Not happy. Recently purchased.

Noticeable performance stutters here and there, unless performance mode is activated. Then it improves somewhat.

When browsing, it lags and slows down heavily. Feels like the system becomes unstable. I type something, and it takes a few seconds to register on the screen. If I have more than a handful of tabs open, then some webpages pause mid way, don't fully load, and I am made to wait until the system regains composure.

Ruins the experience.

Also messaging apps like telegram and whatsapp take a few moments to refresh and load. Then the notifications and new messages come through. It isn't instant. Sometimes I have to wait 5 seconds or more. It doesn't sound like much, but I would expect a phone that has a score of 360k on antutu to at least perform better than it currently is. My old moto with a SD 6 series chip was faster, and never had this problem.

I invested in the 6gb model of the realme 8 5g, thinking I could avoid all these lags and stutters. How wrong was I!
I've also extended my ram by 5gb. Hasn't made an ounce of difference.

I'm seriously not happy ;(

            Abhishek, 06 Aug 2021It's the worst phone i have ever got. not having 4k ... moreYou seriously comparing the specs of a high end flagship to a mid-range 224$ phone? Your expectations is too high for a mid-range. If you want that specs go buy a 700-1400$ phone.

              Overpriced for this kind of specs
              -No 60fps support in video recording
              -No Ultra-wide camera

                        I just bought my Realme 8 5G the other day,3 days ago. What I observed for 3days when I charged the phone and fully charged for 100% and when I use it, I downloaded 1 app and browse to Google, my battery percentage down to 98% within 17 mins. I compare it to my old phone Huawei y9 2019 model which is full battery also. I tried to download 1 app then browse to Google for 17 mins still it's on 100% full. WOW REALME explain why?!

                                Just purchased Realme 8 5G
                                It sounds stupid but I use a countdown app with various countdowns. The UI 2 used on Realme will only display 1 widget from an app, it does not support multiple widgets from the same app. Realme says it's a security issue.
                                I now know why I like a vanilla Android installation. I will be returning the phone.
