Realme 8 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

The Realme 8 took everything good about the Realme 7 and fixed its biggest weakness: the LCD. Launched in Pakistan in May 2021 at Rs. 39,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant, it keeps the Helio G95 chip, 64MP quad camera and 5,000mAh battery with 30W charging, but wraps them around a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with an under-display fingerprint reader. Discontinued and used-only today, it is arguably the best-balanced used Realme under Rs. 30,000 — AMOLED screen, gaming chip, big battery and fast charging in one package.

Design and Build Quality

The Realme 8 went bold: Cyber Silver and Cyber Black finishes with iridescent accents and a glossy, mirror-like sheen, stamped with large “Dare to Leap” branding. At 160.6 x 73.9 x 8 mm and just 177 g it is slim and light, with a plastic frame and back. The design divides opinion — flashy rather than subtle — and the glossy back collects fingerprints and fine scratches, so inspect used units carefully. The under-display fingerprint reader keeps the sides clean.

Display Features

The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel (1080 x 2400, ~411 ppi) with 1000 nits peak brightness and always-on display is the star: deep blacks, vivid colour and strong outdoor visibility. It runs at 60Hz — Realme traded refresh rate for AMOLED quality at this price, unlike the 90Hz LCD on the 7. For movies, photos and reading, the AMOLED wins clearly; for high-refresh gaming feel, the 7's screen is smoother. Most buyers in 2026 will prefer the AMOLED.

Processor and Performance

The MediaTek Helio G95 (12 nm) with Mali-G76 MC4 graphics returns from the Realme 7 — 2 x 2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 plus 6 x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55. Gaming performance is strong for the used price: PUBG Mobile at high settings, smooth multitasking, and a copper cooling chamber to sustain loads. It runs warm under extended gaming, which is normal for this chip. Paired with 8GB of RAM, the Realme 8 remains a genuinely capable performer in 2026 for anything short of flagship gaming.

RAM and Storage

Pakistan's launch focused on the 8GB + 128GB variant at Rs. 39,999; a 6GB + 128GB configuration also exists in the lineup's range. A dedicated microSD slot expands storage without losing the second SIM. 8GB of RAM is the sweet spot for a 2021 phone in 2026 — comfortable multitasking with headroom. Confirm the store unit's exact variant, since 8GB units hold value better than 6GB ones.

Camera Features

The 64MP main camera (f/1.8) with an 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor delivers the same strong daylight and Nightscape performance as the Realme 7, with 4K video at 30fps and gyro-EIS at 1080p. Realme's photography modes — starry mode, tilt-shift, portrait filters — carry over, and the 16MP front camera is solid. The AMOLED screen makes this the nicest Realme yet for reviewing and editing photos on-device at this price.

Battery and Charging

A 5,000mAh battery with 30W Dart charging (50% in about 26 minutes, full in roughly 65) plus reverse-charging support — the phone can top up accessories in a pinch. Endurance is excellent: a healthy unit manages a full heavy day or two light days. The AMOLED screen and efficient idle help standby time. On a used 2021 unit, battery degradation is the main watchpoint — test drain and charging in store, and confirm the original 30W charger is included.

Software and Updates

The Realme 8 launched on Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0 and officially updated to Android 13 with Realme UI 4.0 in most regions — the longest update run of any phone in this slice, which helps app compatibility in 2026. Security patches have still ended, so the usual caution applies for sensitive accounts. Check the unit's actual version in Settings; a unit on 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 5.1, FM radio, USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with Hi-Res audio certification. NFC is listed as absent in Pakistani spec databases. Sensors: under-display optical fingerprint, accelerometer, gyro, compass and proximity. Notably, there is no 5G — for that you need the Realme 8 5G, a very different phone.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Cyber Silver and Cyber Black were the colours; Pakistan's headline variant was 8GB + 128GB at Rs. 39,999, with a 6GB + 128GB option in the range. The Realme 8 is discontinued, so current stock is used-only. Because it launched officially in Pakistan with strong sales, used units are relatively plentiful — more choice, but also more variance in condition. Verify the specific IMEI's PTA status regardless.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

The Rs. 39,999 launch price is history. Rough used-market estimates in October 2026 place clean 8GB + 128GB units around Rs. 20,000–28,000 depending on condition, box and PTA status — estimates, not verified listings, so confirm the current price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery. The 8GB variant is worth seeking over 6GB. PTA status is per-device: verify the specific unit's IMEI via SMS to 8484 before paying, even though officially launched units are often PTA-paid.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display — the best screen of any used phone near Rs. 25,000
• Helio G95 gaming chip with 8GB RAM — strong performance for the money
• 5,000mAh battery with 30W charging plus reverse charging
• 64MP quad camera with 4K video; under-display fingerprint reader
• Longest update run in this slice (up to Android 13); plentiful used stock

Limitations:

• 60Hz display — no high refresh rate despite the AMOLED panel
• Android 11–13 with no security updates for years; no 5G
• No NFC; flashy glossy design shows scratches
• Runs warm under sustained gaming; plastic build
• Discontinued: used-only, battery health varies

Who Should Consider This Phone?

Good fit: anyone wanting the best all-round used phone under Rs. 30,000 — AMOLED screen for media, G95 for gaming, big battery for endurance. Look elsewhere if: you need 5G (see the Realme 8 5G) or 90Hz+ smoothness matters most — browse the Realme collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of Realme 8 in Pakistan?

No new stock exists. Rough used-market estimates in October 2026 put clean 8GB + 128GB units around Rs. 20,000–28,000 depending on condition and PTA status. Confirm the current price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

What is the difference between Realme 8, 8 5G and 8 Pro?

Three very different phones: the 8 has a Helio G95, AMOLED screen and 64MP camera; the 8 5G has a Dimensity 700, 90Hz LCD, 48MP camera and 5G; the 8 Pro has a Snapdragon 720G, AMOLED, 108MP camera and 50W charging. Don't confuse them when buying used.

Does the Realme 8 support 5G?

No — the standard Realme 8 is 4G only. The Realme 8 5G is the separate 5G model with a different chip and screen.

Is the Realme 8 good for gaming?

Yes. The Helio G95 with Mali-G76 MC4 graphics and 8GB RAM handles PUBG Mobile well at high settings, with a cooling chamber for sustained play.

Does the Realme 8 have an AMOLED display?

Yes — a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel at Full HD+ with 1000 nits peak brightness and always-on display. It is 60Hz, not 90Hz.

How fast does the Realme 8 charge?

30W Dart charging: about 50% in 26 minutes and a full 5,000mAh charge in roughly 65 minutes with the original charger. It also supports reverse charging.

Does the Realme 8 have NFC?

No — Pakistani spec databases list NFC as absent on this model.

Is the Realme 8 PTA approved?

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

Final Verdict

The Realme 8 is the complete package of this slice: the 7's gaming chip and camera, a 5,000mAh battery with 30W charging, and the AMOLED screen the 7 always needed — for used money in the mid Rs. 20,000s. The 60Hz panel and old software are the only real compromises. If you want one used Realme that does everything well, this is very likely it. Check battery health, the charger, and the IMEI, and buy with confidence.
