Realme 8 Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Realme 8 Pro was Realme's 2021 camera flagship for the mid-range: a 108MP Samsung HM2 main camera, 50W SuperDart charging, a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display and Hi-Res certified stereo speakers, launched in Pakistan in May 2021 at Rs. 47,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. Discontinued and used-only today, it is the best camera phone in this slice by a clear margin — and with its glow-in-the-dark Illuminating Yellow finish, the most distinctive-looking one too.

Design and Build Quality

The 8 Pro is the looker of the slice: Infinite Blue and Infinite Black with a frosted AG finish and bold “Dare to Leap” branding, Punk Black, and the famous Illuminating Yellow whose fluorescent material glows in the dark. At 160.6 x 73.9 x 8.1 mm and just 176 g it is slim and light, with a plastic frame and back. The box-shaped camera housing is distinctive. On a used unit, check the finish for wear — the AG coating on coloured variants can polish shiny with heavy use — and test the under-display fingerprint reader.

Display Features

The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel (1080 x 2400, ~411 ppi) with always-on display delivers deep blacks and vivid colour — a clear step above every LCD in this slice and on par with the standard 8's screen. Like the 8, it runs at 60Hz rather than 90Hz: Realme prioritised panel quality over refresh rate. For photography — this phone's reason to exist — the AMOLED screen is the right call, making on-device photo review genuinely enjoyable.

Processor and Performance

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (8 nm) — 2 x 2.3 GHz Kryo 465 Gold plus 6 x 1.8 GHz Kryo 465 Silver with Adreno 618 graphics — is the same efficient chip as the 7 Pro. Daily performance is smooth, multitasking with 8GB RAM is comfortable, and PUBG Mobile runs well at high settings while staying cooler than the Helio G95. It is not the fastest chip in this slice for raw gaming (that honour goes to the G90T/G95), but it is the most balanced: capable, efficient and dependable, with copper cooling for sustained loads.

RAM and Storage

Pakistan's 8 Pro sold as a single 8GB + 128GB configuration with UFS 2.1 storage — no variant hunting needed. A dedicated microSD slot (up to 256GB) expands storage without sacrificing the second SIM. 8GB of RAM keeps the phone fluid in 2026, and the single generous configuration helps the 8 Pro hold its used value better than models fragmented across weak base variants.

Camera Features

The 108MP Samsung HM2 main sensor (f/1.9, 1/1.52-inch) is the headline: 9-in-1 pixel binning produces detailed 12MP shots with excellent dynamic range, and the full 108MP mode captures enormous detail in good light. It is joined by an 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro and 2MP black-and-white depth sensor, with 4K video at 30fps (plus slow-motion up to 960fps at 720p) and Realme's full creative suite — starry mode, tilt-shift, neon portraits, dual-view video. The 16MP front camera is capable. This is comfortably the best camera system in the slice, and still competitive with new phones near its used price.

Battery and Charging

The 4,500mAh battery with 50W SuperDart charging fills fully in about 47 minutes — and Realme shipped a 65W brick in the box. Endurance is a solid day of normal use; the efficient 720G and AMOLED screen help it punch above its capacity. Reverse charging is supported. On a used unit, the charger question is critical: without the original SuperDart brick you lose the phone's signature speed, so confirm inclusion and test a fast-charge cycle in store, and check battery health on a 2021 unit.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0, the 8 Pro officially updated to Android 13 with Realme UI 4.0 per spec databases — the longest support run in this slice alongside the standard 8. Security patches have ended, so the usual caution applies for sensitive accounts. App compatibility remains broad in 2026. Check the unit's actual version in Settings; Android 12 or 13 is normal and preferable.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Dual Nano-SIM with dual standby, 4G LTE (bands 1/3/5/8/38/40/41), dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Notably there is no FM radio and no NFC on this model per spec databases — two small omissions versus its siblings. The Hi-Res certified stereo speakers are a genuine highlight for video and gaming audio. Sensors: under-display optical fingerprint, accelerometer, gyro, compass and proximity. No 5G — 4G LTE only.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Infinite Blue, Infinite Black, Punk Black and Illuminating Yellow were the colours; Pakistan received the single 8GB + 128GB variant at Rs. 47,999. The 8 Pro is discontinued, so current stock is used-only. The Illuminating Yellow finish is the collector's pick and sometimes commands a small premium; Infinite Blue/Black are the common finds. Because it launched officially in Pakistan, PTA-approved units exist — but always verify the specific IMEI.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Rs. 47,999 launch price is history. Rough used-market estimates in October 2026 place clean 8GB + 128GB units around Rs. 25,000–35,000 depending on colour, condition, box, the SuperDart charger and PTA status — estimates, not verified listings, so confirm the current price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery. The 8 Pro holds value best in this slice thanks to its camera; don't overpay for worn units missing the original 65W brick. PTA status is per-device: verify the specific unit's IMEI via SMS to 8484 before paying.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• 108MP Samsung HM2 camera — the best camera in this slice by a clear margin
• 50W SuperDart charging (full in ~47 min) with a 65W brick originally in the box
• 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display; Hi-Res certified stereo speakers
• Distinctive design including glow-in-the-dark Illuminating Yellow
• Snapdragon 720G is efficient and dependable; single 8GB + 128GB variant holds value

Limitations:

• 60Hz display — no high refresh rate
• 4,500mAh battery is modest; no FM radio; no NFC; no 5G
• 720G trails the Helio G95/G90T for raw gaming performance
• Android 11–13 with no security updates for years
• Discontinued: used-only, battery health varies; charger inclusion is critical

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: mobile photographers on a budget — nothing else used near Rs. 30,000 touches the 108MP camera, and the AMOLED screen plus stereo speakers make it a media delight. Look elsewhere if: gaming performance is the priority (the standard Realme 8's G95 is stronger) or you need 5G — browse the Realme collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of Realme 8 Pro in Pakistan?

No new stock exists. Rough used-market estimates in October 2026 put clean 8GB + 128GB units around Rs. 25,000–35,000 depending on colour, condition, the SuperDart charger and PTA status. Confirm the current price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

What is the difference between Realme 8 Pro and Realme 8?

The Pro upgrades the camera to 108MP (vs 64MP), charging to 50W (vs 30W), adds stereo speakers and a slimmer 176g build — but uses a Snapdragon 720G (vs Helio G95), so the standard 8 is actually the better gaming phone. Choose the Pro for photography, the 8 for gaming value.

Is the 108MP camera actually good, or just marketing?

Genuinely good. The Samsung HM2 with 9-in-1 pixel binning produces detailed, dynamic photos that outclass every other camera in this slice, and the full 108MP mode captures real detail in good light. It's the main reason to buy this phone.

How fast does the Realme 8 Pro charge?

50W SuperDart charging fills the 4,500mAh battery in about 47 minutes. Realme shipped a 65W brick in the box — insist on getting the original charger with a used unit.

Does the Realme 8 Pro have stereo speakers?

Yes — Hi-Res certified dual stereo speakers, per launch coverage. Combined with the AMOLED display, media playback is excellent for the used price.

Does the Realme 8 Pro support 5G?

No — the 8 Pro is 4G LTE only, despite the premium positioning. The Realme 8 5G is the separate 5G model.

Does the Realme 8 Pro have NFC or FM radio?

No to both, per spec databases — two small omissions worth knowing before you buy.

Is the Realme 8 Pro PTA approved?

PTA status is per-device. The 8 Pro launched officially in Pakistan so approved units exist — verify the specific unit's IMEI via SMS to 8484 before purchase.

Final Verdict

The Realme 8 Pro is the camera king of this slice and one of the smartest used buys under Rs. 35,000: a genuinely excellent 108MP camera, AMOLED screen, 50W charging and stereo speakers in a slim, distinctive body. It concedes gaming grunt to the Helio G95 phones and 5G to the 8 5G — but for photography-first buyers, nothing else here competes. Insist on the original 65W brick, check the battery and IMEI, and enjoy flagship-grade photos for mid-range used money.
