Today, realme has unveiled not only the realme 8i 5G and realme 8s 5G but as well as the realme Pad. In this news post, we will be taking a look at what's new in the new phones. So sit back, relax and read the full details below.

Starting with the realme 8s, this phone is the world's first phone to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset in 6nm. Obviously, it has 5G connectivity but perhaps the most highlighted feature is the Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE). This allows the phone to add up to 13GB of virtual RAM from the existing storage.

Besides that, it has the rest of the standard tech specs as expected. The 6.5-inch display supports a 90Hz refresh rate and a 5000mAh battery with 33W Dart Charge technology. The front camera is 16MP whereas the rear camera module features a 64MP (main) + 8MP (ultrawide) + 2MP (depth).

Then moving on to the realme 8s, it is also the first phone in India to feature a MediaTek Helio G96 chipset in 12nm. The DRE feature is also available onboard, allowing the phone to add up to 11GB of virtual RAM. On top of that, it shares the same 5000mAh battery pack but at a slower fast charging technology of 18W.

To compensate for the slower fast charging speed, the realme 8s's 6.59-inch display supports a much higher refresh rate of 120Hz. The front camera remains the same as 16MP, but it has a triple rear camera configuration that consists of a 50MP (main) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth). There is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor as well so that's nice.

In terms of pricing, you may refer to the price tags for each model below:
