AMOLED on a strict budget, again.
realme 8 brought Super AMOLED to a $200 phone — a year before the segment normalised it — and added a 64 MP main and 30 W charging on the dependable Helio G95. The 60 Hz cap was the give-back; for buyers who valued the panel over a smoother refresh, it landed well.
