The Realme Neo 8 introduces a transparent cyber-inspired rear panel finished in a new “Cyber Purple” colour. The see-through back highlights internal patterns designed to give the phone a more tech-forward personality.

On the right side of the camera housing, the signature Awakening Halo lighting feature makes a return, adding a visual highlight during notifications and charging. One of the most eye-catching details is the “120X” marking near the camera module, suggesting the presence of a periscope telephoto lens capable of extended zoom.

Realme has also confirmed that the Neo 8 will move away from plastic construction, with all variants featuring a metal frame paired with a glass back, improving both durability and in-hand feel.

The phone is tipped to house an 8,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. Camera details remain limited, but reports suggest a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor. If pricing trends continue, the Realme Neo 8 could debut at 2,500 Yuan (~$360), making it a strong contender in its segment.
