    Realme 8i Specifications (Leaked)

The Realme 8 series of smartphones were launched in India earlier this year. The series includes the vanilla Realme 8 5G and Realme 8 Pro 5G models. Now, the company seems to be working towards adding another smartphone to the series. The Realme 8i has now surfaced online and the design renders of the device have been leaked ahead of its launch. In addition, the Realme 8i specs have also been tipped.

The smartphone’s design and specifications have been leaked by Digit, in collaboration with noted tipster OnLeaks. It is not like we did not know that the smartphone was in the works as Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth has already teased the device via Episode 28 of AskMadhav, earlier this month itself. Now, it seems like the launch of the device may actually be closer than expected.

One of the most attractive details about the Realme 8i specs is the fact that it will come with the Helio G96 chipset. If this is to be believed, it will be the very first smartphone to feature this particular chipset. Moreover, although the Realme 8i price in India is currently under wraps, we can expect it to be the cheapest offering in the series. From the looks of it, the Realme 8i launch date in India may be unveiled by the company soon.

Without any further ado, let us take a quick look at the design and specs of the upcoming smartphone.
