Design

The Honor X40 GT and the POCO F4 GT come with a very gaming-centric design, it is easy to notice. With the POCO, you also get physical pop-up gaming triggers able to enhance your gaming experience. The Realme GT 2 has a traditional design, more elegant and sober, and it comes in two color variants made of a material similar to the paper in terms of touch and feel. If you are a gamer, do you prefer phones with gaming-centric designs or a more traditional device?

Display

The most convincing display belongs to the POCO F4 GT. It has a great AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The silver medal goes to the Realme GT 2 packing a 6.62-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Honor X40 GT has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but it disappoints because it sports an IPS LCD panel instead of an AMOLED display.

Specs & Software

If your goal is to get the most powerful hardware department, then you should opt for the POCO F4 GT. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. With the Realme GT 2 and the Honor X40 GT, you can get the same memory configuration but with an inferior Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm, running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz. These devices run Android 12 out of the box and we expect them to get at least two major Android updates (three for the GT 2 by Realme).

Camera

The most advanced camera phone in this comparison is the Realme GT 2. It has a triple camera setup composed of a main 50 MP sensor (a Sony IMX766 sensor) with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, a 2 MP macro shooter, and a 16 MP front camera. It is the only one from this trio to sport optical stabilization. The Honor X40 GT is disappointing: it has a 50 MP main camera without OIS and it lacks an ultrawide lens, replaced by a pair of 2 MP sensors for macro and depth calculation. The POCO F4 GT sits right in the middle with a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide shooter, a 2 MP macro lens, and a 20 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

The Realme GT 2 has the biggest battery, with a capacity of 5000 mAh: it should last more in several scenarios. The POCO F4 GT has the fastest charging technology, with a power of 120W.

Price

The Honor X40 GT starts from €300/$300, the POCO F4 GT carries a €480/$480 starting price, and the Realme GT 2 is available for less than €400/$400 (prices vary depending on the market). Which one would you pick?
