The realme Neo8 is now official as the brand’s latest high-end smartphone. Its highlights include its processor, battery, and unique design with an RGB light strip.

The strip activates when receiving notifications or charging. In addition, the device is IP69-rated for dust and water resistance.

A 16-megapixel selfie camera sits on top of the display. The rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel IMX896 main sensor with OIS.
