Quick Review: Realme 8 5G Evaluation
About the Design:
Overall, the Realme 8 5G features a back panel and frame made of plastic, contributing to a significantly reduced overall weight of the device.
The back design truly stands out with gradient color panels available in two options: celestial blue and ultra black.
In the Realme 8 5G variant, we still find the 'realme' logo positioned at the bottom left corner of the device. Directly above is the protruding camera cluster set within a rectangular module.
The front of the Realme 8 5G is designed with a hole-punch cutout in the top left corner of the screen, which is very trendy and suits the tastes of the majority of users today.
Rounded corners of the Realme 8 5G provide a comfortable grip, minimizing any discomfort.
Regarding the Screen:
The Realme 8 5G features a 6.5-inch screen for a relatively expansive entertainment space. The panel used for the Realme 8 5G is LCD, with Full HD+ resolution. However, this panel is rated lower compared to the Super AMOLED screen technology on the Realme 8 4G variant.
Due to the LCD panel, the chin of the Realme 8 5G is relatively thick, which has left many people less satisfied.
About the Camera Cluster:
The hole-punch section on the screen houses the 16 MP selfie camera, delivering beautiful and pleasing self-portraits.
Looking at the rear camera setup of the Realme 8 5G, many have mistaken this phone for having 4 cameras, but in reality, it only has 3 cameras. Users will experience a main 48 MP camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP portrait camera. The circular area within the main camera cluster integrates AI technology for the camera.
The image and video quality produced by the Realme 8 5G's camera generally stops at a decent level, not yet reaching the level to compete with cameras found in some other devices within the same price range.
Regarding Performance:
The Realme 8 5G is supported by the relatively new Dimensity 700 5G chip from MediaTek. In some comparisons, it has been found to outperform the Snapdragon 720G and Snapdragon 750G, but still falls short compared to the Snapdragon 780 5G.
Regarding Battery and Charging:
The Realme 8 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery, more than sufficient for typical usage needs.
However, the Realme 8 5G is only supported by 18W charging, which is a drawback of this version as there are many competitors in the same segment equipped with much better chargers.
Regarding Connectivity:
As the name suggests, the Realme 8 5G version supports 5G network connectivity. Currently, 5G networks are becoming more widespread in many countries, including Vietnam, which has entered the testing phase. The inclusion of 5G connectivity is a very trendy step and has garnered much user support.
How much does the Realme 8 5G cost?
Currently, Realme 8 5G phones are listed on shelves with a price tag of 7,490,000 VND. There may be slight price differences when comparing between different stores and electronics retailers.
Overall, the Realme 8 5G isn't an outstanding performer in the 7-8 million VND price range, but it will meet the needs of easygoing users.
