. On Thursday, March 25, the phone will arrive as the Moto G100. The device should be familiar to those who have been following Motorola’s announcements this year as it is a rebadge of the China-exclusive Motorola Edge S, the first flagship killer of 2021. We are excited nonetheless.

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.

The Realme 8 series is slated to go official on March 24 in India. Reports have revealed that the company will be announcing two handsets such as Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro through its next launch event. Ahead of the launch, the Realme 8 has received approval from the National Broadcasting Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) regulatory of Thailand.

The NBTC certification confirms that the Realme handset with RMX3085 will debut as the Realme 8 in Thailand. It has also received approval from other certification platforms like the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), and Indonesia Telecom. Unfortunately, these listings have not revealed any information on the major specs of the Realme 8.

The RMX3085 handset emerged in the records of the Geekbench benchmarking site in February. The listing revealed that it is equipped with the Helio G95 chipset, 8 GB of RAM, and Android 11 OS.

At the beginning of this month, Realme CEO Madhav Sheth shared an image to reveal some of the specifications of an Helio G95 powered smartphone. It appears that Sheth may have revealed the specifications of the Realme 8 handset.

Based on the image shared by Sheth, it can be said that the Realme 8 has a 6.4-inch AMOLED display, an Helio G95 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery with support for 30W rapid charging. For photography, it will arrive with a quad-camera setup with a 64-megapixel main camera. It will come preloaded with Android 11 OS. It could be coming in options like 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It could be available in Cyber Silver and Cyber black colors.

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.

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.

The post Realme 8 Pro appears on FCC with a 4500mAh battery and 65W charging support appeared first on Gizmochina.

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 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.

realme is back in the groove of launching smartphones frequently. The company is teasing realme GT in China while it has already launched budget devices like Narzo 30 Pro 5G in India. Yesterday, at the lndia launch, the company had hinted something with Infinity symbol on a poster. Today, Madhav Sheth has teased it further and it could be the realme 8 series with a 108MP camera.

VP, realme, and CEO of realme India & Europe, Madhav Sheth, in a Tweet has revealed the Quad-Camera setup of an upcoming realme smartphone. While he hasn’t explicitly mentioned it as a smartphone, the ‘#InfiniteLeapWith8’ and ‘108’ certainly suggest that realme 8 could be coming soon.

This is probably to take on the Chinese Giant Redmi that is already building up the hype for the Redmi Note 10 series. He says that he will reveal the breakthrough tomorrow i.e, February 26. Now, if it’s indeed the realme 8, it will be interesting to see how the company will bid it against the likes of rivals like Redmi Note 10.

Recently, a realme device with model number RMX3161 appeared on TENAA. It was thought to be the Narzo 30 Pro 5G but the latter turned out as a rebadged realme Q2. That said, the RMX3161 has a camera layout similar to the one teased by Madhav and could be the realme 8.

Do note that this is just our guess and let’s wait for the official reveal tomorrow. Anyway, you can compare the images below.

At this point in time, the information regarding the realme 8 is very bleak, to say the least. However, vague benchmarks rooting back to November showed info like Dimensity 720 chipset, 8GB RAM, Android 10, and more. However, we wouldn’t put too much emphasis on this for now.

The smartphone will come preloaded with Android 10 OS. In the single-core test, it scored 2874 points and it recorded a score of 8088 in the multi-core test.

The RMX3092 has also bagged approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Probably, this device could be arriving in the markets outside of China as the Realme 8.

Realme did not launch Realme 8 or any of its predecessors in China. There is a possibility that this device could be landing in China as a Q-series or V-series smartphone. It was recently reported that the Realme 8 series could be debuting in January 2021.

A couple of other Realme phones are also expected to debut in the coming weeks. India is expected to receive the Realme X7 series of smartphones in January and there are rumors that the Narzo 30 lineup will also go official in the same month. Yesterday, the Dimensity 800U powered Realme Q21i was spotted at the BIS certification.
