No matter what our current preoccupations may be, there is a truth we have to acknowledge: we’ve all become heavily reliant on mobile data.

A huge amount of data is required to listen to academic lectures or take part in office meetings. Even our leisure time is dependent on data. After all, binge-watching our favorite shows requires a connection that can guarantee good video quality.

Because of this, we have seen a rise in the number of 5G devices and services entering the market over the past year. This is due to 5G’s three major benefits – faster speeds, higher bandwidth, and lower latency – over its predecessor, 4G.

realme – the number one smartphone brand in the Philippines (Q1 2021, based on IDC and Canalys) – understands the importance of 5G, especially for heavy data users. After the launch of its bestselling realme 8 Pro and the realme 8, they are now introducing a new device that is 5G-ready.

The realme 8 5G

The realme 8 5G promises to deliver better performance, speed, and connectivity to users as well as strengthen realme’s mid-range lineup. Let’s get to know what it has to offer.

Dimensity 700 5G Processor

A good processor is key to a reliable 5G device as it is directly responsible for the performance of your smartphone. realme 8 5G is powered by the Dimensity 700 5G processor, which combines two highly capable Arm Cortex-A76 cores in its octa-core CPU operating up to a speedy 2.2GHz. It also uses the leading 7nm production processor.

This means that the device utilizes high-performance processors that efficiently consume power, which extends your phone’s battery life. 

This processor also supports 5G Dual SIM Dual Standby, letting the phone support 5G SIM cards online by 5G network. Its Advanced Dual Network Acceleration technology also allows for Wi-Fi and 5G network overlay, which maximizes both. 

500mAh battery and Smart Power Saving

With its 5000mAh battery, the realme 8 5G is ideal for day-to-day use. This makes it a good choice for students and professionals alike. Its 18W type-c quick charge also enables rapid full charging for this battery.

But we do have to note that the use of 5G requires more power consumption. In order to avoid straining the device’s battery life, realme developed a feature that no other 5G device offers: Smart Power Saving mode.

Smart Power Saving mode uses CPU tuning, backlight adjustment, and other strategies and targeted power-saving measures for specific applications. Other solutions include Sleep Standby Optimization, App Quick Freeze, and Screen Battery Optimization.

90Hz Ultra Smooth Display

As we use our smartphones, most of us want to get a smart and smooth visual experience so we can view photos, enjoy our shows, or see our friends on video calls clearly. 

realme 8 5G comes with a 6.5-inch 90Hz Ultra Smooth Display with a 90Hz refresh rate and maximum 180Hz sampling rate.

It also has a 6.5-inch display and optimized screen-to-body ratio of up to 90.5%, which helps us get quality visual experience.

realme’s commitment to providing 5G access

With the release of this smartphone, realme is reinforcing its commitment to provide 5G access to more people around the world. By beginning with the youth, they are dedicated to developing high-quality yet accessible 5G devices that offer no compromise.

“As a brand that’s dedicated to young consumers, realme tries to listen carefully to what they expect from 5G technology and get them more involved in the process of creating a better 5G user experience. By empowering the young, we hope they can, in turn, become the forerunners of 5G adoption and help lead more people into the 5G era,” said realme Global Brand Director Johnny Chen.
