A teaser page for the Realme 8 5G has appeared on Flipkart. This is not Realme’s first foray into the world of 5G. That honour belongs to the Realme X50 Pro 5G. The company has launched three other 5G devices in India, including the Realme X7 Pro 5G, Realme X7 5G, and the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G.

The promo images claim that the 7nm SoC is 28% more efficient than 8nm chipsets. In terms of connectivity, more specifically the network speeds, we could see up to 2.34GBps downloads at a latency of less than 10 ms.
