Editorial report

Realme Neo8 technical sheet

The Realme Neo8 suits buyers who want strong hardware, a fast display and a large battery in an Android phone. Its main trade-off is software: it has no Google Services and no direct OS updates. This version also has 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with no memory-card expansion.

The 6.78″ AMOLED display combines 165Hz with 450ppi. Both figures are better than those of most phones of its time, while the 91% usable surface is among the highest. Performance is another clear strength: its AnTuTu result is among the best of its time. For photography, the telephoto camera brings 3.5x optical zoom, also among the highest figures of its time, and the main camera has optical image stabilization.

The 8,000mAh battery and 80W charging are better than those of most phones of the same era. Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and dual SIM. Overall, the Realme Neo8 earns a NeoScore of 8.2. It fits buyers who prioritize display quality, hardware, optical zoom and battery capacity over Google Services, direct updates and expandable storage.
