Realme 8 Pro in-display fingerprint sensor has been confirmed by the brand’s India head on Twitter. This also means it will come with an AMOLED display instead of an LCD panel. The tweet reads “User convenience is our top priority,” with the attached video clip showing the in-display fingerprint sensor in action. It also reveals the front design of the phone with a punch-hole cutout at the top-left corner and a sizeable bezel below the screen. The volume rocker and power button are on the right spine. It’s already known the back panel will have the ‘Dare to Leap’ tagline etched in bold and a quad-camera set up in a square housing with a 108MP primary sensor. The Realme 8 Pro will ship in a gradient Blue hue, but there will likely be other choices at launch.
