Product details

The Realme 8 Pro offers top-notch performance, a strong battery, a flexible camera setup, and a very good selection of interfaces. Its Snapdragon 720G eight-core processor with Adreno graphics unit and 8 GB of RAM deliver solid performance to keep even the most demanding multimedia apps and mobile games running smoothly. These are shown to their best advantage on the almost borderless Super AMOLED display in impressive colors and details. A strong 4500 mAh battery gives the phone plenty of endurance for long days. And if it does run low, the 50W fast charge function takes it from 0 to 100% in just 47 minutes. Forget about annoying PIN entries and simply log in via fingerprint scanner.

The Realme 8 Pro is a mid-range smartphone that convinces in the test with its great battery and a processor that also has enough power for gaming. The OLED display has a high maximum brightness and the quad camera takes great photos in daylight. The weaknesses of the overall good Realme 8 Pro are photos in low light and the partly disappointing features, which lack 5G and IP certification, for example.
