Editorial report

Realme 8 5G technical sheet

The Realme 8 5G suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a sharp display and a high-capacity battery; the trade-off for photography is that its rear camera has no optical image stabilization. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of expandable storage. The phone is also sold in configurations up to 8 GB / 128 GB.

Its 6.5″ display has a resolution of 1080 × 2400 px and a pixel density of 405 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 90 Hz refresh rate is typical for its time. The 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time and supports 18 W fast charging.

Connectivity stands better than on most phones of its time, with 5G, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi and dual SIM. The 48 MP rear camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps; the lack of optical image stabilization is a specific limitation for buyers who want that feature. It runs Android 11 and includes Google services.

Its overall NeoScore is 5.0, typical of phones launched around the same time. The Realme 8 5G is suited to buyers who prioritize 5G, a high-density display and a large-capacity battery, and can do without optical image stabilization in the camera.
