With 5G technology yet to turn into a reality in the country, Realme’s initiative to bring both 4G and 5G ready devices is a nice take to attract its user-base. That said, the purported Realme 8 5G with model number Realme RMX3241 was recently certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and US’ FCC. As per reports, the device is listed on the Peruvian MTC certification as well.

As per the FCC listing, the phone will pack a 5,000mAh battery and run realme UI 2.0 based Android 11. The phone is expected to carry a MediaTek 700 5G mobile platform. Details about the Realme 8 Pro 5G aren’t available yet.

To recall, Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro made their debut in India on March 29. The highlight of the new Realme 8 series was the huge 108-megapixel camera sensor on the Realme 8 Pro. While the Pro variant came with a Snapdragon 720G SoC, the standard model equipped a MediaTek Helio G95 processor. Both the devices sport a punch-hole cutout 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, Android 11 OS, up to 8GB of RAM.
