Realme Neo 8 Spotted on TENAA With 165Hz AMOLED Display and Massive 8000mAh Battery

The Realme Neo 8 is shaping up to be one of those phones that refuses to play it safe. The device has been spotted on the certification platform of China just before its official debut and the details look bold enough to make its competitors uncomfortable.

When the majority of brands are still arguing over 5000mah battery and 120Hz display, Realme appears ready to push things further. And this time, the leaks feel solid, not speculative noise.

Realme Neo 8 TENAA listing 

The biggest confirmation comes from the TENAA listing, where the phone appears under model number RMX8899. These listings are rarely wrong, and this one reveals almost everything.

According to the certification:

• 6.78-inch AMOLED display
• 1.5K resolution (2772 × 1272 pixels)
• Triple rear camera setup
• 7,750mAh rated battery (marketed as 8,000mAh)

This is not only a spec bump. It is Realme signaling that battery anxiety should no longer exist in 2026.

Realme Neo 8 display 

Realme has officially teased the display, and it is clear that the brand wants you to notice it first. The Realme Neo 8 will have a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel built using Samsung’s latest M14 OLED materials.

Here is why that matters:

• Better brightness with lower power consumption
• Longer display lifespan
• Flagship-grade viewing experience

The panel is capable of supporting 165Hz refresh rate, which is frankly overkill for the common users, but that is exactly the point.

Realme is chasing performance enthusiasts, gamers, and power users who want no compromises. Add to that an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, and crystal-coated protective glass, and the phone starts feeling luxurious in every sense.

The bezels are reportedly symmetrical, with rounded corners that give the front a clean, balanced look.

Realme Neo 8 performance 

The Realme Neo 8 is confirmed to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, and benchmarks already suggest an AnTuTu score crossing 3.5 million. That  is serious flagship territory.

Memory options are where Realme really flexes:

• 8GB, 12GB, 16GB, and even 24GB RAM
• Storage options up to 1TB

There is no microSD card support, however with these numbers, very few users will complain. The phone will come with Android 16 and Realme UI 7 that is supposed to be optimized for high-refresh displays and heavy multitasking.

Realme Neo 8 camera setup

Realme appears to be aiming at practical optics, rather than chasing unnecessary megapixel wars. The Realme Neo 8 is listed with the following:

• 50MP primary camera with OIS
• 8MP ultra-wide sensor
• 50MP periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom
• 16MP front camera

This setup feels balanced. Not gimmicky. Not overhyped. Just practical for everyday photography and video.

Realme Neo 8 battery expectations

This is the headline feature. A phone this powerful paired with an 8,000mAh battery is rare. Add 80W fast charging, and suddenly, charging anxiety feels outdated.

Yes, the phone has a weight of approximately 215 grams. However, it is a trade-off that most users will gladly accept for two-day battery life.

Realme Neo 8 launch and design details

Realme Neo 8 is confirmed to be launched in China soon, with pre-reservations are already live. Teasers show a Cyber Purple finish with a transparent back and RGB halo lighting near the camera module.

It’s flashy. It’s bold. And it clearly is not trying to blend in.

Realme Neo 8 Launch Date 

The Realme Neo 8 launch date is now official. Realme has confirmed that the phone will debut in China on January 22 at 7 PM local time (4:30 PM IST). The announcement was made via Weibo, putting an end to weeks of speculation.

Interestingly, Realme had earlier teased the device on January 12 but stopped short of a full reveal. That move now feels deliberate, a slow burn to build hype. The phone will launch alongside Realme Buds Air 8, making it a proper ecosystem push.

As a successor to the Realme Neo 7 (launched in December 2024), expectations are naturally high, and based on confirmed specs, Realme seems confident.

Why the Neo 8 Changes Everything

The Realme Neo 8 is not another incremental upgraded device. It feels like Realme deliberately crosses lines, bigger battery, faster display, higher RAM ceilings. If pricing remains competitive, this phone could seriously disrupt the upper mid-range and affordable flagship segment.

Sometimes, leaks disappoint. This one doesn’t.
