Realme 8 series will debut on March 24 in India, company CEO Madhav Sheth has teased through a promo video. The Realme 8 series has been in the news for quite some time now and while the CEO did not share exactly which smartphone it will be unveiling on the date, it is believed to be the Realme 8 series. Further, Sheth also shared that said product will feature a 108-megapixel camera, which was teased by the CEO once before for the Realme 8 series.

A video posted on Realme India's YouTube channel – which you can watch below – has Sheth racing on Buddh International Circuit. It reveals a new product will be launching on March 24 and while the video doesn't clearly state what the company will launch, Sheth at the end says, “Do you guys ever dare to capture infinity? If not, Realme challenged you to capture infinity with 108-megapixel camera.” This suggests the company will unveil the Realme 8 series on March 24 and one of the phones in the series will feature a 108-megapixel rear camera.

This isn't the first time a 108-megapixel camera has been teased for the Realme 8 series. Last month, the CEO shared on Twitter the Realme 8 series will come with a 108-megapixel camera but did not reveal which model it will be. Then, specifications of the vanilla Realme 8 were teased by the company confirming a 64-megapixel primary rear camera sensor, along with some other specifications, which means the Realme 8 Pro will feature the 108-megapixel rear camera.

It may run Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 out-of-the-box. On the other hand, the non-Pro variant will come with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, MediaTek Helio G95 SoC, and 5,000mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging.
