Realme 8 5G has just a bit better looking display than Galaxy A8 Star, because it has a just a little higher pixel amount per screen inch, a little bit larger screen and a little higher 1080 x 2400 resolution. Samsung Galaxy A8 Star features a little better processing power than realme 8 5G, and although they both have the same number of cores, the Samsung Galaxy A8 Star also has a higher amount of RAM memory.

The realme 8 5G shoots a little bit better pictures and videos than Samsung Galaxy A8 Star, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not recommended for shooting images and videos in poorly lited environments, and they both have the same video quality and the same video frame rates, the realme 8 5G also counts with a back facing camera with much more mega pixels.
