Let’s delve deeper into its offerings to show you why we think it’s the best option in the sub-Rs 20,000 price bracket.

Powerful performance with 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset

The MediaTek Dimensity 810 delivers the kind of raw power that realme 8s needs to run the heaviest of apps and games smoothly on any given day. Built on the 6nm production process, it offers incredible power efficiency along with its remarkable performance.

And the presence of the MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 technology ensures that the gaming experience on the phone will be uninterrupted. Its Intelligent Resource Management Engine dynamically manages CPU, GPU, and memory based on power, thermal, and gameplay factors. This technology is also replete with plenty of connectivity traits like 5G/4G Smart Switch and Call & Data Concurrency on 5G.

Ultra-smooth 90Hz display
