The Realme 8 Pro was launched in India in March 2021 in three colour options: Infinite Blue, Infinite Black, and Illuminating Yellow. The phone does not support 5G networks, as it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, which is a 4G-only processor.
Colour Options
The Realme 8 Pro is available in Infinite Blue, Infinite Black, and Illuminating Yellow [citation:1][citation:8]. The Illuminating Yellow variant features a special fluorescent material around the camera module and the ‘Dare to Leap’ branding that glows in the dark after absorbing light [citation:19].
The Infinite Blue colour has a dreamlike finish, while Infinite Black offers a more subtle, low-key appearance [citation:19]. The phone has a large ‘Dare to Leap’ slogan printed on the back panel [citation:19].
5G Support
The Realme 8 Pro does not support 5G connectivity [citation:2][citation:6]. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G mobile platform, which is an 8nm octa-core processor with an Adreno 618 GPU [citation:2][citation:19]. This chipset supports only 4G LTE, 3G, and 2G networks.
The supported network bands include GSM, WCDMA, FDD-LTE, and TDD-LTE [citation:2]. The phone supports dual SIM with dual 4G VoLTE standby [citation:19].
A separate device called the Realme 8 Pro 5G appears on some listing sites, but it was never officially launched in India [citation:3][citation:17]. Listings for this model show a Snapdragon 765G chipset and 5G network support, but the device is marked as not announced or out of stock [citation:3][citation:13].
Key Specifications
The Realme 8 Pro features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 60Hz refresh rate [citation:2][citation:19]. The screen has a peak brightness of 1000 nits and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz [citation:2].
The phone has a quad rear camera setup led by a 108MP Samsung HM2 primary sensor [citation:19]. The other cameras include an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP black-and-white portrait lens [citation:19]. The front camera is a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor [citation:2].
The device packs a 4500mAh battery with 50W SuperDart Charge support, which Realme claims can charge the phone to 100% in 47 minutes [citation:16][citation:19]. It ships with a 65W charger in the box [citation:19].
The Realme 8 Pro was priced at Rs 17,999 for the 6GB RAM variant and Rs 19,999 for the 8GB RAM variant at launch [citation:19]. The Illuminating Yellow colour variant went on sale separately in April 2021 [citation:18].
