Realme launched two new smartphones in India on Wednesday including the Realme 8 and the Realme 8 Pro.

A new report now suggests that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is working on a 5G version of the Realme 8. The device is tipped to launch sooner than expected.
Reported first by MySmartPrice, the Realme 8 5G has been certified by India’s BIS and Thailand’s NBTC with model number RMX3241. Unfortunately, besides the model number, none of the certification websites reveal specification details related to the smartphone. While we know very little about the Realme 8 5G smartphone, the BIS listing suggests the India launch is imminent.
