realme 8 5G

Mid-range phones carry the Indian market, and the realme 8 5G shows why. Realme packs genuinely premium touches into a price that doesn't need a second thought.

Display & Design

A 6.8 inch IPS LCD at 120 Hz anchors the front — crisp for text, punchy for video, and quick enough that the interface feels a step faster than it is. At 201 g it stays comfortable for long sessions.

Performance

Performance comes from the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 paired with 8 GB RAM on Android 15. Day-to-day it means instant app switching and no anxiety about background refreshes killing your music. The 128 GB (expandable) of storage swallows years of photos and apps.

Cameras

Photography rests on a 50 MP + 2 MP dual system that punches at or above its price: reliable HDR, quick focus and shareable results straight off the sensor. A 8 MP front camera and 1080p@60fps video recording complete the kit.

Battery & Connectivity

The 5500 mAh battery is the quiet hero here, comfortably clearing a heavy day, and 25W wired fast charging means a coffee-break top-up adds hours. Connectivity covers 5G, 4G LTE, VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C — nothing proprietary, nothing missing.

Should you buy the realme 8 5G?

Bottom line: the realme 8 5G does what it promises at ₹139, and does most of it with polish. Spread the cost and it's roughly ₹7/month on indicative EMI plans — check current bank offers, processing fees and tenure options for exact terms.
