I've bought this on 4th May and till now got 2 updates. I really like the sAmoled display on it. The performance is very smooth and the battery backup is great considering the power-hungry Mediatek G95.
Does it support Carrier Aggregate 4G+ ?
@@Faisal-ou2lb unfortunately no
@@hossain2827 any possibility for 4G+ from update ?
@@Faisal-ou2lb no, if they wanted to provide they would have been given out of the box not via OTA
@@hossain2827 hi!😊 can I ask? Is the camera good?especially on the selfie cam😊
Using it almost 2 yrs still a beast
Brilliant specs for the price point, the 5000mAh battery and Helio G95 make such a good combo for performance
Why you guys hate the "dare to leap" sign on the backside ? Who could read that ? In this age everyone is using some protection of the smartphone. In my case i use plastic case on the back for all of my phones and nobody can see a) original color of the phone or b) brand of the phone or c) anything written on the phone.
Was waiting for the review! Thanks, Will.
In Poland Realme recently started to sell 8 and 8 Pro without "Dare to Leap" sign on the back.
👀
nice they should have done that from the beginning!
that's some good news, they should have just put it on the back cover or something
it looks really ugly on the phone specially when it's this big
And they are not doing it elsewhere? Hypocrites. F you Realme.
u are lucky to have those ... coz that slogan "dare to leap" is really annoying
My most favourite smartphone news it's Gsmarena, great site, hope you all success, i watch you every day for news, reviews you are the best in your field, great job Gsmarena.
I got mine last week mas a secondary phone it's great for 182 euros 128gb
2 You have months, it is an excellent device!
It's even waterproof, but obviously because of the perfectness of the gluing.
I don't have ip protection, right?
So I recommend this phone to everyone.
How abour the volume of the speaker when it comes to Video calls? Is it loud ?
'cuz my sister's realme 2, the speaker on VCs is so low
7:02 How is its video stabilization now? is it the same or software update has fixed it? Please i am planning to buy now. i want to know?
GSMARENA best Channel on CZcams. Luv uo guys!! 😊 👍🏼
I updated the software since it notified alreay and upgraded to android 11 2.0,however i was wondering about the camera effects that was lost. 3 filters were gone which was one of the reasons why i bought this😩
can you use the in-display fingerprint without pressing the power button? and how is the phone performing now?
which one? and its ok now?
Amazing Voice
ikr
Wtf
Sus
Only thing i dislike in this phone is Dare to leap branding
Really good phone 👌
127 hours gsma battery test is good.
Been using the realme 8 since December 28 and it's been a very nice experience so far. Got me 7 and a half hours of real-world usage outside the house, which I think is very good, especially the fact it has a power-hungry Helio G95. I managed to run my games (wild rift and pokemon unite) at high settings for at least 2 hours without any frame drops. I love the look and feel of realme UI although I wish it had better customization, especially the lack of options in AOD. The camera experience is decent on the stock camera app if you don't mind the saturated look but giving it GCam with HDR Enhanced definitely improved my camera experience, I wouldn't get this for video though, its usable but not something you should be using if you do a lot of videos.
I don't like the "dare to leap" slogan so I hid it with a vinyl skin from one of our local shops here and I find holding the phone without a case a bit slippery with my sweaty hands so I bought a case from nillkin, its a hard case but has a grippy material, wider surface area from the sides and it's thin, highly recommended if you plan to get this phone. What do I wish to get though it having better haptics (it blows my mind that the cheaper redmi note 10 has much nicer haptics than the realme 8) Overall, quite a solid experience but not a first choice when buying a phone under this price range. You can get a Redmi Note 10 for the price but if you like an alternative and you don't like MIUI, this is quite a strong contender.
Hello where is finger print located
@@chebiwotbetty2725 under the display
I've been using this phone since December too.. everything is quite satisfying for me except for the developers community, this phone doesn't have a custom ROM, which is really frustrating for someone who loves customization and playing with software
can i ask if it's not over heating or something?ive heard rumors that it won't be long till it lagg,im in the middle of crisis rn, I don't want to regret buying it that's why im gathering info,cos im gonna buy it this week,if u don't recommend realme 8 with heavy games such as mlbb,cod,roblox etc. please suggest phone with the same price range which is 12,990 php need fast response!🙂
@@jayronsilerio2075 using for 6 months, haven't experienced any kind of overheating issues. never seen any kind of lag till now
I have realme 8 4/64 and it won't open option for expanding ram memory. Do any have advice how to expand virtual ram?
phone suggestions with same price of realme 8 which is 12,990 php and good for heavy games such as mobile legends,COD,roblox etc.
fast response needed,im going to buy this week i dont want to regret my decision 😢
Gave my dad this phone, so far he's happy
Still tho, hope they change the chipset of the pro version next time. I'd be fine sacrificing the 100 something camera.

Why can't I get into the mobile banking for this device?
Nice Video

Buddy of mine owns a Realme 7. It looks the same to me.

@@itzme7220 You so cute baby ☺☺☺
Typing from realme 8 , it's great ngl
Would you rather go with this model or redmi note 10 ?!
for gaming realme 8, for a good camera redmi note 10 pro
This is better if you talk about performance cause of the GPU this is a top notch phone but the CPU uses more battery cause of the high speed CPU cores
Performance for gaming its good or not?
Its perfect for Games

Dude Its processor is 12nm 3rd Class it'll heat up like a oven & drain your battery in no time. Go for newr 7nm Dimensity processors which r also made by Mediatek

Anyways I need a phone which is good for gaming and has Amoled display for watching anime and all that 😂
Thought this phone would be good tho 😂
@@ShadyVibes9844 😊
U are in good hands...
I'm gonna get one 😉
Broo it heats a lot,like almost 47,is it normal?
Normal bro, But I recommend you if you charged it Put it in a cold place like Charge it with a fan so it won't over heat
Just bought this today. Opt with this one since I'm not a gamer and I only use this for emails, socmed, messaging. I suggest getting redmi note 10 pro/poco if you guys are really into gaming cuz I'm telling you you'll hate and be bitter with this phone. 🤣
realme 8 is better then note 10 pro in games
the sd720 being old choice
the g95 is good for normal gaming (1h_3h)

The realme 8 is really good for gaming since it has a huge battery and a powerful mediatek helio chipset
Are you sure? I'm trying to buy another smartphone since my S8 is outdated and ran out of memory, although i don't wanna spend way too much and i discovered the redmi 8 and the redmi 7 pro and honestly i don't know which one should i choose between these 2.

Good phone
It’s between this and Poco X3. 60hz Amoled vs 120hz ips
Not the same range of $
@@johnt.5646 Roughly the same where I'm from. 260 euro for realme 8 with 6gb ram and 128gb, (or 180 euro for 4gb ram and 64gb)
While poco x3 with 6gb and 128gb costs 200 euro.
Ended up buying the poco x3. I'm satisfied overall but gotta say I'm not wowed by the 120hz display. Feels no different than a 60hz display to me.
@@BenRangel Oh sorry, it seems that price between countries is very different. Here 190€ for realme 8 6/128 but POCO X3 costs 260+€
It only costs 150$ on technopolis im buying it🎉
Watching this video with realme X2! 😬😁
The splash proof seals threw it off honestly and having no 90HZ, most games right now are going to have a max of 120HZ like Wild Rift. And Riot games did say Valorant might come to Mobile as well, which mostly support 120HZ as well so it's a bit of a downgrade since a lot of game developers are trying to make their game 90HZ-120HZ compatible.
if you need more than 60 FPS in any game you need to work on your skills. Especially if we are talking about mobile games.....
Man I have realme X2 Pro. Bought it mostly because of beastly Snapdragon 855+ and Super AMOLED 90Hz screen, with a bit weaker cameras and 4000mAh Li-Poly it's a decent phone if u like me aim for maximum performance under 500€. And as much as I was amazed by Super AMOLED, the 90Hz became useless and unnecessary. Games I play WoT/WoWs blitz, PUBG mobile, CoN WW3, Clash Royale, RTHD - none of those supports more than 60fps and streaming apps (Netflix, Prime video) have mostly 25fps movies so... 90Hz is not necessary, 120Hz is absolute madness, especially if someone chooses obsolete IPS display with 120Hz over supreme AMOLED/sAMOLED with 60/90Hz...
Okay
torn bet this or samsung a32
Realme 8 or Realme 8 Pro???????
That's like saying "normal or better??". The answer is obvious

Wish realme 8 had a much more big display
I wanted a smaller display tho 🙂

The chin bothered me🙄
It has no Dolby Atmos support 😑
Why are most Android phones so huge and ugly?
In your opinion, bcz it's not only one player in Android game, so there's a lot to compare, while on in iOS side, it's only Apple is in the game, so its more fair to compare, brand to brand instead of looking at the OS
Same as Redmi note 10S but significantly expensive
On my country the realme 8 is cheaper then the note 10 s 😂😂😂😂
