Shortly after their international debut, Realme swiftly introduces its latest mid-range duo, Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro, to the Vietnamese market. Packed with significant improvements over their predecessors, the Realme 8 series smartphones come at a competitive mid-range price point.
Let's explore why investing in the Realme 8 series is a must!
A bold shift in design, emphasizing the message 'DARE TO LEAP'
The key design changes are the most noticeable aspects of the new Realme 8 duo compared to its predecessors, from colors to intricate back panel patterns.
Moving from simple rectangular camera clusters in previous generations, the Realme 8 series now features larger, square-shaped camera modules, giving them a more substantial presence. Notably, the unique and striking color combinations stand out.
The unique patterns on the back panel become even more distinctive with the 'DARE TO LEAP' mirrored emblem, standing out against the matte background, elevating product recognition. Whether it's deemed beautiful or not, the impression is undeniable.
This year, instead of basic colors with light effects, the Realme 8 series offers more personalized and unique color options, especially the outstanding silver rainbow hue.
Furthermore, the screen design undergoes significant changes
Rather than pursuing high refresh rates, with the Realme 8 series, the company prioritizes display quality. Both devices feature Super AMOLED, Full HD+ panels, reaching up to 1000 nits brightness, and a 180 Hz touch sampling rate.
It's quite regrettable that both panels have reduced their high refresh rates, but for basic users, I'd prioritize display quality, brightness, and color over high refresh rates.
This year, Realme has slightly narrowed down the device borders, increasing the screen-to-body ratio to 90.8% compared to 82.7% on its predecessor.
The camera undergoes significant changes, with impressive specifications
Aside from design, it's safe to say that the camera is the most drastically changed aspect of the Realme 8 series compared to previous generations.
The Realme 8 inherits almost all camera specifications from its predecessor, the Realme 7 Pro, with a 64 MP main camera, f/1.8 aperture, PDAF autofocus, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera with f/2.3 aperture and a 119-degree field of view, along with a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP monochrome sensor.
The Realme 8 Pro takes the lead with the most impressive camera setup, featuring a 108 MP main lens with f/1.9 aperture, PDAF autofocus, and EIS electronic image stabilization. With numerous new shooting modes, the image quality holds great promise. The other cameras remain similar to those of the Realme 8.
Realme UI 2.0 software enhances the camera capabilities of the Realme 8 series with additional features such as instant AI processing while capturing photos, fast-forwarding astronomical videos, a night mode that merges 9 pixels into one, and 3X digital zoom.
This will be a camera phone that any brand should be wary of in the mid-range segment.
Many improvements, battery capacity remains the same, but thinner and lighter
The battery capacity of the Realme 8 is 5,000 mAh with 30 W fast charging, allowing 50% charge in 26 minutes and full charge in 65 minutes. Impressively, the Realme 8 Pro features a 4,500 mAh battery with 50 W fast charging, reaching 50% charge in 17 minutes and 100% in 47 minutes.
By optimizing the internal design and component arrangement, the Realme 8 series achieves impressive weight and thickness reductions.
At only 7.99 mm and 177 grams for the Realme 8, and 8.1 mm and 176 grams for the Realme 8 Pro, these dimensions enhance the grip and usability of the Realme 8 series without compromising battery life.
In summary
With this year's Realme 8 series duo, Realme has made more reasonable and balanced adjustments, delivering real usability values rather than overwhelming specifications.
Moreover, in a market gradually saturated with processing power, changes in design and camera will be the right direction.
