Realme 8 Price Slashed – But Why?
Realme Mobiles have not given any official statement as to why they have reduced the prices. But, it seems that this is the effect of Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S‘ aggressive pricing. Just yesterday, Xiaomi launched the new Redmi Note 10S in India at a starting price of Rs. 14,999 for the base 6GB + 64GB variant. Both these new smartphones are evenly matched in multiple parameters and so it seems that Realme wants to lure buyers towards its smartphone by giving them the Realme 8 at a discounted price for some period of time. Also, it’s worth mentioning that the Realme 8 5G and the Realme 8 Pro have not got any price benefits.
