Introducing Realme Neo 8 - a gaming sub-flagship with an 8000 mAh battery capable of running Sekiro and Hollow Knight Silksong
In China, there was a presentation of the remarkable sub-flagship Realme Neo 8 - a smartphone that combines top performance, a huge battery, and an unusual design with a translucent back panel and RGB lighting Awakening Halo.
What is known
Realme Neo 8 is equipped with a 6.78” Samsung Sky Screen display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz and extreme local brightness up to 6500 nits.
The device runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, Qualcomm's most powerful chipset. In AnTuTu, the smartphone scores up to 3.85 million points, putting it on par with the fastest models of the season.
Realme Neo 8 received an 8000 mAh battery, which, according to the manufacturer, is enough for 7.7 hours of continuous gaming or more than 20 hours of video viewing. Pass-through power (from the network, bypassing the battery) is supported.
The smartphone has a 50 MP Sony IMX896 main camera with optical stabilization (OIS) support and 120x zoom and a periscope telephoto lens, which is rare for devices in this price range.
Realme added a “PC mode” to the smartphone with Steam integration, which allows you to log in, synchronize saves, and run compatible games through the built-in emulator. More than 50 games have already been tested, including the Tomb Raider series, Sekiro, Hollow Knight Silksong, and Dave the Diver.
The youth-oriented Realme Neo 8 is also emphasized by its design - it received a translucent top part of the body, a metal frame, and, of course, RGB lighting Awakening Halo.
The smartphone is offered in white, black, and intense purple.
Realme Neo 8 is available in five memory variants:
- 12/256 GB — $345
- 16/256 GB — $390
- 12/512 GB — $415
- 16/512 GB — $460
- 16 GB / 1 TB — $530.
So far, the novelty is only available in China, but a global launch may follow soon.
