Realme 8 Pro costs Rs 17,999 but you can grab it for Rs 12,599, here is how

Realme 8 Pro is now on sale in India via Flipkart and Realme online store but this scheme is available only on Flipkart.

Realme 8 Pro went official just yesterday. It is Realme’s first 108-megapixel camera phone that is making a noise, and rightly so. Realme 8 Pro is among the few affordable smartphones that bring the 108-megapixel camera -- which we have previously seen on flagship phones -- down to the under Rs 20,000 segment. The Realme 8 Pro costs Rs 17,999, which is Rs 1,000 less than what you would pay for the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (Rs 18,999). But there is a programme run by Realme where you just need to pay only Rs 12,599 for the new 8 Pro. This programme is called the Realme Upgrade and it is essentially a personalised version of Flipkart’s Smart Upgrade and available only on Flipkart. What this programme does is it allows you to buy a new Realme smartphone by paying just 70 per cent of the total cost. The rest 30 per cent is discounted as a part of the scheme. But there is a catch here. You get to use this new phone for 12 months for 70 per cent of the price. After 12 months are over, you will have two choices -- upgrade to the next phone and pay 70 per cent of its total price and return the existing phone, or-- retain your current phone by paying the remaining 30 per cent.
