Design

If we do not consider the Pac-Man Edition of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G, the Realme GT Neo2 has a more suggestive design with its creative color variants NEO Blue and NEO Green. But if you love Pac-Man, then you should definitely go for the Pac-Man Edition of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G sporting a glow in the dark design with the famous Pac-Man labyrinth hidden under the rear cover. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G also offers an additional advantage: it is more compact, thinner, and lighter than Realme GT Neo2 because it packs a smaller display and a smaller battery.

 

Display

The Realme GT Neo2 not only comes with a wider display (6.62 inches vs 6.43 inches) but also provides a better viewing experience. It comes with a higher refresh rate as it goes up to 120 Hz. However, for the rest, it does not differ so much from the OnePlus Nord 2 5G in terms of image quality. The remaining main specifications are the same: a Full HD+ resolution, the AMOLED technology, and an in-display fingerprint reader. These phones are also equipped with stereo speakers which can give you a good audio experience. Unfortunately, none of them features a 3.5 mm audio jack, so you have to buy either an adapter or use true wireless earbuds.

 

Specs & Software

If you need higher performances because you are a hardcore gamer, you must choose the Realme GT Neo2 because it is powered by a stronger processor: the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. You can get exactly the same memory configuration with the OnePlus Nord 2 5G, but the processor is weaker: we are talking about a Dimensity 1200 by Mediatek which is built with a better 6 nm production process, but it has lower CPU and GPU performance. The handsets run Android 11 out of the box and, despite they come with different UIs, the UX is very similar because OxygenOS is starting to be integrated with the ColorOS just like the Realme UI.

 

Camera

The best camera experience is offered by the OnePlus Nord 2 5G simply because it packs a better main camera on the rear side: it is a Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS and a 50 MP resolution, the same you can find on devices like OnePlus 9 Pro and OPPO Find X3 Pro. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is even equipped with a better front camera sporting a 32 MP resolution, while Realme GT Neo2 has just 16 MP on the front.

 

 

Battery

The Realme GT Neo2 is the winner of the battery comparison because it packs a bigger battery: the capacity is 5000 mAh, while OnePlus Nord 2 5G has just 4500 mAh. Both the phones support 65W fast charging which needs from 30 to 36 minutes to bring their batteries from 0 to 100 percent.

 

Price

The Realme GT Neo2 has a starting price of €449/$508 discounted at €369/$418 for the Black Friday period in the 8/128 GB configuration. The same configuration of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G carries a price tag of €399/$450. Overall, the Realme GT Neo2 wins the comparison because of its amazing chipset, superior display, and bigger battery, but the OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a better camera phone.
