Actually considering this costs just 310 $ it's a bit of a cliche but I think it's a really good all-rounder with a surprisingly good camera. So if you are looking for a decent affordable phone, I think the 8 pro is definitely worth a look.
So the big upgrades with the Realme 8 pro is that we're getting the latest real me 2.0 software that's on top of android 11. A much higher quality 108 megapixel camera that's up from 64 on the 7 pro and it's also 0.7 millimeters thinner and 6 grams lighter which doesn't sound like a lot but it's actually pretty majestic. The design is very unique and I'm sure you'll agree. It certainly lives up to the infinite bold design that realme is going for and actually I do like just how thin and light this is considering getting a 6.4 inch screen.
Looking around the phone, it has a small hole punch selfie camera in the top left corner. An in-screen optical fingerprint reader although it also supports face unlocking on the left side is the dual sim and micro sd card slot so you can expand the storage and then on the bottom next to the single speaker we get a three and a half mm headphone jack. One thing I've also noticed having come from the Realme 7 pro the haptic motor is quite a bit better in the 8 pro it just feels a bit more nice.
snapdragon 720g chip, 6.4 inch 60 hz amoled screen, 4500 milliamp battery and the 50 watt charger. So I think the real me 8 pro does have a bit of a fight on his hands to actually stand out.
Let's talk about this camera because I think it is the biggest upgrade here not only because of the higher 108 megapixel resolution but it's also using this new and bigger Samsung HM2 iso cell sensor. So you're getting a quad camera setup with the main lens ultra wide with a 119 degree field of view. We don't get a telephoto lens but you can zoom in and actually it stitches together multiple 12 megapixel shots giving you a pretty good quality three times zoom. It's not quite an optical zoom but it's definitely better than digital. There is also a macro lens for close-up shots and finally we're getting a black and white lens, which not only gives you higher quality black and white filters but it actually helps the main camera to capture more light to improve the quality of photos.
Still a lot to play with and around the front we have a 16 megapixel selfie camera which does a pretty good job and actually surprisingly for this budget you will get a night mode with the selfie camera. Video tops out at 4k with the rear camera although it's still not stabilized so I'd keep it set to the standard 1080p.
The new realme UI 2 software is a big step up, it's a custom version of color os so it feels similar to using an oppo phone but there's a ton of customization options icon styles colors.
The 4500 milliamp battery in here goes a long way. Battery on this is really good. So you'll easily get a day and a half out of this, maybe even two days with a bit of rationing. Plus the 50 watt super dart charger tops it up nice and quickly.
There is no wireless charging but that's to be expected with this pricing. It's a good problem to have but I think we're kind of spoiled for choice now with a range of great affordable / budget phones. I do think if gaming is a priority for you then maybe look for a phone with a higher refresh rate and maybe a more powerful processor like the Samsung Galaxy A72.
But with a unique design good camera with lots of fun modes to mess around with much slicker software, great battery life 8GB of ram plus 128 storage and micro sd card support all for 310 dollars I think it's a pretty good value option.
