Realme unveiled the Realme 8 and 8 Pro in March. We already reviewed the Pro model, and now we have the vanilla 8 in Cyber Silver color with us for the full review.
The Realme 8 looks similar to the Pro variant - it's built around a 6.4" FullHD+ AMOLED screen with a punch hole in the upper-left corner for the 16MP selfie camera and a fingerprint reader underneath for password-less unlocking, which surprisingly performs better than the 8 Pro's.

Like the 8 Pro, the vanilla 8's rear panel, which is prone to fingerprint smudges, houses a quad camera system in the top-left corner. However, the primary camera now uses a 64MP sensor while retaining the rest of the units.
There's also this big "Dare To Leap" text on the back cover, but it's now placed on a vertical stripe, which like the camera plate, reflects rainbow colors at different angles.

Under the hood, the Realme 8 has a Helio G95 SoC and runs Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 out of the box. The smartphone is a gram heavier than the Pro variant but is 0.1mm thinner despite packing a 5000 mAh bigger battery.
The sleek form factor of the Realme 8 makes it easier to hold, and Realme has done a nice job keeping its profile slim. We wouldn't have guessed it has a 5,000 mAh battery by its slimness.
The yellow-colored retail box of the Realme 8 includes the usual paperwork, SIM card ejector tool, protective case, a USB-C cable, and a 30W adapter, which is advertised to charge the phone from flat to 100% in 65 minutes. We'll obviously test that claim in our full review along with the rest of the Realme 8's features, so stick around.
Finally someone who understood my comment, if you can't deliver a fast performance, at least give us a stable one, but with miui you get neither, of course I'd love to see miui back to it's glory, they simply should stop trying to mimi...
Real me services very bad and no proper way answer. 11 may purchased and camera not working but still no replacement and no solution
