Realme 8 Review | Trusted Reviews

The Realme 8 offers a competent smartphone package for anyone looking to spend less than £200. In skipping 5G, you get a vibrant FHD+ AMOLED.

Vibrant AMOLED display ; Decent gaming performance ; Excellent battery life

Display only 60Hz ; Camera has focusing issues in low light ; Glitchy software

Realme 8 review

The Realme 8 has a good screen, camera, battery life and performance, but is held back by a divisive design.

Sharp display Good gaming performance Good cameras

Look is a bit divisive No 5G support Feels a bit cheap

The Realme 8 has a look that won't appeal to everyone, but under the hood there’s some quality performance for the price, in terms of the power, screen, battery and cameras. It's just a shame there's no 5G.

Realme 8 review

The Realme 8 isn't an especially exciting phone, but a solid, well-balanced feature set make it one of the better budget buys in 2021.

Thin & light ; Solid specs ; Reliable main camera

No 5G ; Only 60Hz refresh rate ; Giant slogan on the back

The Realme 8 offers a welcome balance of features that should suit most users, making it the jack-of-all-trades of budget phones.

Realme 8 review

Realme lately has been refreshing its device lineup in quite unusual ways. Instead of striving for straight year-over-year upgrades to the same general...

Sharp 1080p screen, small notch. HDR10 and HLG support.

Over the top back design, prone to smudges.

None of these deficiencies is a deal-breaker in any way. The Realme 8 is a great little phone, and with some better-targeted pricing, it can quickly turn its fortunes around. At the current starting price of 200 euros, we find it harder to recommend.

Realme 8 Review: Not Enough of a Change

A slimmer and lighter Realme 7. What could possibly go wrong?

Slim and light ; Excellent battery life ; Vivid AMOLED display ; Smooth performance

Bloatware still present ; Strictly average camera performance ; Plastic back scratches easily; fingerprint magnet ; Questionable value for money

After spending a week with the Realme 8, it's safe to conclude that it's nothing more than a

realme 8 Review

realme has launched its new midrange smartphones in India in its realme 8 Series, the two new smartphones - the realme8 and the realme 8 Pro are the

Super AMOLED Display ; Plenty of RAM & Storage (8 GB + 128 GB) ; 30W Fast Charging Support ; Slim Design ; Good 64 MP Camera ; Dedicated microSD Card Slot

A 90 Hz Refresh Rate Would Be A Great Addition

The realme 8 isn’t a game changer but has enough traits to draw attention. From its Super AMOLED display, Android 11 out-of-the-box, 30W fast charging, plenty of storage, to its 64 MP quad cameras, it can be a good pick under ₹15,000 as far as if you...

Realme 8 Review: Worthy Successor With A Super AMOLED Display

The Realme 8 also comes as a feature-rich smartphone by the company with a lower asking price. But, its more of a mixed bag than a worthy upgrade. The company hasn't made any major changes in the Realme 7's and the Realme 8's hardware.

High-resolution Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution ; 64MP quad-cameras for imaging ; 30W fast charging supported 5,000 mAh battery

Game-centric Snapdragon 720G chipset comes void of 5G network connectivity ; FHD+ resolution but standard 60Hz refresh rate

We already have been highlighting how Realme is taking the Indian market by storm with its affordable yet power-packed smartphones. The brand has strengthened its mid-range portfolio recently with cheap 5G smartphones.
