While the differences are fairly small between the two phones, they make the phones suited for specific types of users. The Realme 8 is geared towards higher performance and better visuals whilst leaving out 5G support, whereas the Realme 8 5G is all about 5G capability and affordability.

More for the buyer who just wants a reliable phone that keeps up with the basics without too much trouble, the Realme 7 isn’t going to win any awards. However, what it offers -- and the price they ask for it -- is perfectly acceptable.
