Realme is currently gearing up to launch the Realme 16 Pro series of smartphones for the global market. While the company is also said to be working on the 16 series in China, it is also believed to be developing the Neo 8 lineup. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, has seemingly revealed the key specifications of an upcoming Neo 8 model.

Realme Neo 8 series phone incoming

To recall, the Realme Neo 7 series includes four models, namely the Realme Neo 7 Turbo, Neo 7, Neo 7 SE, and Neo 7x. These devices are powered by the Dimensity 9300 Plus, Dimensity 9400e, Dimensity 6400 Max, and Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipsets, respectively. It remains to be seen whether the Neo 8 lineup will have successors for all four Neo 7 models.

The new leak reveals that an upcoming Realme phone will feature a large, flat Samsung AMOLED display with support for a 1.5K resolution. Under the hood, it is said to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

While the official of the device is not known, it could be called the Realme Neo 8 when it hits the Chinese market. A previous leak claimed that the device could be equipped with other features, such as an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor, a metal frame, and an 8,000mAh+ battery.

The inclusion of this chip suggests that the upcoming Realme phone is designed to take on the likes of the OnePlus Ace 6T, Moto X70 Ultra, and iQOO Z11 Turbo Pro, which are also powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The Vivo S50 Pro Mini also features the same chipset, but it is a camera-focused phone, while the others are more performance-oriented.

The post Alleged Realme Neo 8 tipped to feature 1.5K Samsung display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme has just shown off the Realme 16 Pro series in four stunning colors. The phone is designed by renowned designer Naoto Fukasawa, who, if you remember, also worked on the 2021 Realme GT Master Edition. 

At this point, most of the Realme 16 Pro’s hardware isn’t much of a mystery. The device has already surfaced on China’s TENAA certification, which has revealed nearly all of its key specifications. 

The main missing detail was the chipset, and that gap has now been filled thanks to a recent Geekbench listing.

Realme 16 Pro could use Dimensity 7300

The Realme 16 Pro showed up on Geekbench under the model number RMX5120. The listing reveals an octa-core processor with four performance cores clocked at 2.5GHz and four efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz, paired with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. Based on those details, the phone is likely powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 chipset.

What’s interesting is that Realme 15 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, a more powerful SoC than what’s on its successor. In other words, the newer model may take a step back in raw performance, at least on paper.

That said, Realme has already confirmed that the higher-end Realme 16 Pro+ will use a Snapdragon chip. 

As for the rest of the hardware, the Realme 16 Pro features a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The rear camera setup is a pair of a 200-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel secondary camera. Up front, there’s a 50-megapixel selfie camera.

Software-wise, the device is expected to ship with Realme UI 7 based on Android 16. The Realme 16 Pro also packs a large battery. TENAA lists its rated capacity at 6,830mAh, which likely translates to a typical capacity of around 7,000mAh. It will charge via an 80W adapter. 

The certification listing also mentions an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and an IR blaster.

The seventh round of the Realme UI 7.0 Early Access program has gone live, bringing the latest features and upgrades to six more Realme smartphones ahead of the stable rollout. The latest beta round includes devices like the Realme 13 5G, Realme 12x 5G, Narzo 70x 5G, Narzo N65 5G, Realme C65 5G, and Realme C63 5G.

The sixth wave of Realme UI 7.0 beta access is currently live in India, with no official confirmation regarding its expansion to other regions. If you have one of these eligible Realme devices and live in India, you can sign up for the beta program to access the latest features and upgrades without waiting.

How to get the Realme UI 7.0 beta update?

The Realme UI 7.0 Early Access program is already live for all six Realme phones. You can participate in the program right now, but note that Realme is only accepting a maximum of 200 applications for each of these models. Therefore, you must hurry to secure a slot, as they are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Step 1: Ensure that your device has the required firmware version

To be eligible for the beta access, your Realme device must be running on the required firmware version:

• Realme 13 5G: RMX3951_15.0.0.1610
• Realme 12x 5G: RMX3998_15.0.0.1610
• Realme Narzo 70x 5G: RMX3998_15.0.0.1610

You can verify the software version by navigating to Settings > System & Updates > Software Update. Now that we have completed this step, let’s proceed to the beta registration part.

Step 2: Sign up for the Realme UI 7.0 Early Access program

You must enable the developer settings first. If you haven’t already, go to Settings > About device > Version > Version Number and tap the version number seven times in quick succession. This should enable developer settings.

Now, you’re ready to sign up for the beta program. Follow these steps in the same order:

1. Open the Settings app on your Realme phone.
2. Go to System & update and tap Software update.
3. Tap the three dots icon in the top-right corner and choose Beta program.
4. Tap the Early Access option and click Apply now on the next screen.
5. Accept terms and conditions and tap Submit.

After submitting the application, you will soon receive the Realme UI 7.0 beta update via OTA. To manually check for updates, go to Settings > System & update > Software update.

The beta rollout has already begun for these Realme devices included in the 7th wave of beta access, so the wait should not be long. Since this is a major upgrade with a hefty download size, the brand recommends keeping at least 15GB of free storage and a battery level above 60% for a smoother installation.
