Motorola surprised a lot of people by launching a very powerful flagship killer in the global market earlier this month. We are talking about the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra: it is essentially a rebrand of the Motorola Moto X30 Pro, but it is the first Ultra phone from the Lenovo-owned brand and it packs amazing specifications for everyone. However, in the global market, there are already several amazing flagship killers which reached very interesting street prices. We are obviously talking about the ones released in the first half of this year, such as the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro. Do they offer higher value for money? If you need to find out, check this comparison between the main specifications of the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the Realme GT 2 Pro.

OnePlus 10 Pro vs Realme GT 2 Pro

Design

The designs of the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra and OnePlus 10 Pro look more elegant due to the presence of curved displays. They are also built with premium materials, such as glass for the rear side and aluminum for the frame. The Realme GT 2 Pro has a flat display and a rear side made of a bio-polymer, so you should not expect the most amazing build quality, even though the material is unique in its genre and it resembles the touch and feel of the real paper. I personally prefer the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra due to its good look and more compact body.

Display

The OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro have the same display (if we exclude the curvature) and it is a better panel than the one found on the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. We are talking about an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.7 inches able to show up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. It is a panel similar to the ones you can currently find on the most expensive flagship phones out there. The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has a higher refresh rate of 144 Hz, but the resolution is lower and it comes with different P-OLED technology, providing an inferior quality.

Specs & Software

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra offers something more than its rivals in terms of performance because it packs a slightly better processor. We are talking about the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture 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 chipset is paired with up to 512 GB of internal storage and up to 12 GB of RAM. The Realme GT 2 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro are fueled by an inferior Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 paired with up to 256 GB of native storage and up to 12 GB of RAM. On the other hand, they have better Android customization based on OPPO’s ColorOS.

Camera

On paper, the most advanced camera setup belongs to the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. First of all, it is the world’s first device with a 200 MP rear camera, featuring OIS. Further, it has a 12 MP telephoto sensor and a 50 MP ultrawide camera. The Realme GT 2 Pro lacks a telephoto camera, replaced by a 3 MP microlens with 40x magnification. The OnePlus 10 Pro has a telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, but the main sensor is inferior with its 48 MP resolution. The Motorola also wins the selfie comparison thanks to its amazing 60 MP front camera able to record 4K videos.

Battery

The OnePlus 10 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro have a bigger battery than the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, with a capacity of 5000 mAh. So they provide longer battery life; given that they have the same hardware components, they do not differ too much from each other in terms of battery life. But the OnePlus 10 Pro features faster 80W wired charging and, unlike the Realme, it even supports wireless charging.

Price

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra launched in Europe with an €899/$899 starting price, the OnePlus 10 Pro can currently be found for less than €800/$800 with a bit of luck, and the Realme GT 2 Pro is even available for less than €700/$700. Which one would you pick?

The post Realme’s Android 13 rollout roadmap officially confirmed for India; 30 phones to receive OS upgrade appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Oppo started recruiting Open Beta testers for ColorOS 13 based on Android 13. Now, a day later, the company’s sister brand Realme has also opened registrations for a similar beta program for one of its devices.

In official announcement posts on Relame Community, Realme says that it has begun to recruit Android 13 Early Access testers for the Realme GT 2 Pro in China and India. 

For the unaware, Relame’s ‘Early Access’ program is merely a fancy name for the ‘Closed Beta’ initiative carried out by Oppo and OnePlus. Hence, software builds released for these testers are buggy in nature and may not be suitable to use on a daily driver smartphone.

Hence, enroll in the program only if you are used to unstable software. The brand has only allocated limited seats for both regions. Unfortunately, it does not mention the exact number.

Selected applicants will get the Android 13 beta update via OTA. Testers who are not satisfied with the experience of the beta software can roll back to the stable channel. However, this process will wipe the device’s internal storage and the unit cannot be enrolled again in the beta channel.

Realme is yet to officially announce its Android 13 software, which will be likely called Realme UI 4.0 and will be based on Oppo’s ColorOS 13. Whereas, another clone of Oppo’s software dubbed OxygenOS 13 was unveiled yesterday by OnePlus along with supported smartphones.

Realme launched a brand new premium flagship in the Chinese market: the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition. It came alone, without other variants, if we exclude the various color options and memory configurations. But despite being a more recent flagship, a lot of people noticed that it has a few downgrades if compared to the previous flagship Realme GT 2 Pro. That is the reason why, even though it is fueled by a stronger processor, a lot of people are wondering which of these two devices is the real top-tier flagship from the brand and which provides the highest value for money. This comparison between the specifications of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition will let you find out.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition

Design

If we consider the design, these two devices are very innovative. The Paper Green and the Paper White color variants of the Realme GT 2 Pro are built with a special bio-polymer that resembles the touch and feel of the paper. You can even draw with a pencil on the back cover and erase everything with a rubber, just like you do with a piece of paper. But despite this amazing solution, the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is even more interesting. It comes with a leather back and a metal frame reminding of a travel trunk, it sports flat borders and one of the highest screen to body ratios ever seen on a phone, with the display covering more than 90 percent of the front panel. Which one do you prefer?

Display

One of the downgrades of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is the display: it has an OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The display of the Realme GT 2 Pro has the same specifications with the exception of the resolution: on this device, it is higher. We are talking about a Quad HD+ resolution providing a higher level of detail. But that is not all: the Realme GT 2 Pro adds the LTPO 2.0 technology (adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz) lowering the energy consumption and it is able to show up to one billion colors. Last but not least, the display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus and the phone is splash resistant. Both the handsets sport stereo speakers but they have no 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

The hardware department of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is actually superior to the one found on the Realme GT 2 Pro for a simple reason: the processor. It is powered by the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform: a chipset built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X2 power core running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz, three Cortex A710 cores running at 2.75 GHz, four Cortex A510 running at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 730 GPU. It is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found on the Realme GT 2 Pro, providing better CPU performance thanks to a higher clock frequency. The best memory configuration of the Realme GT 2 Pro sports 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of native storage, while the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition stops at 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The handsets run Android 12 customized by Realme UI 3.0, they will get three years of major Android updates and four years of security patches.

Camera

The rear camera departments of these two devices are not very different. They both come with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS and a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, but the third camera is different. On the Realme GT 2 Pro, you get a 3 MP microscope sensor with 40x magnification, while the Master Explorer Edition has just a 2 MP macro camera. The Pro variant wins even when it comes to the front camera, with a 32 MP sensor instead of a 16 MP one.

Battery

These phones come with the same battery capacity: 5000 mAh. You should expect only marginal differences in terms of battery life, but the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition is able to charge quicker thanks to 100W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition in the Chinese market roughly translates into €560 or $560, while you need €699 or $699 to purchase the Realme GT 2 Pro. The Pro variant is very interesting due to its better display and front camera, but the Master Explorer Edition has a superior chipset and faster charging speeds. Which one would you pick?

Realme GT 2 Pro is arguably the best smartphone by the company. It’s a very well-rounded flagship that comes at a competitively low price. The smartphone features the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, up to 12GB RAM, a 120Hz QHD+ AMOLED LTPO display, and much more. While on the software front, it comes with a heavily-modified Android skin, dubbed Realme UI 3.0 similar to Xiaomi’s MIUI. However, if you are not a fan of this Android skin, which is understandable, and want to free yourself from its grip, you would be happy to know that the bootloader on the Realme GT 2 Pro can now be unlocked.

The Realme GT 2 Pro was launched with Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12. the BBK-owned company also recently rolled out a beta version of Android 13 for the smartphone. While most of the users do just fine with Realme’s OS, some (Hi) want to get rid of it.

Luckily, Realme is now officially allowing users to unlock the bootloader of the Realme GT 2 Pro. In fact, the company has put an official post on its forum detailing how to unlock the bootloader of the smartphone. The post takes the users through the entire process, you can check it out here.

Please note that in order to unlock the bootloader of the Realme GT 2 Pro, you will first need to put an unlocking request in a device-specific unlock app named “In-Depth Test”. The request gets approved in about 15 minutes.

Before you go down that road, know that after unlocking your phone all of your data will be erased. So, it is advisable to create a backup before you proceed. Moreover, certain functions, such as the photo-taking function of the camera may not work properly because of third-party firmware. Private data on your phone may also leak, and security might get compromised.

A couple of smartphone OEMs are going to launch Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset powered smartphones in the coming months. New information reveals that Realme may also launch an SD8G1+ flagship. Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has spilt some preliminary information about this device.

So far, Realme has launched two GT 2 series of flagship phones, such as the Realme GT 2, featuring the Snapdragon 888 SoC and the Realme GT 2 Pro, which is driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Realme may release a flagship phone in the GT 2 series that runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset.

Tipster Digital Chat Station has tentatively called Realme’s upcoming SD8G1+ flagship the Realme GT 2s Pro. He believes that it is the next strongest smartphone from the brand. He added that unlike the positioning of the Realme GT 2 Pro, the GT 2s Pro will not be an all-round upgrade.

Hence, it appears that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ could be the only major upgrade on the Realme GT 2s Pro. The GT 2 and GT 2 Pro carry support for 65W fast charging. It remains to be seen whether the Realme GT 2s Pro arrives with support for 80W fast charging. It will probably borrow most of the specs from the GT 2 Pro.

Realme GT 2 Pro specifications

The Realme GT 2 Pro has a 6.7-inch AMOLED LTPO 2.0 display that offers an QHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The device runs on the Android 12 OS and Realme UI 3.0. It has a 32-megapixel front-facing camera and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide, 150-degree), and a 3-megapixel microscope camera. The GT 2 houses a 5,000mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging.

Yesterday, Google officially announced the Android 13 Beta program at the opening day keynote of the Google I/O 2022 conference. Just like the past few years, the search giant has partnered with multiple OEMs to enable developers to try out the upcoming version of Android.

Just like last year with the Android 12 Beta initiative, a total of 12 OEMs are part of the Android 13 Beta program. The only difference is that TCL has been replaced with Lenovo this time around.

Though most companies offer Android 13 Beta for a single device, there are some who provide builds for multiple products. Hence, the total number of eligible devices is actually 22, which happens to be 10 more than the OEMs involved.

Unsurprisingly, Google is the one with the most number of products, 8 Pixels smartphones to be precise. It is followed by Xiaomi with 3 devices comprising two smartphones and a tablet. Oppo is also offering builds for a smartphone and a foldable. Whereas, the remaining brands are limited to a single product.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the smartphones and tablets on which you can try Android 13.

Xiaomi surprised everyone by launching the brand new POCO F4 GT in the global market. At the moment of its launch, it is the most affordable phone in the market powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and it is also an amazing gaming phone with gaming-centric features. But is it the best flagship killer in the top-tier segment? Is there a good rival for this handset or there is no device in the market with the same value for money. Well, the best rival for the new flagship from Xiaomi’s sub-brand is actually the first Realme premium flagship: the Realme GT 2 Pro. This is a comparison between the specifications of the POCO F4 GT and the Realme GT 2 Pro.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Xiaomi POCO F4 GT

Design

The design of the POCO F4 GT is very aggressive and gaming-centric: when you look at it, you can immediately understand that it is a gaming phone. Despite its affordable price tag, it is built with premium materials: it has a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. Two of the three color options of the Realme GT 2 Pro are made with a special bio-polymer to improve sustainability and designed by the known Japanese Naoto Fukasawa. While the Realme GT 2 Pro provides a very original and refined look, the materials are cheaper as the phone does not sport an aluminum frame and it is entirely made of polymers. Further, you should consider that the POCO F4 GT features two physical magnetic pop-up gaming triggers on the right side, very useful for gamers.

Display

The display of the Realme GT 2 Pro is a lot better than the one found on the POCO F4 GT and it matches the specifications of the displays found on the most expensive flagships. It is an AMOLED panel with the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, one billion colors, a Quad HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, and a diagonal of 6.7 inches, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The POCO F4 GT has an inferior 6.67-inch panel with one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate without the LTPO technology, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. In this case, the fingerprint reader is side-mounted.

Specs & Software

When it comes to the hardware and performance, it is essentially a draw. Both the phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 3 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. They run Android 12 out of the box with a highly customized user interface on top. Note that the POCO F4 GT has a virtual proximity sensor, so the performance of the proximity sensor will be inferior if compared to its rival.

Camera

If you are looking for the best camera phone, go for the Realme GT 2 Pro without thinking twice.

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Pro provides a longer battery life not only because it has a bigger 5000 mAh battery, but also because its display has the LTPO technology improving the efficiency. On the other hand, the smaller 4700 mAh battery of the POCO F4 GT features a faster 120W charging technology.

Price

You need at least €749/$797 to purchase the Realme GT 2 Pro, while the POCO F4 GT starts from just €599/$637. The GT 2 Pro wins the comparison due to its better display, cameras, and battery, but a lot of people may prefer the POCO flagship due to its higher value for money.

Earlier today, Chinese consumer tech brand Realme finally launched the Realme GT 2 Pro in India. The latest handset from the company is its first proper flagship smartphone. The device offers almost all the bells and whistles that are found on a premium phone. However, not everyone may like this handset. Hence, in this article, we have listed the best alternatives to the Realme GT 2 Pro in India.

The Realme GT 2 Pro is priced aggressively in India. It ties with the Motorola Edge 30 Pro as the most-affordable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone in the country.

The device costs ₹49,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB variant and ₹57,999 for the higher 12GB + 256GB model. These price tags come down to ₹44,999 and ₹52,999 respectively via HDFC Bank and SBI card transactions. You can learn more about the offers here.

One of the main highlights of the smartphone is the material used for its back. The handset’s rear panel is made of biopolymer, which gives it a paper-like feel and texture. Customers can also opt for a regular glass back version. Visit this link to learn about the phone’s design.

The device will hit the shelves on April 14. If you can’t wait that long or looking for alternatives, we have got you covered.

If that’s not enough, the device offers Samsung DeX functionality and a useful 3x telephoto camera. But unfortunately, it not only ships without a charger but only supports 25W fast charging.

iQOO 9

In our opinion, the second-best alternative to Realme GT 2 Pro in India is iQOO 9. This handset is priced at ₹42,990 and ₹46,990 for 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB memory variants in the country.

Though it is cheaper, it arrives with some interesting features. For instance, its main camera has gimbal OIS and its display supports MEMC as well as SDR to HDR conversion.

The iQOO 9 also has 120W fast wired charging support and a 2.5x telephoto camera. Finally, it can be availed in mesmerizing BMW M Motorsport colorway, which officially goes by the name of ‘Legend’.

OnePlus 9RT

The OnePlus 9RT does not have any special features like the others on the list. It’s just that this phone is one of the best deals in its segment. It retails at ₹42,999 for the 8GB + 128GB version and ₹46,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

BUILD	Aluminum Frame + Glass Back
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT	162.2 x 74.6 x 8.3mm 198.5g

The successor of the OnePlus 9R has the same 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera as the realme GT 2 Pro. It also has support for 65W fast wired charging.

Though the device falls behind in other aspects, it is still a good buy as it costs ₹7,000 less. 

Motorola Edge 30 Pro

Before the launch of the Realme GT 2 Pro, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro was the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in India. It comes in a single 8GB + 128GB memory configuration priced at ₹49,999.

BUILD	Plastic Frame + Glass Back
DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT	163.1 x 76 x 8.8mm 196g

Other than the aforementioned features, there’s nothing interesting about this handset. But if you really care about Material You, it is the only option in the country as the Pixel 6 series is not sold here officially.

Xiaomi 11T Pro

The Xiaomi 11T Pro is the cheapest alternative to the Realme GT 2 Pro in India. It retails at ₹39,999, ₹41,999, and ₹43,999 for 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB memory variants respectively. Customers can grab it at even lower prices via bank discounts.

Realme has officially refreshed its GT series in the Indian market with the release of the Realme GT2 Pro. The smartphone comes with revamped design and has an interesting color palette.

The Realme GT2 Pro has three color variants – Paper White, Paper Green, and Steel Black. The smartphone adopts the new design language as opposed to the predecessor and has an eco-friendly textured back.

The back of the smartphone is made with the use of biopolymer material. It is claimed to be the world’s first smartphone to use this material. It replicates a paper-like look making the phone’s in-hand grip better.

As per Realme, they tested hundreds of combinations and finally carved 5612 textures based on biomaterials for the smartphone. Lastly, the design was finalized in collaboration with Realme Design Studio and the Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa.

One interesting thing about the back design is that you can use a pencil to sketch on the phone’s back. Since it is a paper-like design, you also use an eraser to rub off the sketch. Considering the eco-friendly design and the TCO 9.0 certification, Realme plans to use this material in its future GT-series phones. One thing to note is that the Steel Black doesn’t have this paper-like finish. The Steel Black GT2 Pro is made out of AG glass material that is claimed to offer a tactile metallic feel without the weight of metal. Something different from the other two colors, and it is made for those who want a metal-like feel to their device.

Other than the back design, the phone replaces the boring triple camera array from its predecessor, where the sensors are placed vertically one by one, with a new layout where the two lenses are placed one after another and the third lens offset.

This camera positioning is similar to what we see on some new phones. For instance, the Realme 9 Pro+ has a similar camera positioning. Even the newly launched OnePlus Nord CE 2 (Review) has such a type of setup with tweaked camera positioning. On the front, the phone has a regular punch-hole display with thin bezels. Nothing fancy for the front.

What do you think about the design of the Realme GT2 Pro? Do tell us in the comments below.

realme today lifted the curtains on its latest flagship device in India — the realme GT 2 Pro. The phone, aside from offering the latest and greatest in smartphone tech, also goes easy on the environment (a little) thanks to its rear panel being made of an ISCC-certified biopolymer, which also feels quite like paper.

The phone’s priced at Rs 49,999 for the 8GB+128GB variant while the 12GB+256GB variant will set you back by Rs 57,999, which is pretty neat for the features you get, but can be brought down a bit through offers and discounts.

If you own an HDFC card, either debit or credit, then you can avail of an instant ₹5,000 discount on both Flipkart and realme.com. The same price cut is available with SBI credit cards as well. Purchases through EMI will land you the same offer too.

Along with the discounts, you can also grab a Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) for only Rs 4,999 (down from Rs 7,999), while the Google Nest Mini that’s currently selling for Rs 3,799 can be picked up at just Rs 1,999.

But perhaps the best part is that a realme GT 2 Pro purchase will also fetch you a realme Watch S worth Rs 4,999 for free. It isn’t clear if this offer is a limited-time affair.

The realme GT 2 Pro’s first sale has been set for April 14th, 12 PM, and you’ll be able to pick it up in Paper Green, Paper White, and Steel Black color options.

Realme has unveiled the Realme GT2 Pro smartphone in India. To recall, it was first announced in China earlier this year and in Europe in March. The GT2 Pro is the company’s most premium flagship phone. Some of the best features of the phone are its AMOLED screen, the latest Snapdragon 8-series chipset, the 50-megapixel triple cameras, and its attractive design.

Design and Display

Realme aims to accomplish net-zero carbon emissions in corporate operations and zero waste to landfills by 2025. In a bid to achieve its ‘Double Zero’ target, the company has launched the Realme GT2 Pro as the world’s first smartphone to use a biopolymer, which replicates the look of paper, for its entire rear shell.

Under the hood of the Realme GT2 Pro is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, which tags along with the Adreno 730 GPU. Realme’s flagship phone offers users up to 12 GB of LPDDR55 RAM and up to 256 GB of storage.

Software

The Realme GT2 Pro comes preinstalled with the Android 12 OS, which is overlaid with Realme UI 3.0. Realme has promised to provide 3 years of major Android upgrades and 4 years of security patch updates to the users of the Realme GT2 Pro.

Cameras

The Realme GT2 Pro has a 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 camera for snapping selfies and video calls. The front camera supports 30fps 1080p video recording. The rear camera setup of the device is headlined by an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 camera. It is coupled with a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera with a 150-degree FOV, and a 2-megapixel micro-lens that promises up to 40x magnification.

Battery and charging

The Realme GT2 Pro packs a 5,000mAh battery, which carries support for 65W SuperDart charging. The company claims that it takes around 33 minutes for the phone to charge completely.

Connectivity and other features

When it comes to connectivity, the Realme GT2 Pro supports dual SIM connectivity with 5G support, Wi-Fi 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, and a USB Type-C port.

If you are looking for the best affordable flagship under €800 in the European market, you have two best choices: the Motorola Edge 30 Pro and the Realme GT 2 Pro. They are the handsets offering top-tier specifications for 2022 at the most affordable prices. While Realme increased the prices of its flagships by releasing the Realme GT 2 Pro, Motorola decreased it, if you consider that the Motorola Edge+ carried a listing price above €1000. So which one is the best affordable flagship right now? This is a specs comparison between these two devices that should help you to understand.

Motorola Edge 30 Pro vs Realme GT 2 Pro

Design

If we talk about the design, the Realme GT 2 Pro is a more interesting phone: two of its three color options are built with a special bio-polymer resembling the tactile feedback of the paper. It is a sustainable material created to reduce carbon emissions. The design of the Realme GT 2 Pro is designed by the known Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a classic glass back with a plastic frame and a not so impressive look, but it has a water repellent body and this may be interesting for those who want to use their phone in the rain. The GT 2 Pro is also a thinner phone.

Display

Realme GT 2 Pro wins even when it comes to the display specifications. It has an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, one billion colors, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and the HDR10+ certification. It provides a higher level of detail and a superior image quality overall. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has an OLED display as well with one billion colors, but it comes with a lower Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and it lacks the LTPO technology enabling the adaptive refresh rate. On the other hand, it has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

The most important advantage of these two flagships is the presence of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform: it is actually the best Qualcomm SoC to date and it provides stunning performance in every usage scenario. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. In terms of performance, these phones are pretty similar, so it is a draw. They run Android 12 out of the box and we know that the GT 2 Pro will get three years of major Android updates and four years of updates with security patches, while the software support policies for the Motorola Edge 30 Pro are not very clear at the moment.

Camera

Both the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Motorola Edge 30 Pro are equipped with a 50 MP main camera supporting OIS and a 50 MP ultrawide sensor providing amazing photo quality if we consider the price range. The Realme GT 2 Pro replaces the useless 2 MP macro camera of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro with a more interesting 3 MP microscope lens with 40x magnification. On the other hand, the Motorola flagship has a better 60 MP selfie camera with 4K video recording.

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Pro is equipped with a bigger 5000 mAh battery, while the Edge 30 Pro stops at 4800 mAh. This should give the GT 2 Pro a slight battery life boost. The charging speeds are similar as the two phones feature 65W and 68W fast charging, respectively.

Price

You need about €750/$818 to grab a unit of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro or the Realme GT 2 Pro in the European market. Note that the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is known as the Edge X30 in the Chinese market. With the actual prices, the Realme GT 2 Pro wins the comparison thanks to a better display and bigger battery. But the differences between these two phones are not big, so you may still consider the Edge 30 Pro if you find it at a more affordable street price.

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.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Realme GT 2

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?

Redmi K50 Pro went official a few days ago as the world’s first mobile phone with the latest MediaTek flagship chipset. Due to the presence of the Dimensity 9000, this handset had a lot of attention and a lot of mobile enthusiasts are evaluating to make it their new main device. But is it really the best flagship killer in its price range? We believe the best way to know it is to compare it to the best flagship killer in the same segment. And currently, the best one is the Realme GT 2 Pro, now available all around the world with very interesting street prices. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Redmi K50 Pro.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro

Design

Realme GT 2 Pro is a green and sustainable phone. Two of its three color options are made with a special bio-polymer resembling the tactile feedback of the paper: Paper White and Paper Green. For those who do not “trust” this material, there is also a third color option called Steel Black with a glass back. All the color options of the Redmi K50 Pro come with a glass back and this phone adds the IP53 certification for dust resistance and splash resistance. The Realme GT 2 Pro looks more interesting due to its innovative materials and a better look for the camera module, that is the reason why it wins the design comparison.

Display

The displays of these two flagships are simply amazing. They are both OLED panels with a Quad HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. But the Realme GT 2 Pro is superior because it is able to show up to one billion colors and it has the LTPO2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz which enhances the efficiency. Further, the Realme GT 2 Pro has an in-display fingerprint reader, while it is side-mounted on the Redmi K50 Pro. The position of the punch hole is also different, while the display diagonals are very close. Both the phones feature stereo speakers for an advanced audio experience.

Specs & Software

This is an important battle between the best chipset by Qualcomm and MediaTek. The Realme GT 2 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, while the Redmi K50 Pro comes with the Mediatek Dimensity 9000. According to most of the benchmarks, the Dimensity 9000 has better performance than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But it is still too early to understand whether or not this superiority reflects in daily usage. For now, the Dimensity 9000 is considered a better processor. The memory configurations include up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box, with customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

If you are looking for the best camera setup, then you should go for the Realme GT 2 Pro. It is equipped with a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera with a wide 150° FOV, and a microscope lens with 40x magnification for macro shots. The Redmi K50 Pro sports a 108 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Realme GT 2 Pro also comes with a better 32 MP front camera (instead of the 20 MP snapper of the K50 Pro).

Battery

The battery capacities of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Redmi K50 Pro are the same: 5000 mAh. This means that the processor will play the most important role in terms of battery life. But there should not be a big difference between the two phones. The Redmi K50 Pro charges faster thanks to 120W fast charging, while GT2 Pro supports 65W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the Redmi K50 Pro for the Chinese market roughly translates into €430/$476 (still not available in the global market), while the Realme GT 2 Pro starts from €750/$830 globally. If we do not consider the prices, the Realme GT 2 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its better camera and display. Do you agree?

Now, Realme has officially teased the upcoming launch of the GT2 and GT2 Pro in India. The brand took to Twitter to announce that their flagship smartphones will soon arrive in India.

— realme (@realmeIndia) March 15, 2022

The company has not mentioned a specific launch date, however, a recent report revealed that the smartphone is set to debut in Indonesia on March 22, 2022, so we can expect the Indian launch to happen on the same date.

Realme GT2, GT2 Pro specifications

The Realme GT2 has a 6.62-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. It is equipped with the Snapdragon 888 chip and a 5,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging.

The Realme GT2 Pro comes with an AMOLED panel with a WQHD+ 1440×3216 resolution and support for 120Hz variable refresh rate (1-120Hz). Its touch sampling rate can reach 1000Hz and its peak brightness reaches 1400nits.

For photography, you get a triple-lens setup at the rear comprised of a Sony IMX766 50MP OIS main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 40x microscope lens. Upfront, there’s the 32MP Sony IMX615 for selfies.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip powers the device, complemented by up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

The phone’s battery is sized 5,000mAh with 65W charging support, promising a full charge in just 33 minutes.

The GT2 series is preinstalled with the Android 12 OS and Realme UI 3.0. Other key features include LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and 65W fast charging.

The post Realme GT2 & GT2 Pro Indian launch officially teased appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year, for the first time, Realme released a top-tier flagship. We are talking about the Realme GT 2 Pro which hitten the global shelves in the last few days with amazing specifications. Despite being a premium flagship, its price is still not at the same level as the top-tier flagships from the other mainstream brands. Its price range (almost) matches the one of the OPPO Find X5, the vanilla version of the new Find X5 Series including the Find X5 Pro, and the Lite variant as well (in the global market). So is it better to go for the most advanced Relame device or for the affordable flagship of the OPPO advanced lineup? We hope to answer this question through a comparison between their specifications.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs OPPO Find X5

Design

Realme GT 2 Pro has a green and sustainable design. Its body has been built with a special bio-polymer which resembles the touch & feel of the paper allowing for lower carbon emissions. And it looks very innovative thanks to that. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 has a futuristic look as well, thanks to its glass + aluminum body full of curves. It has not the same ceramic body as the Find X5 Pro, but it remains a very original and interesting phone if we talk about aesthetics. Which one would you pick?

Display

The Realme GT 2 Pro has a superior display if compared to the OPPO Find X5. Its panel has the same specifications as the display found on the Find X5 Pro and the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an AMOLED panel with a 6.7-inch diagonal, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, one billion colors, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, a peak brightness up to 1400 nits, and the HDR10+ certification. The OPPO Find X5 has similar specifications but it comes with a lower Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and without the LTPO technology. Both the handsets come with stereo speakers and in-display fingerprint scanners.

Specs & Software

The Realme GT 2 Pro wins even when it comes to the hardware department. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that is actually the best Qualcomm chipset to date, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage (up to 256 GB in the European market). The OPPO Find X5 is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship mobile platform from 2021: the weaker Snapdragon 888. The highest-end memory configuration is the same, but the CPU and GPU performances are lower. There are not many differences between the two user interfaces installed: the Realme UI 3.0 actually comes with the ColorOS codebase just like the OxygenOS, so there are just a few different customizations, but the core is the same.

Camera

The OPPO Find X5 is a more interesting phone if we consider the camera departments. Both the handsets come with a pair of 50 MP rear cameras: a Sony IMX766 main sensor with OIS and a Sony IMX766 ultrawide camera. But the third sensor is different: the Find X5 has a better 13 MP telephoto lens, while the Realme GT 2 Pro replaces it with a 3 MP microscope camera with 40x magnification for macro shots. Further, the OPPO Find X5 adds the amazing MariSilicon X NPU improving the image quality, especially in low light conditions.

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Pro is equipped with a bigger 5000 mAh battery, so its battery life should be longer. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X5 supports faster 80W charging and, unlike the GT 2 Pro, it even comes with wireless charging (50W).

Price

The OPPO Find X5 retails for €999/$1090 in Europe, while you can find the Realme GT 2 Pro for €749/$817. Which one should you go for? It depends on your needs: the OPPO Find X5 comes with better cameras, faster charging, and wireless charging, while the Realme GT 2 Pro has a better display, a superior chipset, and a bigger battery. Now, you can make your choice.

Last week, GSMA hosted the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2022 in Barcelona, Spain. However, unlike previous years, there weren’t many big launches. That’s because companies now prefer to announce their important devices at their own annual conferences.

Anyway, there were some 5 smartphones that caught our attention. We have compiled them in this article. Three of them are from separate brands, while two of them are from the same brand. These OEMs are HONOR, OPPO, realme, and POCO. 

With that being said, let us take a look at these phones one by one.

Best Smartphones at MWC 2022

HONOR Magic4 Pro

Our pick for the star of Mobile World Congress 2022 is none other than HONOR Magic4 Pro. The latest flagship smartphone from HONOR offers almost all the high-end features one can expect.

The device sports a glass sandwich housing with a metal frame. It flaunts a 6.81-inch 10-bit curved OLED LTPO display with a resolution of 1312×2848 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a pill-shaped cutout for the front-facing cameras. The panel is not only HDR10+ certified but also IMAX Enhanced.

The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It also comes with an independent security chip and an independent display chip for always-on HDR as well as MEMC.

Though the handset houses a large circular module on the rear, there are only three cameras – 50MP wide lens, 50MP ultra-wide lens, and 64MP 3.5x telephoto lens. The remaining two holes are for a flicker sensor and an 8×8 dTOF laser focusing system. On the front, it has a 12MP shooter and a 3D depth sensor.

Other features of the HONOR Magic4 Pro include IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, dual stereo speakers, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, Magic UI 6 based on Android 12, 4,500mAh battery, 100W fast wired charging, 100W fast wireless charging, and 5W wireless reverse charging.

The device is offered in four colors (cyan, gold, black, orange) and starts at €1099 outside mainland China. Its availability will be revealed closer to the release.

OPPO Find X5 Pro

Unlike the HONOR Magic4 Pro, the OPPO Find X5 Pro was not announced at MWC 2022.  The company unveiled it a few days ago but showcased it at the GSMA-hosted conference.

The successor of OPPO Find X3 Pro retains the design language from its predecessor with some tweaks. The Glaze Black version sports a glass back, while the Ceramic White variant flaunts a ceramic rear panel. Both have a metal frame.

realme GT 2 Pro

The realme GT 2 Pro is the only old handset is the list. It made its debut in China in January. However, it was announced for Europe at MWC 2022. The device is the first proper flagship smartphone from realme.

The phone’s back is made of biopolymer to offer a paper-like touch and feel. Whereas, its frame is made of metal. Despite featuring a different body material, it is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC as other premium Android smartphones.

The chipset is coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. As far as software is concerned, the handset ships with realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12.

One of the interesting features of the phone is its 6.7-inch display. This 10-bit flat LTPO 2.0 AMOLED panel has a resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels and up to 120Hz refresh rate, 1000Hz touch sampling rate as well as 1,,400 nits peak brightness. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, it has a punch-hole at the top left corner and a fingerprint sensor with support for heart rate monitoring underneath it.

Apart from a great display, the handset also comes with an equally impressive 50MP (Sony IMX766 with OIS) + 50MP (150° ultra-wide) + microscope lens triple camera system on the rear and a 32MP Sony IMX615 front-facing camera. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 5,000mAh battery, and 65W fast wired charging.

The realme GT2 Pro is priced at €749 and €849 for 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB memory variants respectively in Europe. It is already up for sale in select regions.

POCO X4 Pro 5G

The next device is our list is POCO X4 Pro 5G, which is a budget offering. Despite being a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, we considered it to be one of the best smartphones at MWC 2022. Because it only looks unique (subjective) but also costs only €269 and €319 for 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB versions respectively (early bird pricing).

Talking about highlights, it flaunts a glass sandwich design (flat plastic frame) and is built around a 6.67-centered punch-hole FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, 395 PPI, and 1,200 nits peak brightness. It is run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

For photography and videography, there’s a 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera system and a 16MP front-facing camera. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a hybrid MicroSD card slot, an IR blaster, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and an IP53 rating.

Last but not least, it boots MIUI 13 for POCO based on Android 11 and gets its juice from a 5,000mAh battery, which has support for 67W fast charging.

POCO M4 Pro

The final phone is our list is POCO M4 Pro. It is even more affordable (early bird pricing) than the POCO X4 Pro 5G as it is priced at only €199 (6GB + 128GB) and €249 (8GB + 128GB). It is a rebadged variant of the Redmi Note 11S, which we consider better than the Redmi Note 11 Pro in terms of value.

The handset’s body is entirely made of plastic but still sports a 6.43-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 409 PPI, up to 90Hz refresh rate, and 1,000 nits peak brightness level. It is powered by MediaTek Helio G96 SoC coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

It arrives with a 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera setup and a 16MP front-facing camera. It runs MIUI 13 based on Android 11 and is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Realme GT2 Pro is the brand’s latest flagship smartphone. It was announced in China last month and it is set to debut in international markets at MWC 2022 on February 28. The handset recently received a price cut in its home country. Followed by that, earlier today, the price of the base variant was slashed by a large amount on the company’s official website. Turns out it was a glitch.

After the recent price drop, the base 8GB + 128GB variant of Realme GT 2 Pro had been retailing at ¥3,499 ($552). For the unaware, it was introduced at ¥3,699 ($584).

But earlier today, this version of the phone was listed at only ¥2,999 ($473) on the official website of the brand. Hence, it was thought that the company had reduced the price again by ¥500 ($79).

However, it wasn’t the case. Xu Qi Chase, one of the VPs and the President of Global Marketing at Realme, clarified on Weibo that the difference in price was due to an error and it has been fixed.

The executive confirmed that the company will not cancel the orders of the customers who were able to grab the smartphone at an unbelievable price just a month after its release.

The Realme GT 2 Pro is Realme’s first proper flagship smartphone. Some of its highlights include a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, 50MP 150˚ ultra-wide camera, 5,000mAh battery, and 65W fast charging.

While the phone’s arrival in India has been teased, there’s no information available about the actual launch date. But given that the company has now started teasing it, the launch should happen in the coming days.

The post Realme GT 2 Pro flagship smartphone officially teased to soon launch in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

Ever since the launch of the new flagship smartphones rocking the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, we have been testing them against one another to bring you more clarity on their performance in various scenarios.

And today, the Gizmochina team brings you the Gaming performance of Xiaomi 12 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro, the iQOO 9 Pro, and the Moto Edge X30, to answer the frequently asked question of which amount these is the best for gaming.

Benchmark tests

To kick things off, we first put all the devices through the usual Geekbench 5, 3DMark, and Antutu Benchmarks to get a baseline.

The iQOO 9 Pro puts the best overall performance in Geekbench scoring 3840 points in the multi-core test and 1225 points in the single-core test.  It is worth mentioning that the Realme GT 2 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro managed to outshine the iQOO 9 Pro in single-core performance with 1264 and 1229 points respectively. However, the device had a sizable lead against them in multi-core tests landing it in the first position.

The iQOO 9 Pro also scored the highest in the Antutu benchmark with 1,020,542 points and is followed closely by the Xiaomi 12 Pro which managed a score of 993,852 points. Surprisingly, the OnePlus 10 Pro takes the cake in the GPU-intensive 3DMark Wild Life test with the best peek out of all five devices with 10,069 points.

However, peek performance is not a good metric to display the real-life performance of smartphones as it omits the prolonged use case. So next up, we subject the five Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagships to the 3Dmark Wildlife extreme stress test which repeats the same stress test 20 times in a row.

In this stress test, the OnePlus 10 Pro started headstrong however its performance went down from round 8 due to thermal throttling. The iQOO 9 Pro was the only device to maintain durable performance output with excellent stability across the stress test. The Motorola Edge X30 also performed well offering almost 70% stability through the test however it was also the hottest running phone among the five devices. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 12 Pro wasn’t able to complete the test due to its overheating limit.

Gaming framerate and heating test

But benchmarks are not always indicative of actual game performance so we quickly loaded up some games in the five flagships to test which one is the actual performance king when it comes to gaming.

First up, we tested PUBG Mobile which was a breeze for all five devices. All of them managed similar average FPS numbers in the range of 59-60 FPS. But in Genshin Impact, the devices started showing gaps in thermal and frame rate performance.

The Realme GT 2 Pro gave us the biggest surprise with its highest average FPS numbers at 57.6. However, once we factor in the heat produced by the smartphones, the iQOO 9 Pro emerges as the true winner of this test by offering 54.5 FPS on average while remaining almost 4-5 degrees cooler than the Realme GT 2 Pro.

For our third and last game test, we ran Nimian Legends at 2k resolution and the highest graphic settings the game has to offer.

This time around, the Motorola Edge X30 stands out from its competitors with an average of 46.2 frames per second but the phone also got as hot as 56 degrees celsius which made it really uncomfortable to hold. Apart from the Edge X30, the other four devices remained close to each other giving 39-40 FPS on average.

Conclusion

If we only look at the framerate data, the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Moto Edge X30 offer the best performance out of the bunch. However, when we consider the thermal performance of the devices and their stability in maintaining consistent frame rates, the iQOO 9 Pro emerges as the undisputed king of gaming devices out of the five.

A lot of interesting devices powered by this chipset made their debut in the Asian market and soon they will head to several other regions as well. Alongside the Xiaomi 12 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and the Motorola Edge X30, the most advanced handsets with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 inside are the Realme GT 2 Pro and the iQOO 9 Pro released by Vivo’s sub-brand. Here is a comparison between their specifications that will tell you which is the best one for your current needs and tastes.

Realme GT 2 Pro vs Vivo iQOO 9 Pro

Design

The Realme GT 2 Pro has a very innovative design. The Paper Green and the Paper White color options are made with a special bio-polymer resembling the look and the tactile feedback of paper: a material that reduces carbon emissions providing a more sustainable device. On the other hand, the iQOO 9 Pro is a stunning phone as well. It is slightly bigger in terms of dimensions, but it has an amazing curved screen with a very high screen to body ratio and it comes in a special edition dedicated to BMW M Motorsport sporting a great customized design. It is bigger and thicker, but at the same time, it is very gorgeous and made of great materials. Which one would you prefer?

Display

The displays of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the iQOO 9 Pro have more or less the same specifications. They are AMOLED panels with the LTPO technology providing an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The displays are able to show up to one billion colors with the HDR10+ certification and a high Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels. The image quality provided by these displays is similar and definitely amazing. They have a very high level of detail, as well as great color reproduction, a fluid viewing experience, and lower energy consumption. They also come with stereo speakers and in-display fingerprint readers.

Specs & Software

If you do not want any limit when it comes to performance or you are an advanced gamer, then you should definitely choose one of these two handsets because they are powered by the best Qualcomm chipset: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The mobile platform is paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage not expandable. With these devices, you can play every mobile game without lag and with a high, stable frame rate. The Realme GT 2 Pro runs the Realme UI 3.0 which is based on ColorOS, while the iQOO 9 Pro runs OriginOS Ocean which we define a bit inferior to the Realme UI 3.0 as it lacks a few features from the OPPO customization.

Camera

If you are looking for the most advanced rear camera department, the iQOO 9 Pro is the best option for you. It has a 50 MP main camera with gimbal stabilization (OIS), a 50 MP ultrawide camera with a 150° FOV, and a 16 MP telephoto sensor with 2.5x optical zoom and OIS. The Realme GT 2 Pro has a pair of 50 MP sensors as well, but it replaces the amazing telephoto camera found on the iQOO 9 Pro with an inferior 3 MP microscope camera providing 40x magnification. But if you need better selfies, then Realme GT 2 Pro is superior thanks to its 32 MP front camera.

Battery

The Realme GT 2 Pro wins the battery comparison simply because it has a bigger 5000 mAh battery. On the other hand, the iQOO 9 Pro wins the charging comparison because it features faster 120W wired charging and, unlike the Realme flagship, it supports wireless charging (with a high 50W power) and reverse wireless charging.

Price

The prices of the Realme GT 2 Pro and the iQOO 9 Pro in the Chinese market are a bit different: the first starts from €542/$609 and the latter begins at €695/$781 at the actual change. The iQOO 9 Pro currently represents a more solid option thanks to its telephoto camera, faster charging, and wireless charging, while the Realme GT 2 Pro offers a bigger battery in a more compact design.

The post Realme GT 2 Pro vs iQOO 9 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Ever since its launch in December 2021, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC has been featured in flagship devices from various brands. But which of these devices offers the best optimization for the new SoC right now?

To answer this question, the Gizmochina team has pitted the Xiaomi 12 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro, the iQOO 9 Pro, and the Moto Edge X30 against one another to see which device offers lower app opening and loading times as well as how well the devices manage their RAM.

We have used the latest stable version of the system for testing which will be listed below. We have not made any changes to the phone’s settings and are running them on their factory setup. For example, by default, every phone has RAM expansion on so we haven’t turned it off. And going by that logic, we have also avoided any high high-performance mode because they don’t come enabled out of the box and most people don’t use them for basic tasks.

Also, for every test, we have given a score out of 5 points. So, 1st position gets 5 Points, 2nd gets 4, 3rd gets 3, 4th gets 2 points and 5th position gets 1.

APP loading time test

So let’s begin with our first test which focuses on app opening and loading times. For this test, we used multiple apps including Twitter, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, and more as well as some games like Temple Run, Candy Crush, PUBG mobile, and Genshin Impact.

All the smartphones were fast at opening lightweight apps however, the Realme GT 2 Pro surprisingly came on top in loading times with being able to quickly open Google Chrome, the camera app, and other heavy apps like Adobe Premiere rush, and PUBG Mobile. The OnePlus 10 Pro came at second and the iQOO 9 Pro and the Moto Edge X30 followed it for a close third.

The most surprising result in this test was the Xiaomi 12 Pro which was sometimes way faster than other phones however, lost to them while opening the majority of apps. This may be due to the device not killing any of the background processes.

RAM management test

For RAM management, we ran 16 apps back to back while minimizing the previous app. This time around, the Xiaomi 12 Pro reigned supreme with a perfect 16/16 score followed closely by the Realme GT 2 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro. The Moto Edge X30 was the most underperforming device in this regard due to its 8GB ram capacity compared to other devices which operate on 12GB. However, the most disappointing device for RAM management was the iQOO 9 Pro which only managed to keep up with the other devices a mere 4 out of 16 times.

Conclusion

The Realme GT 2 Pro offers the best overall performance with 74 Points. The device goes unchallenged in the app opening test and comes in a close second for RAM management.

The OnePlus 10 Pro also offers good performance and manages to secure the second spot overall with 65 points.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro performs the best when it comes to RAM management but struggles in app opening time due to not killing any background processes.

iQOO 9 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30 come in 3rd and 4th positions respectively, which is understandable for the Motorola phone because of its lower RAM capacity, however, the iQOO 9 Pro might be facing some optimization issues in its current software build which is hindering its RAM management capabilities.

System versions

• Motorola Edge X30: S0SC32.16-29-12
• Xiaomi 12 Pro:MIUI 13 13.0.16.0
• Realme GT 2 Pro: realme UI 3.0 RMX3300_11_A.14

Are you ready for the best 2022 flagships? If you are looking for the most advanced hardware department at the best price, then you cannot ignore the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro this year. These devices have nothing to envy the most expensive phones in the market, but their prices are simply amazing. The former will probably hit the global market until the Motorola Edge 30 Pro moniker and the latter is coming soon in the European market as well, after being launched in China and India. Given that these devices carry similar price tags, we think it is time for a comparison between the specifications of the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Realme GT 2 Pro

Design

The Realme GT 2 Pro is definitely one of the most attractive phones released this year in terms of design. The Paper White and the Paper Green color options of this handset are made with a special bio-based polymer which resembles the sensation of the paper. It is a very sustainable material reducing carbon emissions and it even makes the phone more original and beautiful, without renouncing to great build quality. This design is definitely better than the one of the Motorola Edge X30 which is a classic phone with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and an average look. But the Motorola flagship is water-repellent, which is a cool feature for those who want to use their phones while it is raining.

Display

The Motorola Edge X30 has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but the best display of this comparison belongs to the Realme GT 2 Pro. It is equipped with an AMOLED panel sporting the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and very low energy consumption. The display shows up to one billion colors, it has a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification. This display has a higher image quality including a better color reproduction and a higher level of detail. The Motorola Edge X30 has an OLED display with one billion colors as well, but with a lower Full HD+ resolution and without the LTPO technology.

Specs & Software

The best advantage of the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro is definitely their processor: an amazing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform which is currently the most advanced SoC by Qualcomm, running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Given that they have the same SoC and the same max amount of RAM (up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM), they will likely offer the same level of performance. But with the Realme GT 2 Pro, you can actually get more internal storage: up to 512 GB. Last but not least, its software department is more advanced as it is the Realme UI 3.0 based on ColorOS 12 and Android 12. I tested the Realme UI 3.0 thoroughly and I found out that it offers a lot more features and more optimization.

Camera

The rear camera setup of the Realme GT 2 Pro is superior to the Motorola Edge X30. It is composed of a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with omnidirectional phase detection autofocus and OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 3 MP microscope lens with 40x magnification. The Motorola Edge X30 comes with two 50 MP cameras including an ultrawide one and a 2 MP depth sensor, clearly inferior to the Realme GT 2 Pro, but it has a better 60 MP selfie camera.

Battery

The battery capacities of the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro are the same: 5000 mAh. But the latter will most likely last more in a lot of scenarios thanks to its efficient display with the LTPO 2.0 technology.

Price

The Motorola Edge X30 has a starting price tag of €420/$476 in the Chinese market, while Realme GT 2 Pro starts from €542/$615. At the end of the day, the Realme GT 2 Pro wins the comparison thanks to a better design, display, and rear cameras. But the Edge X30 is a lot more affordable, so its value for money is higher.
