Is it Worth Buying RealMe 8 Pro?
Let me say this first, don’t buy RealMe 8 Pro and the main reason for that is, there is no huge difference between RealMe 7 Pro and RealMe 8 Pro. I have already made a RealMe 8 Pro review but if you short answer then I think you already got one but why I said that, let’s find out but before that, here is the India price for RealMe 8 Pro.
| RealMe 8 Pro (6GB Ram + 128GB Storage) | Rs 17,999 |
| RealMe 8 Pro (8GB Ram + 128GB Storage) | Rs 19,999 |

Is it Worth Buying RealMe 8 Pro?
No, RealMe 8 Pro is no worth buying because it’s the same as RealMe 7 Pro. RealMe haven’t made any changes to this phone, so paying Rs 17,999 for the same phone doesn’t make any sense. Also, We have Redmi Note 10 Pro available at Rs 16,999 price, so it doesn’t make any sense to buy RealMe 8 Pro over Redmi Note 10 Pro. Overall, RealMe 8 Pro is not value for money device.
Of course, now you will say, what’s the difference between RealMe 8 Pro and Redmi Note 10? here is the side by side compression.

The only difference you will see is the camera sensor and fast charging support. Let me tell you one thing, 108MP or 64MP sensor won’t give the best image quality, it depends on the company how they want to give images quality. In this case, I haven’t seen a huge difference in camera quality, both the phones give the same image quality.
Now, if you want that 108MP sensor then go with Redmi Note 10 Pro Max which is priced at 19k.
From My side, Redmi Note 10 Pro makes more sense as the phone has a higher refresh rate, a powerful processor, a bigger battery, it’s made out of glass, and it’s priced lower than RealMe 8 Pro.
