            NotFaster, 12 Nov 2021If the phone is rated at 18W charging, then 18W is the max ... moreThat's pretty weird cuz my aunt's 25 watt charger charges my realme 8 5g faster then the included 18 watt brick

                Sena k, 11 Aug 2021Worst worst worst Android 11 phone, I have never seen such ... moreWell, after a year of gaming, YouTube, editing, and filming this phone is still good and very good for it's price here in my place, it can play CODM smoothly at 60 fps and ApexM at a stable 40 fps on normal graphics and high frame rates. Battery is still pretty good can last a day without charging.

                  The realme 8 5g experience is so bad. Can't play video in full resolution it supports only a 1440

                              This article hides the fact that the camera automatically adjusts to a point where the image looks overly saturated especially portrait shots. Turning off HDR and AI still yields ugly looking photos.

                                    since it has 18 watt charger out of the box, can i get a 30 watt charger and use it on realme 5g to get faster charging time?

                                    i asked the same on realme store in my neighborhood and she told me using 30 watt charger will not make charging faster. it will be just the same as 18 watts because the product is designed to charge at 18 watt speed only.

                                    has anyone tried this? i'm really concerned about this because i have a mate 8 phone and the charger broke. the charger they sell that is intended for mate 8 does not do fast charging. i tried a more powerful charger (i dont know how much). it does fast charging but it really messes up the touch screen while charging, almost impossible to use while charging. so i need to know before buying a new phone

                                      awesome phone.up to now there is no hanging issue

                                        I have it one month and I like it very much
                                        The only problem is that specially in the beginning I was feeling the radiation on my hands.
                                        I think it is because of the 5G, it has more powerful antennas.
