The upcoming Realme 8 series has been expected for a while, but it seems that we've finally got an official announcement date. Realme recently released a video starring Madhav Sheth, the VP of Realme and CEO of Realme India and Europe. In the video, Sheth teases that a camera phone with a 108MP sensor will "go live on 24th March".

This 108MP camera phone is expected to be included in the Realme 8 series, which is rumored to include a standard and a Pro variant. While the standard Realme 8 is set to have a 64MP sensor, the Realme 8 Pro is due to feature the 108MP sensor instead.

There's not much information available about these upcoming camera phones. However, rumor website GSMArena states that we can expect both handsets to feature quad rear camera units. Apparently, both the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro will also feature large "Dare to Leap" text that was recently seen on the Realme X7 Pro.

The only other information currently circulating about these upcoming handsets comes once again from Madhav Sheth. He recently posted a photo on Twitter (above) showing that the standard Realme 8 will come with a Helio G95 chipset, a 6.4"AMOLED screen, a 5,000 mAh battery and 30W charging.

It seems that we'll have to wait until to find out more official information about these two upcoming handsets. However, with an official announcement date of 24 March, it won't be too long until we discover more exciting information about the Realme 8 and the Realme 8 Pro.
