Realme 8s specifications and design have appeared on the Web ahead of an official announcement. The new Realme phone is said to launch in India soon alongside the entry-level Realme 8i. The Realme 8s would sit next to Realme 8, Realme 8 5G, and Realme 8 Pro. Key highlights of the upcoming phone could include a 90Hz display, triple rear cameras, and 33W fast charging. The phone is also said to have a MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC, which could be an upgrade to the existing Dimensity 800.
