              I think a phone has to be literally useless for it to have a less than 3 star rating on gsmarena. This one is 3 star. Or even less. Gsmarena cleverly starts the review by saying, incremental updates in different models, incremental differences in different generations, bs! Its a bad phone compared to the competition, period!
              Androidauthority had a better review than this.
              Gsmarena up your game!

                  Have the GSM got the price right , itvis about 279 £ but here in South it is priced at 180 £ for the 6 GB RAM n 128 GB storage version. Consensus here in South n South East Asia is that atleast Camerawise it is one of the better phones under 280£. Also a few credible n famous YouTubers have pegged the phone brightness as 870 nits in Auto/ Sunlight boost mode n in maybe 2% window in HDR it can get as high as 1100 nits.

                    This phone is a scam !!! Their competitors move to less chin while upgrading the display and speakers ..

                    Meanwhile Realme : lets go backwards.. and bet on camera alone... Lol..

                    Idk what they want to archive with that price ..

                      Realme will again use Oppo and Vivo's strategy of getting someone famous to endorse this, therefore inflating the price even further. This strategy has been hurting them since the release of the Realme 6 and 7 series. Now, they are just like its sister companies.

                          OnLyPOCOcAnBeaTaPOCO, 29 Mar 2021Here's the funniest passage from the review: "... morethat first passage made me laugh. they are saying we should not spend a little more on a phone that double or triple the value haha

                            Here's the funniest passage from the review:

                            "Then there is the Poco F3 - it is €50 more expensive than the Realme 8 Pro, though the early birds should be able to get it at €300 for a limited time. The F3 impresses with a sleek glass body and a metal frame, a 120Hz AMOLED screen, the second most powerful Qualcomm chip to date - the Snapdragon 870 5G, there are stereo speakers, an equally large battery, and the same RAM and storage. The F3 omits a 3.5mm jack and a microSD slot, and these are the only concerns we have and things that won't stop us from recommending it over the Realme 8 Pro."

                            This one is good too 🤣:

                            "So, the Realme 8 Pro is a good and dependable phone, but it's priced a bit too high for its own good. Hopefully, if it gets a price cut, we may consider recommending it before the Realme 9 Pro. But right now, you can and should get one of the better phones for your hard-earned cash."

                            Haha, so true...

                              Anonymous, 29 Mar 2021Since the article refers to the Redmi Note 10 Pro 6 / 128GB... moreWorse in the US. Can't buy any version of the Note 10 Pro on any reputable sites. Though if I'm using a VPN, it's available everywhere. Gave up today and just got the Realme while it was $230.

                                  Finally, no differences with realme 7 pro. Only the zoom is quiet good but it's the same phone. Realme 7 pro cost around 250 e, so goo for the realme 7 pro. It's a very good phone.

                                    Since the article refers to the Redmi Note 10 Pro 6 / 128GB as a possible replacement for the Realme 8 Pro. One question: Why do I only see the Redmi Note 10 Pro 6 / 64GB on sale in Europe. Is the 128GB version it´s only for example for India?
