Next-gen 5G data speeds might still be a hit-and-miss revolution, but you can no longer say the tech is prohibitively pricey: 5G blowers are getting cheaper all the time, and Realme’s latest comes in at £100 less than its Pro-badged counterpart. The Realme 8 is the first phone in the UK to feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 5G processor. It’s a fairly slimline 8.5mm and sports a 6.5in 90Hz 2400x1080 display backed by a 5000mAh battery with fast charging. The triple-camera setup includes a 48MP main shooter featuring a night mode, a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP monochrome snapper; flip the phone around and you’ll find a 16MP selfie camera. That’s a fair bit of bang for your 179 bucks.
