The realme 8 5G is a powerhouse with an exciting look. The MediaTek Dimensity 700 brings fast 5G connectivity and offers plenty of performance while being energy-efficient. This great balance between power and battery life is complemented by a Mali G57 GPU and 6 GB of DDR4x RAM, all supported by a large 5000 mAh battery. And if this powerhouse runs out of energy after a long day, it can be quickly recharged thanks to the 18W charger. Capturing outstanding images with the realme 8 5G is effortless: no matter where you are, the AI-supported quad-camera delivers great shots with its 48 MP main camera, 2 MP macro lens, and 2 MP portrait lens for stunning portrait effects. Plus, with HDR technology, colors always look natural. The 16-megapixel wide-angle lens on the front ensures that all your friends fit into a group selfie. You'll also be impressed by the 6.5-inch FHD+ display of the realme 8 5G. With an 83.9% screen-to-body ratio, slim bezels, and just a hole-punch for the front camera, the screen offers an absolutely immersive experience, whether you're watching videos, playing games, or editing photos. Additionally, the 128 GB internal storage can be expanded via a MicroSD card, so you'll never run out of space for those photos, videos, apps, and music.
