Realme GT 2, GT Neo 3 Android 13 early access program underway

The early access update means that users can now experience the latest OS version on their devices, however, since it is a part of the beta program, there might be some bugs. The Android 13 early access program for the Realme GT 2 and GT Neo 3 is already underway and applications are accepted in batches with only limited seats available. Both smartphones debuted this year and shipped with Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12. The next-generation Android 13 offers more customisations along with enhanced security and privacy. 

Realme warns that the early access update is not worth installing on the GT 2 and GT Neo 3 if it’s your daily driver. Additionally, users have to back up their personal data to avoid any loss. Some third-party apps may not be compatible with Android 13, therefore updating apps to the latest version should be avoided. 

Realme says that there should be more than 10GB of storage space on the GT 2 and GT Neo 3. The early access update may also have an unpredictable impact on the device and affect daily usage.

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

Last month Motorola announced two amazing flagship phones: the Motorola X30 Pro and the Motorola S30 Pro. While the former is the top-tier flagship, the latter is a flagship killer more focused on the quality price ratio. That is the reason why it is definitely one of the most interesting phones of this year for those who search for the max performance at an affordable price. But in order to understand whether or not this is the best flagship killer you can buy, it is worth comparing it to its most important rivals in the current market. Among these, we got the Realme GT 2 released earlier this year: we chose this device because it is currently available at very interesting street prices, so it is a perfect rival for the new Lenovo handset. So, here is a comparison between the main specifications of the Realme GT 2 and the Motorola X30 Pro.

Realme GT 2 vs Motorola S30 Pro

Design

The design of the Motorola Moto S30 Pro is more premium and curated than the Realme GT 2. First of all, this device is thinner, lighter, and more compact than its rival. Further, it comes with a curved screen at the sides, just like the most beautiful flagships. Last but not least, it has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and it is splash and dust resistant. You can not find any of these pros on the Relame GT 2, but it is still an interesting device because two of its three color options are made with a special bio-polymer resembling the touch and feel of real paper. You can even draw on the phone with a pencil and erase with a rubber. However, this is not enough for it to win the design comparison as we prefer the elegance of the Motorola S30 Pro. Do you agree with us?

Display

The display of the Motorola Moto S30 Pro looks better than the one found on the Realme GT 2. It is a P-OLED panel manufactured by LG which is able to show up to one billion colors. It has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a great 144 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. It comes with a diagonal of 6.55 inches, curved edges, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Realme GT 2 has an OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and HDR10+ as well, but its refresh rate is lower at just 120 Hz and it is not able to show one billion colors. On the other hand, it is the only one featuring stereo speakers, even though it does not provide a 3.5 mm audio jack. Do you prefer having a better display or better audio on a phone?

Specs & Software

Even though these devices are very similar in terms of performance, the Motorola Moto S30 Pro is slightly better. First of all, it has a superior chipset: the Snapdragon 888+ is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 888 found on the Realme GT 2. It is a chipset built with a 5 nm production process coming with an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex X1 CPU running at a max frequency of 2.99 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.42 GHz, and four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 1.8 GHz, as well as an Adreno 660 GPU. The chipset is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, while the Realme GT 2 stops at 256 GB of internal storage in its most expensive configuration. Both handsets run Android 12 out of the box, customized by Realme UI 3.0 and MYUI 4.0, respectively. Note that the GT 2 will get three major Android updates and four years of security patches as per the latest Realme update policies.

Camera

The Realme GT 2 and the Motorola S30 Pro come with the same main camera: a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor with a 50 MP resolution, an f/1.8 focal aperture, and OIS. The Motorola actually sports a better ultrawide camera with a 13 MP resolution (against just 8 MP), as well as a better front camera with a 32 MP resolution (against 16 MP). So, we can definitely say that the Motorola S30 Pro has a better camera setup.

Battery

The most important advantage of the Realme GT 2 over its rival is definitely the battery capacity. Thanks to a 5000 mAh battery, it lasts a lot longer on a single charge and its rival is not able to compete in any way, especially if we consider that it has similar specifications but a 4400 mAh battery. The charging technologies are very similar, so expect similar charging speeds, but the Motorola will obviously be quicker to reach full charge due to its smaller battery.

Price

The Motorola S30 Pro starts from €330/$330 in the Chinese market, while the Realme GT 2 can easily be found for less than €400/$400 in the global market. Overall, the Motorola S30 Pro is superior, if we exclude the battery.

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. 

For more details of the Realme GT 2 MEE such as the pricing, stay tuned to our coverage of the launch event here at Gizmochina!

Did you see how many flagship killers Realme released this year in the global market? Besides its first premium flagship GT 2 Pro, the Chinese giant came up with three amazing flagship killers: the Realme GT 2, the Realme GT Neo 3, and the Realme GT Neo 3T. They come with many similar specifications and a lot of people are confused about which one to choose, especially because the vanilla GT 2 is currently available at very interesting street prices while the GT Neo 3 series just debuted in the global market with launch promos. This comparison will highlight the differences between the Realme GT 2, the Realme GT Neo 3, and the Realme GT Neo 3T.

Realme GT 2 vs Realme GT Neo3 vs Realme GT Neo 3T

Design

Each of these devices comes with a very original design. Two of the color options of the Realme GT 2 are built with a special bio-polymer resembling the touch and feel of the paper. It is a sustainable material and, given that it is similar to paper, you can draw on the rear cover with a pencil and erase with a rubber. the Realme GT Neo 3 has a classic glass + polycarbonate design, but on the rear side, it has a beautiful vertical stripe inspired by sports cars. The Realme GT Neo 3T is aesthetically similar to the GT 2 but with different materials and texture: it has a checkered design, but it is made of polycarbonate for both the rear side and the frame.

Display

The display found on the Realme GT Neo 3 is not only bigger with its 6.7-inch diagonal but even better than the panels found on the Realme GT 2 and the Realme GT Neo 3T. It is an AMOLED display that is able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The Realme GT 2 and the GT Neo 3T come with the same panel: an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.62 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. It is inferior to the panel found on the Realme GT Neo3, but the differences are not so noticeable.

Specs & Software

Even though it is powered by a chipset from last year, the handset with the most advanced performance in this trio is the Realme GT 2. It is fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform built with a 5 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 2.84 GHz: this SoC is more powerful than the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 found on the Realme GT Neo 3, which takes the silver medal. The Realme GT Neo 3T has an even weaker chipset: the Snapdragon 870. With the Realme GT 2 and the GT Neo 3, you get up to 12 GB of RAM, while the Realme GT Neo 3T has just 8 GB of RAM. All of these phones run Android 12 out of the box, with the Realme UI 3.0 on top.

Camera

The Realme GT 2 and the Realme GT Neo 3 have the same camera departments and they can be considered good camera phones. They come with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS: the same sensor as flagships like the OPPO Find X5 Pro, paired with an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 2 MP macro lens. On the front, they are equipped with a 16 MP selfie camera. Even though they have the same rear cameras, the Realme GT 2 may shoot better photos in several scenarios because of the great ISP included in the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. There is no way for the Realme GT Neo 3T to compete because it packs an inferior 64 MP main shooter.

Battery

All of these phones are equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and they provide a similar battery life, with the exception of the 150W version of the Realme GT Neo 3. This configuration comes with a smaller 4500 mAh battery, but it features the fastest charging technology in the market, with a power of 150W.

Price

You need at least $629/€599 to purchase the Realme GT Neo 3 globally, the Realme GT 2 can be easily found for $576/€549, and the Realme GT Neo 3T starts from $420/€400. Which one would you pick?

The post Realme GT 2 vs GT Neo3 vs GT Neo 3T: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

After Qualcomm had officially announced its flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset tonight, it seems that Realme is once again jumping the gun to be the first phone manufacturer to equip its upcoming flagship with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest SoC.

Realme announced on its Chinese social media, Weibo, tonight that the company’s next flagship, officially named the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition, is launching soon and the flagship will be the world’s first Android flagship to sport the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. 

Realme had not officially announced any event launch date for its upcoming flagship in the Weibo post but considering the company had officially revealed the name of its next flagship – the Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition, it is expected that the company will reveal more details about the device in the several upcoming weeks to come.

To refresh, the Realme GT Master Edition and Master Explorer Edition were launched in July last year with the Snapdragon 778G SoC and Snapdragon 870 SoC. The Master Edition of devices was the brand’s first-ever collaboration with well-renowned Japanese designer, Naoto Fukasawa. The Master Edition devices felt premium in the hand as they featured a one-of-a-kind leather suitcase inspired back panel that was soft to the touch and comfortable in the hands.

In 2022, Realme had reached out to Mr Naoto again to design their Realme GT 2 series of flagship smartphones and this time around the Realme GT 2 series was fashionably equipped with the world’s first paperback inspired design that was environmentally friendly with its recyclable materials. The Realme GT 2 Pro was also one of the first flagships to launch with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor this year as well.

Realme announced the Realme GT2 Pro today in India. The company also announced a slew of other products such as Realme 9 4G, Realme Book Prime, Realme Buds Air 3, and Realme Smart TV Stick. At the end of the launch event, the company not only announced the vanilla Realme GT2 for the country but also revealed its release timeline.

Realme will be celebrating its fourth anniversary on May 4 this year. The company confirmed that the vanilla Realme GT2 would be released during its fourth anniversary in India. The specifications of the device are already known since the handset has already been launched in global markets and China. Like the GT2 Pro, the GT2 will sport an environment-friendly paper-inspired rear shell and will come in three colors like Steel Black, Paper Green, and Paper White.

Realme GT2 specifications

The Realme GT2 has a 6.62-inch AMOLED screen that offers a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The device features a 16-megapixel selfie camera, and its back panel has a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS support, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro snapper.

The post Realme GT2 announced in India, here’s when it will be releasing appeared first on Gizmochina.

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?

From the fingerprint readers on the physical home button, then fingerprint readers on the back cover of the phone, then side-mounted fingerprint scanners, to under-screen optical fingerprint scanners and the latest ultrasonic fingerprint scanners, one might think we have reached the peak of “fingerprint scanners”. But Realme begs to differ with its new under-screen fingerprint scanners in its upcoming Realme GT2 series.

Realme’s General Vice President and Chief Officer of Realme China, Mr. Chase Xu Qi, has gone to Weibo recently to share with fans about the latest fingerprint scanning technology that Realme will equip in the upcoming Realme GT2 series.

From the screenshots shared on Weibo, we notice some sort of Heart Rate Monitor menu page on-screen and the instruction seems to suggest to the user to put their thumb on the fingerprint scanner to measure their heart rate. This feature heart rate scanning feature via the fingerprint scanner seems like a unique and interesting idea, but time will tell after release, whether it will be a highlight or be just a mere gimmick.

The fingerprint scanner announcement was later supported by Digital Chat Station, a popular technology leakster from China, whereby he confirmed on Weibo that the Realme GT2 Pro is indeed not using your normal conventional optical fingerprint scanner.

The leakster also informs that the Realme GT2 Pro will be using Corning Gorilla Victus for better scratch and drop protection for users’ peace of mind.

In other news, the Realme GT2 Pro’s design has been officially revealed by the company several days back, but leaked renders of the Realme GT2 Pro from months ago may not be inaccurate after all, as the latest leaks reveal that the Realme GT2 Pro may come in 3 different editions.

The one leaked render showing the Realme GT2 Pro having a long horizontal protruding camera bump may be the “Photographer Edition” of the Realme GT2 Pro. The “Photographer Edition” is said to feature a triple camera setup whereby each camera has been upgraded further compared to the standard edition, to cater to professional photographers.

The Realme GT2 series will be announced officially on January 4, 2022.

A Weibo post released by the brand today states that the Realme GT 2 Pro is a high-end flagship phone customized for the youth. The ‘see you tomorrow’ text in the post suggests that the company may announce the Realme GT 2 series launch date tomorrow.

The Realme GT 2 series is likely to include two phones such as the GT 2 and GT 2 Pro. The former has seemingly appeared at TENAA with RMX3310 model number. It has a 6.62-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, a 16-megapixel selfie camera, a Sony IMX766 50-megapixel triple rear cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging.

The post Realme GT 2 series launch date likely to be confirmed tomorrow appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today (20th December 2021), Realme held the Innovation Forward online special event for its upcoming GT 2 series. In the live stream, the company announced a number of new technologies and features that will be arriving on the flagship lineup.

Paper Tech Master Design

In the past, the Chinese smartphone brand had worked with Naoto Fukasawa for its “Master Design.” Now, Realme announced that it is working with the known Japanese industrial designer again for its GT 2 Pro. The new design is called Paper Tech Master Design, which is inspired by paper and offers a premium minimalist look. Apart from the design, the company even placed a focus on the environmental impacts of the materials as well. The GT 2 Pro will feature the world’s first bio-based smartphone design, which reduces the carbon footprint during the production process.

World’s First 150° Ultra Wide Camera

During the event, Realme also showcased its trend of unveiling new camera technologies with its smartphone offerings. So to continue this tradition, it is launching the GT 2 Pro with the world’s first 150° ultra wide camera. As the name suggests, this wide angle lens offers users a 150° field of view, which is 278 percent more than typical primary smartphone cameras that have a 84° field of view. Notably, the company has even developed the world’s first Fisheye Mode on a smartphone that produces an ultra long depth of field effect for more creative photography.

Antenna Array Matrix System

The brand even unveiled its new Antenna Array Matrix System that will power the connectivity features of the GT 2 Pro. This includes a new Antenna technology, enhancements to WiFi, and a handy 360° NFC connectivity. The new Ultra Wide Band HyperSmart Antenna Switching supports 48 mainstream global brands that makes it compatible in over 150 nations. It even offers a new non-wraparound Antenna technology, which basically offers 12 wraparound antennas instead of just two on the top and the bottom of the device.

This conventional leads to a “death grip” during gaming as users tend to hold their phones from the top and bottom, hindering the signal. So with the additional antennas, gamers get a strong and uninterrupted connection during intense online games. Additionally, its enhanced WiFi allows for a 20 percent improvement in WiFi stability as well, based on WiFi 6 enhanced version. Lastly, it supports 360° NFC technology that makes it more handy in terms of practicality. So now, rather than just using the back of the smartphone where the NFC module is housed, users can simply use NFC by just bringing their device closer from any angle for a proper connection.

The GT 2’s back panel has a triple camera unit, which is headlined by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 camera. It is assisted by an 8-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel snapper.

Chinese tech brand realme has confirmed to launch the realme GT 2 Pro on December 20. Ahead of that, the company has been teasing the features of the handset for the past few days. Amidst this, the vanilla realme GT 2 has now made its appearance on the internet.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, the non-Pro realme GT 2 has been spotted on realme India’s official website. Unfortunately, this finding does not say anything about this upcoming phone, except that it confirms its existence, which was obvious anyway.

Since the brand has now started readying its website for realme GT 2, the device’s launch should not be far away. It could make its debut as soon as Q1 2022.

The standard realme GT 2 will be succeeding the original realme GT. Hence, going by its predecessor, it will most likely focus more on performance than anything else. On the other hand, the realme GT 2 Pro, which is set to go official next week will act as a proper realme flagship smartphone, as teased by the brand itself.
