Honor closed 2022 with a brand new flagship killer perfect for gamers and power users: the Honor 80 GT. It is a device with an amazing level of performance offered at an affordable price. Just like the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition released earlier this year with flagship-class hardware. Here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition and the Honor 80 GT. We decided to compare the new Honor flagship killer with the old Realme one for an important reason: despite Honor releasing the flagship at the end of this year, it still ships with Android 12 out of the box instead of Android 13. That is the reason why it is a perfect rival of the GT 2 Explorer Master Edition.

Design

The Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition has a very original design and it wins the design comparison. Its aesthetics are reminiscent of a travel trunk and the phone is built with premium materials: you can choose between a ceramic back or an eco leather back, alongside an aluminum frame. It is one of the most original phones released this year and also one of the phones with the highest screen to body ratio. The Honor 80 GT still comes with an original design, but there is no way for it to compete if we talk about aesthetics in general, so you should definitely go for the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition if you are looking for the most beautiful phone.

Display

The displays of these two phones are very similar to each other, but it looks like the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition has a slightly better panel. It is an OLED display able to show images with up to one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. Honor GT has an AMOLED display with one billion colors, 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 scanner. Note that the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition is also the only phone of the duo with stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

The Honor 80 GT is the phone featuring the best hardware here. Both phones are powered by the best chipset: the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 by Qualcomm. But on the Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition, the SoC has a higher clock frequency: 3.2 GHz, because the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is underclocked at just 3 GHz on the Honor 80 GT. On the other hand, with the Honor 80 GT, you can actually get a higher amount of RAM: up to 16 GB, as well as 256 GB of native storage. Talking about the software, the Realme GT Master Explorer Edition ships with Android 12 and Realme UI 3.0, while the Honor 80 GT runs Android 12 with Magic UI 7 on top. We consider the Realme UI 3.0 as a more advanced user interface, for now.

Camera

The Realme GT 2 Explorer Master Edition offers better camera hardware. It has a triple rear camera including a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main sensor with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 3 MP microlens with 40x magnification. With the Honor 80 GT, you actually get a 54 MP main sensor without optical stabilization, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera.

Battery

Last but not least, is the battery. On the Realme GT Explorer Master Edition, the battery is bigger, with a capacity of 5000 mAh instead of just 4800 mAh. This means that the battery life will be longer on a single charge. It is also able to charge quicker with 100W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition in China is roughly $509/€476, while the Honor 80 GT starts from about $482/€450 in the Chinese market. None of these phones went global.

OPPO Reno8 Pro just debuted in the global market: the Global version is actually a rebrand of the device known in China as the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus. A few days before, Realme launched a new flagship placed in the same price range: the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition. It is not a top-tier flagship, just like the Reno, but it is placed exactly in the middle between the Realme GT 2 and the GT 2 Pro. That is also a reason why it is a perfect competitor for the new Reno8 Pro. So should you go for the Realme flagship killer or choose the OPPO high-end? This is a comparison between the specifications of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition and the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global which will let you find out.

Design

These phones come with a very original design. The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition comes in a color option resembling a travel trunk, with a back cover made of leather and a brown aluminum frame. It is very beautiful and distinctive, and in case you do not like it, there are other standard color variants. The OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is a more traditional phone in terms of design, but it is made with premium materials: it has a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a front glass protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5. Further, it is thinner and lighter than the Realme flagship killer, with a thickness of just 7.3 mm and a weight of just 183 grams. Both these handsets come with a very high screen to body ratio: the display takes more than 90 percent of the front side and even the chin is very thin, as thin as the other three bezels.

 

Display

It looks like the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global and the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition are equipped with the same display. That is the reason why, if you are evaluating these two phones, you should focus on the remaining specifications. Coming back to the displays, they are AMOLED panels with a diagonal of 6.7 inches able to show up to one billion colors thanks to a 10-bit color depth. They sport a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, a peak brightness of 950 nits, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. We are not talking about the most advanced panel out there, but it still belongs to the high-end segment with amazing color reproduction and a high refresh rate. The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition and the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global are equipped with stereo speakers, but they do not have a 3.5 mm audio jack.

 

Specs & Software

The king of hardware in this comparison is the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition, which is also one of the most powerful phones out there. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform: currently, it is the best processor by Qualcomm. It is an octa-core chipset built at 4 nm and composed of a Cortex X2 CPU running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 CPUs running at 2.75 GHz, and four Cortex A510 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as an Adreno 730 GPU. The OPPO Reno8 Pro is fueled by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform: an upgraded variant of the Dimensity 8100 with better AI capabilities. It is a chipset built at 5 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of four Cortex A78 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G610 MC6 GPU. Both the handsets run Android 12 out of the box, but the ColorOS 12.1 found on the OPPO Reno8 Pro is a bit more advanced than the Realme UI 3.0.

 

Camera

When it comes to the main camera, the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is a more interesting phone because it is supported by the MariSilicon X proprietary NPU achieving better image quality in night photography and videos. On the other hand, the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition has a better ultrawide sensor with a 50 MP resolution (instead of a poor 8 MP one). Last but not least, the Reno has a superior 32 MP selfie shooter.

 

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition has a bigger battery and, alongside its efficient chipset, it provides a longer battery life. It even supports a faster charging technology with a power of 100W. The OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is thinner but it has a smaller 4500 mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

 

Price

The OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is priced at Rs. 45,999 / $580 in India, while the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is supposed to hit the Indian market with an Rs. 41,000 / $518 starting price. If so, Realme will offer a higher value for money.
