Realme will be launching its highly anticipated flagship – the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition in China this Tuesday, July 12th at 2 pm Beijing Time (GMT +8) / 11:30 am Indian Time (GMT +5:30) / 7 am London Time (GMT +1).
The launch event will be live streamed across the brand’s official website in China. Currently, the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is expected to be a China-exclusive device like last year’s first-generation Realme GT Master Explorer Edition as well. This means that the device will not be coming to the global market.
The brand has been sharing teasers about its upcoming Realme GT 2 MEE flagship, and leaks and details about the smartphone have also appeared on Chinese certification portals as well. In today’s article, we have compiled all the details we have known about the flagship so far.
Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition Specs
The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will be the brand’s first flagship to sport Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC.
This SoC boasts up to 10% of improved CPU and GPU performance, as well as 30% better power efficiency over the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on devices like the Xiaomi 12 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro and Realme GT 2 Pro launched earlier this year. Qualcomm attributes most of the hardware improvements to it switching over to TSMC’s industry-leading 4nm manufacturing process instead of Samsung’s 4nm node.
The Realme GT 2 MEE is also the world’s first smartphone to feature LPDDR5X RAM memory. The new LPDDR5X technology is advertised to further improve power efficiency as it consumes 20% less energy than its LPDDR5 cousin with equivalent performance. Based on an earlier Chinese JD.com marketplace listing, we also know that the Realme GT 2 MEE will be available with either 6 GB / 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM paired with 128 GB / 256 GB / 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
With all the power efficiency talk, Realme has also revealed that the Realme GT 2 MEE is equipped with an enormous 5,000 mAh battery equipped with 100W fast wired charging support. And the best part is that the company has managed to keep the smartphone in a slim and lightweight profile at only 8.2mm in thickness and 195 grams.
Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition Screen and Design
The screen of the Realme GT 2 MEE is what you would expect on a 2022 Android flagship: a 6.7-inch flat AMOLED Display with a centred punch hole, FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and under-screen optical fingerprint reader.
Design-wise, the company has revealed that the Realme GT 2 MEE will be available in a leather gold colourway, with reinforced metal rivets across the sides of the flagship to give it a more industrial look. And from an earlier TENAA listing, we also know that the device will also arrive in a matte black glass colour option as well.
The triple camera setup forms a triangle-shaped island like the OnePlus Ace / OnePlus 10R and is housed at the top left corner of the rear panel. It features the well-known Sony IMX766 50MP main sensor, an unknown 50MP ultra-wide angle lens and 2MP macro lens.
Lastly, the device is expected to come with Realme UI 3.0 with Android 12 out of the box.
