Buzz
Unlike any other year, Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro this year appear almost indistinguishable in terms of appearance. However, the differences primarily stem from the internal configurations of the two devices. So, what makes the Realme 8 Pro stand out from the Realme 8? Let's find out together!
Distinguishing Between Qualcomm and MediaTek Processors
Arguably, the disparity in processing power is the most significant difference between the two devices, with the Realme 8 Pro featuring the Snapdragon 720G and the Realme 8 equipped with the Helio G95.
In theory, the performance gap between the two chips isn't substantial, if not similar. However, in terms of gaming performance, the 12nm MediaTek processor often outshines the 7nm Qualcomm processor.
Nevertheless, in practice, it's widely acknowledged that users tend to favor Snapdragon over Helio G processors. Additionally, Snapdragon chips are generally better received in terms of game and app compatibility.
For the average user, opting for Snapdragon is always a safer bet and more reliable than Helio.
The Trade-off Between Battery Capacity and Charging Speed
Why do I call this a trade-off? It's because both the Realme 8 Pro and Realme 8 have their own advantages.
The Realme 8 Pro boasts a high charging capacity of up to 50 W, while the Realme 8 only offers 30 W. Conversely, the Realme 8 features a larger battery capacity of up to 5,000 mAh compared to the Pro version's 4,500 mAh battery.
In reality, both devices boast impressive charging speeds. Specifically: Realme 8 Pro takes 17 minutes to charge 50%, 47 minutes to fully charge, while Realme 8 takes 26 minutes and 65 minutes respectively.
Considering their price range, both devices currently demonstrate excellent charging times under 10 million VND.
Realme 8 Pro Stands Out with 108 MP Camera
Another standout feature of the duo is that the Realme 8 Pro features a main camera with 108 MP, f/1.9 aperture, phase detection autofocus, a sensor size of 0.7 micrometers, surpassing the 64 MP and 0.8 micrometer sensor on the Realme 8.
With a larger sensor size, Realme 8 Pro captures more detailed photos, albeit with slightly slower processing speeds. Additionally, boasting an impressive pixel count, the Realme 8 Pro features a 3X digital zoom function akin to optical zoom and the ability to shoot Full HD videos at 480fps.
Although the practicality of the 108 MP camera is yet to be fully realized, it serves as a high-marketing feature, attracting user interest.
A Few Other Differences Between the Two Devices
In addition to the aforementioned differences, Realme 8 and 8 Pro also exhibit some minor distinctions. Firstly, there's the color. Realme 8 sports an impressive rainbow silver hue, whereas Realme 8 Pro offers a gentle, refreshing option in galaxy blue.
Just like the Realme 8 Pro, the Realme 8 also comes with NFC support for peripheral connections or convenient contactless payments.
These are the differences between the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. So, with a 1.3 million difference, which device would you choose? Leave your comments below!
