It’s confirmed: Realme will launch the first smartphone in the world to use a MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chip. And the unit in question is said to be the Realme 8s.

(Update, September 9: The Realme 8s 5G has been launched as the world’s first Dimensity 810 5G phone!)

Recall that the Dimensity 810 was announced alongside the Dimensity 920 almost three weeks ago. It’s a 6nm-based SoC that the chipmaker says offers “Arm Cortex-A76 CPU speeds up to 2.4GHz, premium camera features including artistic AI-color in collaboration with Arcsoft, and advanced noise-reduction techniques for superb low-light photography.”

Now, while Realme stopped short of mentioning the name of the phone, there was already a leak that came out last month claiming the existence of a Dimensity 810 5G-powered Realme 8s, even before the processor became official.
