Realme 8 5G 6/128GB Black

If the Realme 8 5G is described as refurbished, it means it is not a factory new phone, but a previously used device that has been checked, tested, and refreshed so it works properly and is ready for another owner. On our platform, refurbishment is done by our partners, so the phone may show minor signs of use, and we cannot promise it will look and feel exactly like a brand new device or that every part will be original. It is also worth knowing that after refurbishment we cannot guarantee the original water resistance, even if the manufacturer advertised it for the phone when it was new.

Realme is a Chinese consumer electronics company best known for smartphones, but it also builds a wider lineup of connected devices and accessories. The brand launched in 2018 and has strong historical ties to OPPO, including being founded by a former OPPO executive and operating within the wider BBK linked ecosystem. Realme comes from China and is headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong.

To turn off the Realme 8 5G, press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up button together until the power menu appears, then select “Power off”. If you would rather have a long press on the Power button open the power menu instead of Google Assistant, you can change that setting in the power button options and switch it back to the power menu.

On a Realme 8 5G, you can check battery health in a practical way using a couple of methods. First, go to Settings, then Battery, and review usage stats and power management information, because it often shows whether the phone is draining faster than it used to. If you want more technical battery details, open the dialer and enter ##4636## to access Android’s hidden testing menu, then open the battery information section. For an estimated health percentage and a longer term view of capacity changes, a reliable battery monitoring app can also provide a useful approximation based on charging data.

Realme does not apply one single support length to every phone, because it varies by series and model. For many years, a common baseline for a lot of Realme devices has been about 2 major Android version upgrades and around 3 years of security patches, especially on mid range and entry models. More recently, Realme has started extending its policy for selected lines, with some newer models now getting 3 major Android updates and 4 years of security updates, and certain higher end releases publicly promising even longer security support. The safest approach is to check the exact model you are looking at, since the promise can differ even within the same lineup.
