Realme 8 Pro in for review

Say hello to the Realme 8 Pro, which has just arrived in our office. The phone will become official on March 24, but this is a sneak preview for you guys of what it looks and feels like.

The biggest-selling point of the Realme 8 Pro is its new 108MP main camera, which is capable of starry mode, tilt-shift and portrait effect mode, among others.

This is a 1/1.52" Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor, which can achieve 3x zoomed-in shots by capturing eight 12MP photos in a row and stitching them into a single image with higher clarity. We'll test that in detail in our review.

Not only did Realme send us the Realme 8 Pro with a 108MP camera, but also a separate 108MP unit for scale. Here it is, on its own.

The Realme 8 Pro will come loaded with RealmeUI 2.0 out of the box. It's based on Android 11 and brings a design, tailored for Gen-Z users. We'll be sure and test it out thoroughly in our review.

The rear panel of the Realme 8 Pro is lovely. It has a shimmering quality depending on the way light hits it, and it's nicely textured, which makes the grip a non-issue. The 'Dare to Leap' slogan is gloss to contrast from the rest of the panel.

Our full review is underway. Stay tuned for March 24 when Realme 8 Pro will become official and we'll have new information, like the price.
