Realme 8 5G vs Realme 8 vs Realme 8 Pro
The Realme 8 series is a bit of a confusing line-up with a big difference across the range,
While the Realme 8 5G may have the best chipset with 5G connectivity, it has the worst camera and arguably a worse display. The 90Hz IPS display will be better for gamers, though, and this phone will be the best pick for keen mobile gamers.
The Realme 8 and 8 Pro are more closely related, both offering an IPS display. The Pro uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset while the 8 uses MediaTek Helio G95, in reality, you will likely see no difference in performance with these at all.
The Realme 8 Pro has that massive 108MP Samsung sensor making it one of the best options on the market at this price for anyone keen on taking photos.
The Realme 8 will also take excellent photos, but its 64MP sensor won’t quite compete.
