Realme 8 Pro Vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Vs Galaxy S20 Ultra - Can it Win? By WhatGear

Welcome to gear reviews, tech reviews coming to you from the UK and a while ago I made a video about how future mid-range smartphones were about to get superpowers. Well, that time is now and this phone right here is the Realme 8 pro, and there are quite a few areas where this phone can stand up to the likes of the mighty Apple iPhone 12 Pro max and Samsung's galaxy s21 ultra. But before I get into all of that, I'm going to run through some of the key specs that you guys need to know about, and then I will reveal the price and when we get to that point, let me know if you're surprised or not so powering. The Realme 8 pro is the Qualcomm snapdragon 720 g chipset. You can get this phone with six gigabyte ram or eight gigabytes of ram, and the internal storage is 128 gigabytes, although it does have a hybrid sim card tray, which means you can expand the memory if you run out and that's a feature that the s21 doesn't have and the Apple iPhone doesn't have the display on the realm 8 pro is a 6.4 inch super AMOLED with a 90 hertz, refresh rate, which is 30 hertz faster than an iPhone 12 Pro max screen. The touch sampling rate is 180 hertz, which means this phone is great for gaming, on very responsive to touch and the battery inside this device is a 4 500, William hour cell, and it charges with 50 watt start charging.

Now here's where it gets fascinating, while all the other manufacturers are stripping the phone charges out of their boxes. Real me are doing something very different and quite opposite. In fact, they actually give you a 65 watt, dart charger when the phone actually only uses 50 watt dart charging, so they're, giving you more than you actually need, and they're doing this, because this can actually charge a lot of the other products in the Realme ecosystem. So that's nice, they're, going way above what everyone else is doing and giving you more. So if you saw my unboxing video you've probably already got a look at the camera.

Module on this phone, and you've got four shooters. So you've got a macro. Shooter you've got a portrait shooter an ultra-wide and then, of course, the crown jewel, the Samsung 108 ISO cell sensor and that 108 sensor allows for nine in one pixel binning, which means it takes nine pixels and combines all the detail into one pixel, essentially giving you a better picture, and we'll get into that a bit later on in the video stick around. For that now check this out a 3.5, millimeter, headphone jack, a feature that neither the iPhone nor the s21 have at the moment that supports high-res audio via a wire which is still the most stable and highest quality method of getting audio from a device to your headphones. Although I did hear there is some new Qualcomm tech coming, which is going to upscale the Bluetooth quality, we're going to get so make sure you keep an eye on this channel for more info on that coming soon.

So let me take you on a tour of the design of the realm 8 pro and the back is an AG crystal with a two-tone effect and a frosted finish and Realme have even added in fluorescent aspects here and real me's explanation of how they achieved. This finish is nothing short of mind-blowing. It's super thin at 8.1 millimeters, and it's very light too. At 176 grams, the bezels around the super AMOLED display are very thin, especially on the left and the right and the top bezel at the bottom of the device. We do have a bit of a chin there, but when you've got the dark mode on the full dark mode, you actually don't notice that a lot of the time- and I really like the indented ridges- that run across the top and bottom of the device kind of reminds me of a blade and the left edge of the device houses, the hybrid sim tray and on the right hand, side.

You have the volume rocker and power button and at the bottom of the device you have the headphone jack, the speaker, grille the charging port and also dual microphones, which means better voice call quality, which is what phones were originally all about. Now the camera module on the back does protrude a little. It's got that two-step design very similar to that scene on the iPhone, which means when it's flat on a table. You do get a little of table wobble, not a massive problem though, but it is something I noticed. So my personal opinion on the realm 8 pros design, is that it's quite a unique and distinctive looking phone is very eye-catching and the bold slogan on the back isn't going to be for everybody, but I actually quite like it and in terms of look and feel it's quite refreshing to use a device.

That's this thin and this light, and although the back cover is plastic or glass, stick as Samsung likes to call it, it doesn't feel like a cheap phone to me now. Let's talk about some of the other features that I think you guys will really like here and one of them being the fact that it's running on android 11 straight out of the box, which means anybody, who's used, a Samsung device or any other android device in the past will feel at home here with the operating system. But here's where you can make it your own. This phone has the latest Realme UI 2.0, which is a skin on top of android, and it brings a ton of customization tweaks that you can play around with and again. This is something that companies like Apple will.

Never ever let you do so. It's really great that they give you this kind of freedom. Here, the screens 90 hertz, refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming really nice and smooth. It does adapt on the fly. So when you don't need that 90 hertz refresh rate, it will scale that back in order to save battery the brightness output is very respectable, and the colors and detail on the screen are really nice.

Thanks to that, 409 pixels per inch Samsung super AMOLED display and the display is not the only thing that they've borrowed from Samsung. Let's talk cameras, so here are some photos taken on the Realme 8 pro side by side with photos taken on the iPhone 12 Pro max and the Samsung Galaxy s21. Can you pick the Realme 8 pro photos out of this lineup, I'm going to give you a moment to look at these and make your decision so here's what they actually are? Let me know if you guessed that one right and here are some more photos. I took on the three phones, so you can see how the Realme 8 pro, compares to these very expensive flagship devices, they're four times the price, but are they four times better when it comes to camera quality? Let me know in the comments below, so I think you'll agree what you're getting here is very close to flagship level cameras, but on a phone that costs a quarter of the price and Realme of taking this up a notch with some camera software features that enhances their shooters firepower, for example, because you have this 108 megapixel sensor behind the primary shooter, you can do a 3x digital zoom without losing any details. Just by cropping in it's still capturing a very sharp picture, then you've got the latest version of ultra nights cape for nighttime.

Photography, which works pretty well as well. You've got a macro lens which is quite fun to play around with, and you can shoot in the full 108 megapixels. If you want to there's also a starry mode for Castro photography, and I heard that there will be a tilt shift mode as well. So all in all the Realme 8 pro is an all-rounder, but it does have a couple of strong suits, one of them being photography, the other one being the design. This is unique, very eye-catching.

If you want to stand out in a crowd. This is the way to go. I am planning on testing out the other camera features and testing this against other phones. Let me know if you want to see a full comparison with this versus the iPhone 12 Pro max and the Samsung s21.
