Madhav Sheth tweeted that the Realme 8 series will be the first phones to run Realme UI 2.0 out of the box. That’s not 100% right as the Realme GT (which already completed its first flash sale) does run version 2.0 of the company’s custom software.
However, the GT is available only in China
for now and Sheth is CEO of Realme India and Europe. For those regions at least
he is correct. Anyway, the Realme 8 series will also feature upgrade Starry
Mode with the ability to record time-lapse videos – the first of their kind on
mobile. This mode will work best with the large 108 MP sensor (ISOCELL HM2,
1/1.52”) on the Pro phone. You can read more about Starry Mode (and the
camera’s other features) here.
Other tidbits tweeted out by the CEO
reveal that the Realme 8 and 8 Pro will feature Super AMOLED displays
(6.4" in the case of the vanilla model). Also, the 8 Pro will support 50W
SuperDart charging, which can fill the battery to 100% in 47 minutes. The
vanilla Realme 8 will charge at 30W and it will have a 5,000 mAh battery.
