The Realme GT2 series contains the first premium flagship released by Realme, known as the Realme GT 2 Pro. But there is another variant that is being eclipsed by this top-tier flagship: the Realme GT 2. Besides not being the most advanced phone from the brand, the vanilla version is still an amazing handset providing an incredibly high quality price ratio, and we think it is being underestimated. In order to let you understand the differences between the new handsets, we decided to compare the specifications of the Realme GT 2 Pro to the ones of the GT 2. In this comparison, you will hopefully discover which device has the highest value for money according to your actual needs.

Design

The designs of the Realme GT 2 and the Realme GT 2 Pro are not so different. The only difference is the position of the elements in the camera module: there is more distance between the sensors on the vanilla version, while the Pro variant looks more attractive because the cameras are closer to each other, more similar to a lot of other flagship phones. Both the phones come in two special variants designed by the known Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa and built with a bio-polymer that resembles the touch and feel of real paper. There are also a few additional variants with standard glass backs, for those who do not like this sustainable bio-polymer. But Realme recommends it because it reduces the carbon emissions during the production process and it helps to respect the environment.

 

 

Display

One of the most important advantages of the Realme GT 2 Pro is the presence of a better, flagship-class display. Its panel is at the same level as the one found on the most advanced flagships by OPPO and OnePlus: the OPPO Find X5 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an AMOLED display with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and the HDR10+ certification. It is definitely a stunning panel with great color accuracy and a very high level of detail. The Realme GT 2 has a lower-end AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+, but it is still a great panel.

 

Specs & Software

The Realme GT 2 Pro is fueled by the brand new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform: the best chipset by Qualcomm. It is actually a big upgrade if compared to the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform found on the Realme GT 2, which is the flagship chipset by Qualcomm released in 2021. Both provide flagship-class performance thanks to their high-end chipset, but if you need the fastest phone with the highest GPU performance, then you have to go for the Pro variant. In both cases, you get Android 12 out of the box, customized by Realme UI 3.0. These phones will get three major Android updates and four years of security patches. Is it enough for you?

 

Camera

Another difference between these two handsets is in the camera department. Both come with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera supporting OIS, but the secondary sensors are different. The Realme GT 2 packs an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera: nothing special, you can get these sensors on most of the midrange phones out there. The Pro variant replaces them with a great 50 MP Sony IMX766 ultrawide sensor and a 3 MP microscope lens with great magnification. Further, the Pro comes with a better 32 MP front camera for selfies.

 

Battery

The battery capacities of these two phones are exactly the same: 5000 mAh. So expect a similar battery life, maybe something more on the Pro variant because it has more efficient components (LTPO 2.0 display and 5 nm chipset).

 

Price

The Realme GT 2 sells for €549/$603 globally, while the Realme GT 2 Pro starts from €749/$822. Now that you know all the differences, which one would you pick?
