Realme 8s 5G Overview:

Starting with the display, the 8s 5G flaunts a 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution and a 90.5% screen-to-body ratio. The screen has a peak brightness of 600 nits, and a 90Hz refresh rate. On to the design, it comes with a rectangular camera module at the back and a punch-hole cutout on the front.
