Realme 8 5G goes official with Dimensity 700 chipset, 90Hz display

Realme 8 5G is the first phone to launch in India with MediaTek's 7nm Dimensity 700 chipset.

What you need to know

Realme has announced a 5G-enabled variant of the Realme 8.
The phone is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 700 5G chipset and features a 90Hz display.
It will go on sale in India from April.

Realme today expanded its Realme 8 family of budget phones with a 5G version of the vanilla Realme 8. Even though the name of the phone suggests otherwise, the Realme 8 5G doesn't have a lot in common with the 4G-only Realme 8.

The Realme 8 5G sports a 6.5-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Dragontrail glass protection. Powering the device is MediaTek's Dimensity 700 5G chipset, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

In the camera department, the Realme 8 5G isn't quite as impressive as the Realme 8. It has a triple-camera setup on the back with a 48MP Samsung GM1 sensor, a monochrome portrait lens, and a macro lens with a 4cm focus distance. For selfies, the phone features a 16MP camera housed within the hole-punch cutout on the top-left corner of the display.

The phone packs a 5,000mAh battery, but only supports 18W charging speeds. It also comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack. On the software side of things, the Realme 8 5G runs Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0 on top.

Realme 8 5G will be available to purchase in India from April 28 via Flipkart and leading offline stores. The phone has been priced at ₹14,999 ($200) for the 4GB/128GB version and ₹16,999 ($227) for the 8GB/128GB version. In Europe, the phone will be available from €199 starting next month. While it doesn't have the specs to give the best cheap Android phones a run for their money, support for 5G networks could help make it a hit.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
