The Realme GT Neo2 Dragon Ball Z Limited Edition is Realme’s innovative attempt at bringing your childhood anime nostalgia to a 2021 smartphone. Paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the limited-edition smartphone went on its first sale in China on January 7 at a promotional price of RMB 2699, equivalent to 424 USD.
Dragon Ball is one of the best-known Japanese Anime on this planet. And clearly, we’ve been waiting for this edition for so long. Over the years, Realme has earned a reputation for bringing unique designs on its smartphones, so today we’re quite excited to bring you the unboxing and first hands-on with the GT Neo2 DBZ limited edition.
To start off, let’s see what we get inside the box.
This limited-edition model comes with heavily customized packaging. On the surface of the box, you can see three images of the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball Z series — Goku, shown in three states, as an adult, super Saiyan, and super Saiyan 3. And on the side, there’s an interesting detail of the Dragon-ball Radar, which is used to find the location of the dragon balls.
Open the box, and you will get a cover printed with Goku in super Sayan 3 and the strongest opponent of Dragon Ball Z, Kid Buu.
And it comes with a wealth of character stickers and a collection card of the Dragon. This is truly a wonderful gift for DBZ fans. I clearly remember in my childhood I was always fascinated with the concept of dragons and even wished they existed in this world. And I always thought it would be even better if it was a dragon from the planet Namiak.
Under the cover, you’ll find the limited-edition phone. It features a glass back with an orange and blue paint job in a matte finish. The frame of the device is also blue-painted, which reminds us of the overalls worn by Goku. But to be honest, the color scheme looks a bit strange and is not very close to the original tone of the anime.
The most obvious customized detail is the famous ‘Wisdom’ Kanji alongside the phone’s camera module, which is a signature symbol of Goku throughout the entire anime. Apart from the design, the phone is no different from the standard version of the Realme GT Neo 2. Despite having ‘GT’ in the name of the phone, the entire custom look of the limited edition is based on Goku’s character from Z series instead of the later GT TV-series.
Unfortunately, after this sim-card pin that’s inspired by the four-star Dragon Ball, there are no more customized accessories in the package. The charging kit is the same as what we found in the standard version.
Now, let’s look at its software. The lock screen also has the character, themes, and custom icons inspired by the anime. And when you activate the GT mode for the best performance, it will give you a short anime scene showing seven dragon balls have been collected, and you’re just summoning the dragon. In addition, when you use the included 65W charger for charging, the display will bring an animated effect that looks like Goku gathering energy back. And when the phone gets fully charged, Goku in the background will transform into a Super Saiyan.
Although as a fan of Dragon Ball, I wished I could see more customizations, I’m still happy to actually have it in my hand, especially considering this is the first time we are seeing a customized phone of Dragon Ball Z.
Hey Realme, make sure to continue this cooperation, okay?
