Realme lately has established itself well in the mid-range segment with its value for money smartphone offerings. That being said, it's numbered lineup has come a long way. Last year, the Chinese manufacturer released the Realme 7 series.

Users hugely applauded the Realme 7 lineup, especially the upper mid-range Realme 7 Pro, which was received well in the market as per market research reports. It came with Snapdragon 720G, an AMOLED display and a capable set of cameras.

We don’t know which SKU will power the Realme 8 Pro 5G. It will likely be a MediaTek Dimensity-branded model. Lastly, we can expect some, if not all, Realme 8 models to support fast charging at 65W. An FCC listing told us that the Realme 8 Pro would pack a 4,500mAh cell, while TENAA told us that the Realme 8 would be powered by a 5,000mAh unit.
