Realme 8 vs Redmi Note 10 Pro: Specifications
Performance
Although both phones come with nearly identical specifications, the Realme 8 loses out majorly due to its MediaTek Helio G95 chipset. While it is a competent piece of hardware in its own right, it falls flat against the Redmi Note 10 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G across the board, although not by a lot. This is due to the fact that the Snapdragon 732G two Kryo Gold cores’ slightly higher clock speeds (2.3GHz). In contrast, the Helio G95 uses two ARM Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. However, the MediaTek Helio G95’s ‘efficiency Cortex-A55 cores are clocked higher, (2.0GHz vs 1.8GHz) so it could do better in some low-power tasks. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 732G’s Adreno 618 GPU is also faster than the Helio G95’s ARM Mali-G76 MC4. Qualcomm chipsets also come with some bonus features such as support for aptX and the likes.
Display
The Redmi Note 10 Pro is the clear winner here because of its larger 6.7-inch AMOLED screen clocked at 120Hz. It is also HDR10 certified and has a peak brightness of 1,200 nits. While the Realme 8 also features a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, its peak brightness is a tad lower at 1,000nits. Furthermore, its refresh rate is significantly lower at 60Hz. HDR10 support is absent, too.
Camera
The Redmi Note 10 Pro and Realme 8 come with a near-identical camera configuration. The former does, however, have a slightly better piece of hardware. Both phones have a primary 64MP sensor and 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and 2MP depth sensor. The Redmi Note 10 Pro uses a 5MP macro lens instead of the 2MP sensor on the Realme 8. Lastly, both smartphones feature a 16MP selfie camera. It is hard to determine just which camera is better. It all boils down to the software optimisations provided by RealmeUI and MIUI 12.
Battery, software and other features
Both the Realme 8 and Redmi Note 10 Pro pack a 5,000mAh battery. However, the Redmi Note 10 Pro supports 33W fast charging, while the Realme 10 cuts that down to 30W. The extra 3W means little in real-world performance, though. Similarly, both phones run Android 11 out of the box, customised with the company’s in-house Android forks. Wireless connectivity features are identical across both phones too, such as dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 However, the Redmi Note 10 Pro does come with a handy (and often neglected) IR Blaster. One can use that with the Mi Remote app to control household appliances such as TVs and ACs.
Realme 8 vs Redmi Note 10 Pro: Conclusion
In the light of its shortcomings compared to the Redmi Note 10 Pro, it is hard to recommend the Realme 8. However, the Realme 8 does have an in-display fingerprint sensor compared to the Redmi Note 10’s side-mounted alternative. But that isn’t nearly enough to bridge the wide gap between the two phones.
