The post Realme GT Neo 5 SE Will Arrive With 16GB+1TB Storage Option appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme will be launching its highly awaited flagship killer, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE in China next Tuesday, April 3rd. And it looks like the brand is much confident in the battery endurance of its upcoming smartphone because, in the latest teaser shared by an executive of the company, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE is claimed to offer 48 hours of battery life for its users.

Chase Xu, CEO of Realme China, posted on his social media this week, teasing that the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 SE is challenging for a new record in the flagship smartphone market – 48 hours of continuous smartphone use on a full charge. Chase shared that Realme has developed and integrated 3 “black magic technologies” in-house to achieve the record.

The first ingredient is a large 5500mAh battery. Chase shared that the company wanted to fit the biggest battery possible into the phone whilst still keeping the phone relatively lightweight and slim, and its engineers decided that 5500 mAh was the best balance of both worlds. 

The second ingredient is the company’s industry-leading “SUPERVOOC S” power management silicon chip. The new silicon enables power efficiency numbers of near 100%, specifically 99.5%, meaning little power loss to its surroundings. The new silicon also enables 100W SUPERVOOC charging, alongside better charging heat dissipation and improved charging safety features.

The last ingredient is Realme’s AI-powered smart power-saving software algorithm. The software algorithm adapts to the user’s usage pattern, to improve upon the power efficiency of each task the user performs. To illustrate, Chase likens the battery to a large water tank, and that to ensure a longer continuous supply of water from the tank, one must control the tap of the water tank.

On a closing note, Chase mentions that the Realme GT Neo 5 SE is a lightweight smartphone built for users who want their phone to last longer with its 5500 mAh and 100W SUPERVOOC charging that fully charges the smartphone in under an hour.

As per official teasers, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE is already confirmed to be powered by the highly acclaimed premium-grade SoC – the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 by Qualcomm.

Realme‘s GT Master edition smartphone series has reached a sales milestone just 12 months after its launch. Realme’s CEO Sky Li revealed on Twitter that the smartphone series has crossed the 2-million-unit mark in sales which is quite impressive.

Realme introduced the GT Master and the GT Explorer Master globally last year. Both models came with a distinctive suitcase design by Japanese Naoto Fukushawa. The inspiration for the suitcase design was propelled by peoples’ desire to travel during the coronavirus pandemic. The distinct design of both smartphones spurred their popularity and demand since they were launched. The bulk of the sales of the GT Master edition was from the GT Master. There was limited availability of the GT Explorer Master.

I'm glad to see that everyone is excited about the realme GT Master Edition Series so that we can have this great achievement! #realmeGT2ExplorerMasterEdition inspired by the adventurous spirit will be available soon. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/KZGD0VnakQ

Realme is set to launch the Realme GT Neo 3 officially in China on March 22nd, 2 days away from today. And like all major launches in 2022, the company is also following the “drip and feed” trend of releasing the features of the device each day before launch to build up for the anticipated “probably industry-changing” device of the year. 

In its latest teaser announcement on Weibo, Chase Xu, Senior Executive at Realme, reveals the jaw-dropping camera highlight of the Realme GT Neo 3. The Realme GT Neo 3 will sport a flagship Sony IMX766 50MP sensor with OIS! 

For context, the Sony IMX766 sensor is mostly used on flagships like the Xiaomi 12 series, vivo X70 series, Oppo Find X3 and Find X5 series. 

However, equipping only flagship hardware won’t magically give the phone extraordinary photographing abilities. That’s why Chase also mentioned that Realme has developed a brand new advanced imaging algorithm for the Realme GT Neo 3 that focuses 94% faster than its predecessor, the Realme GT Neo2 and allows for shutter speeds that are also 62% faster. The executive also exclaims that the device will sport better a night mode, to make it an all-scene photographing device no matter day or night.

Despite being an upper mid-range offering from Realme, the Realme GT Neo 3 pulls no punches compared to its flagship siblings. Besides its camera, the Realme GT Neo 3 was also revealed to be the first-ever smartphone in the industry to be equipped with 150W wired charging for consumers. Realme claims that the new charging technology allows for the device to charge from 0% to 50% within 5 minutes! 

Another highlight of the Realme GT Neo 3 includes its MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor in which early benchmarks reveal that the chip’s performance also surpasses that of Qualcomm’s highest-end chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. And of course, screen quality is also a highlight for the device as it boasts a 120Hz flat AMOLED display with a staggering 94.2% screen to body ratio, and a 1000Hz touch sampling rate for smooth performance on the go.

Last year, realme launched two models in the realme GT Master series. These smartphones are called realme GT Master Edition and realme GT Master Explorer Edition. The latter has now started receiving realme UI 3.0 stable update based on Android 12.

The realme GT Master Explorer Edition got access to the realme UI 3.0 Early Access update in November. This means it took the brand almost 4 months to deliver the stable release.

Unsurprisingly, the update is being rolled out in batches. In simpler words, it is only available for a select few users. But it should reach every user in the coming days.

Further, since this is an OTA software update intended for the general public, it will not erase the device’s internal storage. However, it is recommended to back up important data to avoid loss in case of any issue.

Having said that, the realme GT Master Explorer Edtion is a China-exclusive smartphone. Hence, there will not be a global rollout for its latest software update.

Anyway, if you have imported one, the unit will get the OTA update when it is made available for everyone in the coming days. In fact, going by realme’s track record, the handset may receive one more Android update in the future.

Ahead of Christmas, realme started rolling out Android 12-based realme UI 3.0 stable update for the realme GT in China. A few days from that, this update is now being seeded out in India as well. Thus, the device becomes the first realme phone to get Android 12 in the country.

According to an official announcement post (via XDA Developers) on realme Community, the realme UI 3.0 stable update for realme GT in India arrives with firmware version RMX2202_11.C.05.

Just like any other OTA software update, this one is also being rolled out in batches. Hence, the brand requests users to be patient as the update will take some to reach every unit across the region.

The official changelog for the latest system update for realme GT in India does not mention the security patches. But we think it should be bundled with December 2021 security patches.

As far as new features are concerned, realme UI 3.0 brings everything that’s included in ColorOS 12. That’s because realme’s Android skin is a fork of OPPO’s mobile software, which is now being also used by OnePlus.

Having said that, as realme has already begun the Android 12 beta program for multiple other devices, they could also start receiving stable releases in the coming days.

According to an official announcement post (via XDA Developers) on realme Community China, the company has started rolling out realme UI 3.0 stable update for the realme GT in its home country. The device has become the first realme phone to bag Android 12 stable update.

The firm says that the latest system update with firmware version RMX2202_11_C.10 is currently being pushed out in batches. The fresh software build is said to reach all users of the Chinese variant within 15 days from December 22.

After updating to the new software, users may face certain optimization and battery consumption issues. However, realme assures that they will get fixed by themselves in 2-3 days of usage.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any timeline for the international availability of this update. Hopefully, the brand starts rolling it out sooner than later.

Just like previous iterations, realme UI 3.0 is based on ColorOS, ColorOS 12 to be exact. It sports all the new features and changes that OPPO’s latest mobile software brings along with Android 12 features from Google.

A lot of people are actually impressed by the Motorola Edge X30 which came up as the world’s first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But there is another flagship killer even more affordable which is catalyzing the attention of the experts: the new Motorola Edge S30. A lot of people are wondering whether or not the Motorola Edge S30 is the best flagship killer in terms of value for money. In order to understand it, we think that the best way is comparing it to the other flagship killers providing the same level of performance. After the comparison with the Motorola Edge X30, here is a comparison between Motorola Edge S30 and Realme GT.

Giveaway: Win A Motorola Edge X30

Realme GT 5G vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

The Racing Yellow color option of the Realme GT 5G wins the design comparison as it is one of the most beautiful and original phones of this year. It has a rear cover made of leather and an aluminum frame, as well as more compact dimensions if compared to its rival. The non-leather version of the handset is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame. The Motorola Edge S30 is a bit disappointing in terms of design because it is entirely made of plastic and has big dimensions. The Realme GT 5G is more attractive and built with more premium materials, but at least the Edge S30 is a water-repellent phone.

Display

If you are looking for the most advanced display, then you should go for the Realme GT 5G without thinking twice. Unlike its opponent, it has an AMOLED display showing richer colors. It is a smaller display, but the image quality is higher. The display has a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Motorola Edge S30 features a higher 144 Hz refresh rate and HDR10, as well as a wider 6.8-inch diagonal, but it is an average LCD panel and you do not get the same image quality. Last but not least, the Realme GT 5G has an in-display fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers, while the Motorola Edge S30 has a mono speaker and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

The Motorola Edge S30 wins the hardware comparison because it features a stronger chipset: the Snapdragon 888+ running at a max frequency of 2.99 GHz and supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The memory configuration of the Realme GT 5G is the same, but it is paired with a weaker Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. However, the difference in terms of performance is just marginal. Both the phones run Android 11, but the Realme GT 5G has a more advanced customized interface with a higher number of exclusive features.

Camera

The best camera phone of this comparison is the Motorola Edge S30. It provides a better main camera with a 108 MP resolution, as well as a better 13 MP ultrawide sensor. Further, it has a selfie camera with a brighter focal aperture. The Motorola Edge S30 is able to record 4K videos and 10-bit videos with HDR10+, and this is another added value.

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 packs a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, which is actually bigger than the battery of the Realme GT 5G. So it should provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios and this is very important because the battery life is the weakest point of the Realme GT 5G. On the other hand, Realme GT 5G supports 65W fast charging and it charges a lot quicker than Motorola Edge S30.

Price

The Motorola Edge S30 hitten the Chinese market with a starting price of €280/$317, while you can find the Realme GT 5G in the global market with a €399/$452 starting price. At the moment, Edge S30 is only available in China. At the end of the day, I personally prefer the Realme GT 5G due to its better display and design, but the Motorola Edge S30 has a slightly superior chipset, bigger battery, and a slightly better camera. Which one would you pick?

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.

Having said that, we believe that more details about the realme GT 2 will emerge in the coming days leading up to the day of its official announcement.

Realme GT Neo2 hitten the European market a few days ago with an interesting promotion that will last for all the Black Friday period. Thanks to the promotion, its listing price becomes even more affordable than its predecessor Realme GT 5G, which is the only other flagship killer launched by Realme in Europe this year. However, the street prices of the Realme GT 5G are great too in this period. That is the reason why a lot of people are wondering whether they should go for the Realme GT Neo2 or the Realme GT while the price of the two handsets is more or less the same. In this comparison, we will analyze the differences between the two flagships.

Realme GT Neo2 vs Realme GT 5G

Design

If you choose the Racing Yellow color variant of the Realme GT 5G, you will get the most attractive design. This variant is indeed built with a leather back and an aluminum frame, providing great materials and an amazing touch & feel. It is slightly thicker than the average phone, but the leather back is very good to see, especially in that yellow color option. If we only focus on the glass variant, then Realme GT Neo2 has a more interesting design due to better aesthetics for the camera module and better color options. Note that the Realme GT Neo2 is bigger than Realme GT 5G because it has a wider display.

Display

With the Realme GT Neo2 and the Realme GT 5G, you get more or less the same display quality. They come with an AMOLED display supporting the HDR10 certification, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and an under-display fingerprint reader for the authentication. They also pack stereo speakers for a great audio experience, but the Realme GT 5G is the only one with a 3.5 mm audio jack. Coming back to the displays, the real difference between these two panels is the dimensions: Realme GT 5G has 6.43 inches, while the Realme GT Neo2 comes with a wider 6.62-inch display which may be better for gamers and productivity.

Specs & Software

The hardware department is superior on the Realme GT 5G simply because this phone is powered by a stronger processor. We are talking about the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm, an octa-core built at 5 nm running at a frequency of 2.84 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Realme GT Neo2 has a less impressive Snapdragon 870, while the memory configurations are the same. Nothing changed in the software: Android 11 and Realme UI 2.0 for both handsets. They will most likely get two major Android updates in the European market.

Camera

Just like the software, even the cameras of the Realme GT 5G and the Realme GT Neo2 are exactly the same. On the rear side, there is a 64 MP main camera with an f/1.8 focal aperture, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera, while on the front there is a 16 MP selfie camera. It is an average camera setup, good for a mid-ranger but bad for a flagship. That is the main compromise of these phones and what allowed Realme to guarantee such a low price.

Battery

The main advantage of the Realme GT Neo2 over the Realme GT 5G is the battery: the former has a bigger battery capacity with 5000 mAh, while the latter stops at 4500 mAh. Both the phones support 65W fast charging, but the GT 5G obviously needs less time for a full charge because of its smaller battery.

Price

The starting listing price of the Realme GT 5G and the Realme GT Neo2 is €449/$505 for the 8/128 GB configuration. There is no definitive winner for this comparison: I personally prefer the Realme GT 5G because it has a better chipset and a leather back in the Racing Yellow color variant, but if you care more about having a longer battery life, then you should go for the Realme GT Neo2 which is still powered by a great Snapdragon 870 processor.

Flagship killers are becoming every day more premium thanks to brands like Xiaomi and Realme. The former just launched a new flagship series in the European market which includes the new Xiaomi 11T, a device sold with an outstanding price tag if we consider its high-end specifications. But there is an important rival to beat for the new Xiaomi 11T, a rival that reached impressive street prices in Europe: the Realme GT. If we exclude the OnePlus Nord 2, these two are definitely the best flagship killers under €400-500 released in the last period. This comparison will help you to understand which is the best flagship killer between the latest ones released by Xiaomi and Realme.

Xiaomi 11T vs Realme GT 5G

Design

If you pick the Racing Yellow color variant of the Realme GT 5G, you get the most original design you can currently find on the flagship killer segment in the European market. The Realme GT 5G Racing Yellow comes with a leather back and an aluminum frame providing an amazing touch & feel and a solid grip, as well as very beautiful aesthetics. The Xiaomi 11T has a classic glass back paired with an aluminum frame and it is less impressive than Realme GT 5G in terms of design, but it features the IP53 certification thanks to which it is splash resistant and dust resistant. Further, it has the Gorilla Glass Victus protection for both the glass back and the display. Besides being more impressive, the Realme GT 5G is also lighter than Xiaomi 11T.

Display

On the paper, Xiaomi 11T has a superior display. First of all, it is wider with a diagonal of 6.67 inches. Further, it is able to show up to one billion colors with a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. The color reproduction is definitely better than Realme GT 5G, but the latter comes with an in-display fingerprint reader, while Xiaomi 11T has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Both the phones have an AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution.

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the most advanced hardware, then you should choose the Realme GT 5G. The Snapdragon 888 mobile platform is undoubtedly more powerful than the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 found on the Xiaomi 11T. Further, with the Realme GT 5G, you can get 12 GB of RAM, while the max amount of RAM provided by the Xiaomi 11T is 8 GB. The phones run Android 11 out of the box and will get at least two major updates to new Android versions. They support 5G and they also come with powerful stereo speakers.

Camera

The Xiaomi 11T is not a high-end camera phone, but it is still better than Realme GT 5G thanks to its superior 108 MP main camera. Further, it has a better macro camera with a 5 MP resolution, even though macro cameras are not very useful due to their low resolutions. With the Xiaomi 11T, you should get slightly better photos with a higher level of detail.

Battery

The battery became a very important aspect of flagship phones because they have a high energy consumption due to their powerful hardware and high refresh rates. The Xiaomi 11T provides a bigger 5000 mAh battery, while Realme GT 5G has a capacity of just 4500 mAh. The difference in terms of battery life is consistent, with the Xiaomi 11T providing a full day of battery life with a lot more usage patterns. Both the phones support very fast charging technologies with powers of 67W and 65W, respectively.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi 11T is €499/$571 for the 8/128 GB configuration, while the Realme GT 5G starts from €449/$515, but you can actually find it for €399/$457 thanks to online street prices. The Xiaomi 11T has a better display, as well as a superior camera and a bigger battery, while the Realme GT 5G offers a stronger hardware department and a more attractive design with a more affordable price. Which one should you go for? Both are amazing flagships and both carry amazing prices, so it is mostly a matter of tastes; whatever you choose, you will get an excellent user experience at great prices.

Realme just released its new model, the Realme GT Neo2. The brand’s last major release was the Realme GT Master series, which was released around the end of July. So the new model comes just a couple of months after the GT Master series. The reason why Realme is able to confidently update its product library so quickly is because of its increasing sales figures in the global market. It continues to be the fastest-growing phone brand in the world in 2021. 

The Realme GT series has become one of the top-selling phone series in the last season due to its high value for money. And the new GT Neo2 is another attractive option that still continues the GT series’ credo. 

Judging from the features, it looks like the new model isn’t going to give competitors a chance to breathe. This time, the Realme GT Neo2 focuses on gaming performance. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 870 platform, which is also the most commended flagship chipset for Android this year especially since Snapdragon 888 models often faced thermal issues. 

So is the GT Neo2 going to maintain the brand’s attacking position in the market? Let’s find out. 

Realme Neo GT2 Unboxing

First, let’s unbox the device and talk about its design. The GT Neo2 continues to apply Realme’s classic packaging, and we can see the main selling points of the phone at the back, including a 870 processor, 120Hz E4 AMOLED display, 65W superfast charging, and the brand-new cooling solution. And the most intriguing selling point is definitely the new cooling solution. We are very curious to see if it can help the chipset achieve an even better performance output.

We will come to this very soon in this review. 

Once you open the box, we can see the phone is on the upper layout. And below the phone, there is an attached phone case and the 66W charging suit. 

Realme Neo GT2 Review: Design & Display

Well, looking back to the phone, we have to say that Realme always gives us surprises over colors. This time, apart from the Blue and black variants, Realme offers an extremely visually appealing color, which is none but the Neo green variant in our hands. The contrast rear design between fluorescent green and black looks so realme-style. The green area adapts AG-glass processing, and it feels so smooth that the glass cover reminds us of a silky texture.

Even the bulging camera module has a consistent color finish. Over to the right side, the dark glossy bar with the brand logo makes this design stand out and brings a balance to the fancy green color shade. No doubt, the green version will become the favorite of many users. But if you prefer a simple and low-profile design, we still recommend the Black or Blue variant since they look more elegant. 

The front face of the phone uses a 6.62-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a hole punched at the left upper corner, which looks no different from the brand’s previous models. However, this display is probably the best display that you can have in this price range.

The Full-HD+ display is made of a Samsung E4 panel with a peak local brightness at 1300 nits. While playing HDR Content, it has a well-tuned color presentation and decent contrast. 

And unlike those edge-curved displays, the flat panel on the GT Neo 2 looks more comfortable with a better presentation of edge content. In addition, on this 120Hz display, all the operations and animations feel very smooth similar to those of premium models. 

Compared to its predecessor, the Realme GT Neo2 has upgraded its battery capacity up to 5000mAh, which makes long hours of gaming very easy. But at the same time, the larger battery will increase the thickness and weight of the phone to some extent. The GT Neo 2 is 8.6mm thick and weighs 199.8g, which is still acceptable for most gamers when considering the 5000mAh battery. 

And coupled with Realme’s 65W fast-charging efficiency, the large battery could still be easily charged to 100% in just 37 mins. Note that fast charging can also be used while gaming, which is definitely good news for those long hours of gaming. 

Realme Neo GT2 Review: Performance & Gaming

As for performance, since the phone is powered by the flagship-grade Snapdragon 870 chipset, we no longer need to mention how powerful the processor can be. 

Just check the benchmark results we got here. They are almost the best results that we’ve got among all Snapdragon 870 platforms.

Now, let’s move on to its actual gaming performance. In PUBG Mobile, the GT Neo 2 could give us an extremely stable gaming experience at 60fps frame rate, which is one of the best results that we tested this game under HDR graphics.

Then, in the stressful Genshin Impact under the highest graphics settings, it surprisingly got an excellent average frame rate at 58.23fps. But here, please note that in some complicated scenes, the running state got a bit fluctuated. But thanks to the powerful thermal design, when it came to some less stressful scenes, the phone pulled the performance up again and maintained a smooth experience.

Then, we subject it to another heavy game, Nimian Legend. Under 1080P resolution with top graphic settings, the phone proved itself again with the frame rate result of 53.30fps. We continuously played the three games for a total of 1 and a half hours, but impressively, the phone didn’t really heat up much.

Well, at least it was not like other gaming models, as the max surface temperature only reached around 46℃. With such a powerful performance output, such a cooling effect is very rare on the models powered by the Snapdragon 870. 

Although it’s not strictly a gaming phone, the GT Neo2’s gaming performance is close to or even exceeds what other gaming phones can do. More importantly, during all the tests under the aggressive GT mode, the phone didn’t let thermal issues become a limitation of the stable performance output. 

Realme Neo GT2 Review: Cameras

On this phone, we also want to talk about its camera performance. The Neo 2 comes with a 64MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, and another 2MP macro lens. 

Main Camera

1 of 10

Let’s start with the main camera. From the samples, we found that the image tone of the main camera looks brilliant, and sometimes it even could be a bit over-saturated when shooting vivid subjects. And sometimes the image could be overexposed when meeting high-contrast scenarios and lost detail in extremely bright parts. Apart from these things, the image looks pretty awesome, thanks to its rich detail and life-like colors. And it also has good performance in night shooting. Under low light conditions, most images are clean with a good dynamic range. But under extremely low light conditions, the images are not so good at capturing dark details. 

Wide Angle Camera

1 of 10

As for the wide-angle camera, the images have a pretty good white balance and close color presentation with the main camera. But the purple fringing issue is a bit serious, especially at the corners.

Under general night scenes, the images look good but under extreme low light scenes, the samples have no surprises despite improvements in overall brightness.  

So obviously the image quality of the wide-angle lens still needs to be optimized.

Macro Camera

Well, the macro lens only comes with 2MP resolution. So the images shot on this lens are not really impressive. For shooting close subjects, we prefer to use the main camera, which has much better color and details. 

Street Mode

1 of 6

In addition, we found that Realme has added the Street mode to the GT Neo2, which used to be an exclusive shooting mode for the GT Master series. The images shot in this mode have really strong styles and more dramatic filters for options. And it also supports quick open by double-pressing a volume button when the screen is off, which is really useful in street photography. 

Realme Neo GT2 Review: Battery Life

In our test about its battery life, the result shows that the 5000mAh battery can support a slightly longer usage time than those models featuring 4000 or 4500mAh batteries. Coupled with the 37 minutes of full charge efficiency, there’s no need to worry about power while playing games for a long time. 

So the Realme GT Neo 2 no doubt is another flagship killer for the brand. 

We talked about its impressive design, excellent display quality, powerful performance, amazing power solution, revolutionary cooling system, and so on. It has almost all the important features to be a real flagship killer. If you don’t care much about the phone’s cameras, the GT Neo 2 will not let you down at this price point.

Chinese tech brand realme has confirmed to unveil realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 on October 13. Ahead of that, the company has kicked off the ‘Android 12 Eary Access’ program for realme GT 5G in its home country

The realme GT 5G is the brand’s first and the only Snapdragon 888-powered smartphone released to date. Hence, it positions this device as its flagship phone. Hence, it is the first model to receive Android 12.

According to an official announcement post on realme Community China, only 700 users will be able to experience Android 12 on the realme GT 5G in China initially. The registrations for the initiative have been opened and they will be closed when the required number of users get selected. 

The company says that user data will not be erased when upgrading from realme UI 2.0 to Android 12 Early Access. However, it still recommends users to back up the date and store it somewhere else to restore it if required.

The only requirement to join the program is that the phone should not be rooted. Whereas, the selection criteria will be based on a questionnaire.

Interestingly, realme does not call this software realme UI 3.0. But we believe it should be an early release of 3rd-gen realme UI with some missing features.

Having said that, we expect realme to shed more details on its latest software next week.

In an age where smartphones look increasingly similar to each other, it’s hard to find a fresh design. But there are a few brands who like to experiment with their designs, eager to stand out from the crowd.

Realme is definitely one of them. But instead of trying to find a fresh design by themselves, the brand decided to cooperate with the famous industrial designer, Naoto Fukasawa, aiming to give consumers a fresh take on smartphone design. And on the Realme GT Master series, we felt this freshness, where the smartphone, owing to its design, felt a lot more personal than just another computing machine.

Today we’re going to review and compare the two models in the Realme GT master series. First one is the Realme GT Master edition, while the other one is the Realme GT Master Explorer edition. Let’s find out what more they have in addition to the brilliant design, and what makes both these Master models stand out from the rivals in its respective price segments.

Realme GT Master & Explorer Editions: Design

Let’s first start with their designs. It must be said that in the highly competitive Android camp, the hardware performance between models in the same price range is basically very similar. Therefore, the design is a key element that’ll give it an edge. This time, both the master and explorer models have a special version that presents Fukasawa’s design. We’re lucky to get the Fukasawa version of the master model, so in this design section, we will mainly show you the master model in our hand which is co-designed with Fukasawa.

Considering the front is completely occupied by the display, Fukasawa’s ‘unconscious design’ philosophy is naturally directed on the back of the model. This time, he is inspired by the everyday travel luggage, with the phone’s rear featuring horizontal grid patterns. The vegan leather material is not only visually pleasing, but also comfortable to hold in your hand. In fact, the soft material at the back reminds me of common objects from our everyday life like a handbag, or a luggage, and even your car’s interior.

While I agree that the leather-like material used on the back is not exclusive to the GT Master model, but the unique luggage pattern is like adding a soul to the design. It no longer lacks imagination like those phones with a basic colored leather finish.

And in actual use, thanks to its excellent built quality, this design ensures I have a good grip, which prevents any unwanted drops.

Realme GT Master vs Explorer Editions: Hardware Differences

There are some general details that distinguish the two models in terms of their designs. For example, the Master’s frame is made of plastic while the explorer model uses a metal frame.

The front faces of the two models are slightly different as well. The GT master edition is equipped with a 6.43-inch flat hole-punch 120Hz display, while the Explorer version uses a slightly bigger edge-curved one. Both of them get Samsung’s Amoled panel, which offers excellent colors. When playing HDR content, both models were smart enough to activate HDR colors. Considering their competitive pricing, especially for the Master model, it’s quite surprising that they get top-notch displays. Meanwhile, both of them support up to 120Hz refresh rate, which also brings excellent UI fluency.

As for their audio performance, the dual-speaker setup of the explorer version no doubt is much better than the single speaker on the standard master version. But considering their pricing difference, the GT Master’s performance is still acceptable.

As for their performance, the standard Master version is powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset, while the explorer version features a Snapdragon 870 chip. According to the benchmarks we ran, it’s obvious the explorer model’s performance driven by the 870 chipset was able to compare to other famous flagship killers. However, the master model’s scores were surprisingly competitive as well. The performance was almost equal to the average level of last year’s Android flagships. The biggest surprise is the CPU multi-core performance of the master model, which almost caught up with the explorer version.

In actual gaming, both models can run PUBG Mobile without any issues. In Genshin Imapct, the 870 chipset didn’t disappoint us, and under default performance mode, it can run the game stably at 48.4fps with excellent thermal management. While on the Master model, the result of the 43fps was better than our expectation. And when we turned on GT mode on the explorer model, the gaming performance got a significant boost.

Realme GT Master vs Explorer Editions: Camera

The camera setup is the biggest difference between these two models. The explorer model features a better main camera and adds a wide-angle lens with higher resolution. Actually, the main camera of the master model comes with 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor, which has an even higher resolution than the Sony IMX766 sensor. So let’s look at their samples.

Main Camera

1 of 10

For the main camera, we have to say that the gap here is not so significant under good lighting conditions. Both the devices produced great colors with decent sharpness. Only under some complicated scenarios, the Explorer model is able to deliver higher dynamic range to cover darker details with less image noise. In addition, if we look closer, we can see that the explorer edition did a better job when dealing with the fringing issue, while the master model might relatively degrade the edge-picture quality.

Night Scenes

1 of 10

When coming to night scenes, the gap of the main cameras was more obvious. The explorer’s main camera could achieve better overall brightness and reserve better shadow detail. But if we didn’t directly compare it with the explorer model, the master model actually performed pretty well and could be one of the best camera phones in its price range.

Ultra-Wide Angle Camera

1 of 8

Well, the competition of wide-angle cameras is uncontested in this comparison due to the explorer model’s 16MP resolution. The samples shot on the explorer model generally had a purer image with sharper detail. But there was still some good detail in the samples shot from the master model too.

Both the phones are equipped with a 2MP macro lens as a third camera. From the samples we shot, we found that the samples from the master model looks better than the explorer model. It has brighter colors with purer blur effect.

In addition to the camera performance we mentioned, this time Realme creatively developed an exclusive photographic mode for the GT master series, which is the street mode. It’s a convenient shooting mode that truly takes advantage of the phone as a smart portable camera.

Users can dual-click the volume button to quick start the street mode. Once you enter the street mode, you can see the special filters that has been applied over the camera preview interface. It features digital image stabilization to smartly recognize motion of objects shot in the preview screen and then accordingly apply an appropriate shutter. Meanwhile, the street mode provides 4 focal lengths as preset. It’s definitely a surprising mode for users who like to point and shoot quick shots with a single phone. The filters preset in the GT master and explorer editions are pretty special. But please note that with the filter, the image looks emotional but has a relatively lower dynamic range than the images shot under auto mode. And unfortunately, the street mode is not available in video shooting. I really recommend Realme to open the street mode for video shooting.

Realme GT Master vs Explorer Editions: Battery & Charging

As for the battery and charging, there’s no obvious difference between these two models. Although the Explorer model features a slightly bigger battery, the master model achieved a better result in our battery life test, which probably is the credit of the efficient 778G chipset. In the charging test, both were fully charged with the same 67W charging efficiency in 30mins.

So that’s all about the comparison between the Realme GT master and the GT Master Explorer. Both of them are outstanding models in their respective price ranges. By far, the Explorer model is one of the best flagship-killer models that I would recommend, while the GT Master is my best budget pick since it’s quite literally the only budget model that comes with a unique stand-out design.

Handset maker realme has finally launched the realme GT series in India after teasing it for a while. The brand has brought two models to the country, namely realme GT  (review) and realme GT Master Edition (hands-on). Let’s take a look at what these smartphones have to offer and how much they cost in the region.

realme GT, realme GT Master Edition Specifications & Features

The realme GT and the realme GT Master Edition flaunt a 6.43-inch Samsung Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 120Hz refresh rate, and 360Hz touch sampling rate. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 98% of the NTSC color gamut. It has a peak brightness of 1000 nits, 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 91.7% screen-to-body ratio, and a single punch-hole at the top left corner.

Just like the display, the rear camera setup is also identical on the two. Both sport a triple camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro shooter. However, for selfies and video calls, the vanilla GT uses a 16MP snapper, whereas the Master Edition has a 32MP sensor.

Now, talking about the major difference, the realme GT is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset as compared to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC present inside the realme GT Master Edition. The former comes with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage but there’s no information on the type of RAM and storage included with the latter.

On the connectivity front, the duo supports dual-SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, and NFC. Further, the realme GT has a 3.5mm headphone jack as well as dual stereo speakers. The realme GT Master Edition, on the other hand, lacks both of these features. Anyway, the duo arrives with all the essential sensors like an in-display fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, compass, proximity sensor, and gyroscope.

Although the two run realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 and support 65W SuperDart fast charging protocol, the standard model is backed by a 4,500mAh battery, while the Master Edition gets its energy from a slightly smaller 4,300mAh battery.

These phones measure around 8-9mm in thickness and weigh about 170-190g. They come in glass and vegan leather finishes. Last but not least, the leather finish on the Master Edition has a suitcase-inspired design.

Realme will be announcing the Realme GT and Realme GT Master Edition smartphones on Aug. 18 in India. Ahead of the launch, Realme Times has teamed up with tipster Yogesh Brar to leak the pricing, configurations, and color variants of both smartphones for the country.

The new leak reveals that the Realme GT will be arriving in India in two choices such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. It will come in three colors like Dashing Blue, Dashing Silver, and Racing Yellow. The leak has no information on the pricing of the Realme GT 5G. Considering that it claims that the Realme GT 5G will be priced under Rs 30,000 (~$404), it is likely that the Realme GT could be priced around Rs 35,000 (~$471) in the country.

Coming to the Realme GT Master Edition, it will arrive in two options such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. Possibly, the two variants could be priced at Rs 25,999 (~$350) and Rs 27,999 (~$377), respectively. Its color variants include Cosmos Black, Voyager Grey, and Luna White.

The Realme GT has a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz screen, whereas the GT Master Edition features a 6.55-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display. While the former features a 32-megapixel selfie camera, the latter gets a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. Both smartphones are equipped with a 64-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) rear-facing triple camera unit.

The Realme GT is driven by the Snapdragon 888 chip and a 4,500mAh battery, whereas the Master Edition is fueled by the Snapdragon 778G SoC and a 4,300mAh battery. Both phones carry support for 65W fast charging.

Earlier this year, Realme unveiled its GT series in the Chinese market including handsets like GT 5G, GT Neo, GT Neo Flash Edition, and GT Master Edition. A few of these phones from the series will now go global on August 18 with the launch in Europe and India. While Realme is planning to proliferate the new series in multiple markets, it’s also ground working to shelve off an old smartphone series.

Reportedly, Realme is planning to discontinue its upper mid-range Realme X series and it may replace it with the Realme GT series. In talks with the folks at TechRadar, Realme’s CEO Madhav Sheth confirmed that the new Realme GT series will officially replace the older Realme X series.

Sheth said, “The X will be replaced by the GT; so the GT is the new X.” It means the X lineup which offered high-end specs at affordable prices will no longer be in working. However, the GT series, which anyway offers a similar flagship-like experience, will take the lead from now on.

Notably, the other phone lineups from Realme – the Realme C series, Realme numbered series, and Narzo series will continue to launch in their set segments. The new GT lineup, on the other hand, will just be an addition.

That said, the series is currently available in China and is launching in other major markets like Europe and India. We can expect the series to reach more markets soon and we may also see some new phones incoming this year or next year.

If you need a flagship but you also want the most affordable price, you have two very interesting choices this year, and they are not released by Xiaomi. We are talking about Realme GT and OnePlus Nord 2 5G: these two devices are sold in the global market with the best Qualcomm chipset and the best MediaTek chipset, respectively. Even though they vary depending on the market, their prices are always very similar and if you are not an expert you will most likely have a hard time choosing which one to buy. This comparison will highlight the main differences between Realme GT and OnePlus Nord 2 5G and, hopefully, it will tell you which handset you should opt for.

Realme GT 5G vs OnePlus Nord 2 5G

Design

The Realme GT has a very original and attractive design. There is a color option that includes an eco leather back made of two pieces: the eco leather part and a black glass stripe with a beautiful pattern inside. This phone clearly reminds me of sports cars and that is the reason why its name is GT. The handset also comes in different color options with a traditional glass back. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a less unique phone: it has a good design, but it comes with a classic glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The dimensions of the handsets are more or less the same.

Display

The Realme GT and OnePlus Nord 2 5G are similar even when it comes to the displays. With these devices, you get two AMOLED panels with a diagonal of 6.43 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, as well as the HDR10 certification which improves the image quality. There are also in-display fingerprint readers. The only important difference between these two panels is the refresh rate: the Realme GT is superior because it supports up to 120 Hz, while OnePlus Nord 2 5G stops at 90 Hz. Note that the refresh rate does not impact the image quality but only the smoothness of the display.

Specs & Software

Realme GT has a better hardware department simply because it packs a superior chipset. We are referring to the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm which is definitely stronger than the Dimensity 1200 by MediaTek found on the OnePlus Nord 2 5G. However, you still get a flagship-class level of performance with the Dimensity 1200 SoC, so having a Snapdragon 888 is not a so big deal. The memory configurations are the same: 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage depending on the chosen variant. The phones run Android 11 out of the box with OxygenOS and Realme UI to customize it. As for now, these two user interfaces are very similar as they are both based on ColorOS by OPPO.

Camera

The main advantage of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G is the better camera setup it is able to offer. It has a Sony IMX766 main camera with a 50 MP resolution which can provide a better photo quality and it also comes with OIS. With the Realme GT, you get an inferior 64 MP camera without OIS. The secondary sensor of the rear camera module are the same: an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G also offers a better front camera with a resolution of 32 MP, while Realme GT has an inferior 16 MP lens.

Battery

The Realme GT and the OnePlus Nord 2 5G pack the same battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh which supports 65W fast charging. Do they also provide the same battery life? It depends on the usage. If you use the 120 Hz refresh rate on the Realme GT, it will drain more battery compared to the 90 Hz of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G. Further, the Snapdragon 888 is built with a better 5 nm production process, so it is able to offer a lower energy consumption in a few scenarios. But at the end of the day, the battery life should not be so different.

Price

The prices of the Realme GT and the OnePlus Nord 2 5G for the global market are starting from €399/$472. Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G looks a bit more interesting for those who are searching for good camera performance, while Realme GT is more attractive for those who prefer an original design, a higher refresh rate, and a better chipset. For the rest, they are pretty much the same.

Realme CEO Madhav Sheth has finally confirmed the Realme GT launch date for India. In the latest edition of the AskMadhav YouTube series, Sheth confirmed that both smartphones will be made official on Aug. 18. He also shared some other information about the upcoming Realme GT series for India.

The Realme GT 5G for India will have the same specs as its global edition. In addition, it will be available in the same colors as the global version, which means it will come in Dashing Silver, Dashing Blue, and Racing Yellow (leather variant). The Realme GT Master Edition inspired by traveling and suitcases will also debut alongside it.

Last month in China, Realme unveiled the Realme GT Master Edition and GT Master Explorer Edition with ridged patterns and soft-touch leather inspired from suitcases. While the GT and GT Master are set to launch on Aug. 18, there is no word on whether the GT Master Explorer will be made available in India at some point.

Realme GT and GT Master Edition specifications

The Realme GT and GT Master Edition have a 6.43-inch S-AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display. While the former is powered by Snapdragon 888 and 12 GB of RAM, the latter features the Snapdragon 778G chip and 8 GB of RAM. Both devices offer up to 256 GB of internal storage, and they are preinstalled with Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11.

The GT and GT Master Edition are fitted with a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. The former has a 16-megapixel front camera, whereas the latter gets a 32-megapixel selfie camera. They are powered by a 4,300mAh and a 4,500mAh battery, respectively, and they are equipped with support for 65W fast charging.

Realme announced the Realme GT 5G flagship in China. It was made official in global markets a few months later. Realme is expected to launch the Realme GT in Q3 in India. Today, Realme India and Europe CEO Madhav Sheth took to Twitter to tease the arrival of new Realme GT series phones in India.

Sheth shared the below shown image and asked, “Which of these would you want next to be launched in India?” The Realme GT Neo has already launched in India with Realme X7 Max 5G moniker. Hence, it appears that Realme GT 5G, Realme GT Master Edition, and Realme GT Explorer Master Edition may break cover in India soon.

Probably, these devices may go official in India in the coming month. Hence, Realme India is expected to release more teasers for the upcoming GT series in the coming week.

Realme GT 5G specifications

After Realme, even Xiaomi decided to launch a “GT” phone. We are talking about the POCO F3 GT, which is actually a gaming-centric phone and flagship killer offering amazing specifications at a modest price. Is the GT solution by Xiaomi able to compete with the Realme GT which is actually the first GT phone ever? It surely belongs to the same segment, but which are the differences between their specifications and which one is better? This comparison between POCO F3 GT and Realme GT will try to let you find the answers to these questions.

Xiaomi POCO F3 GT vs Realme GT

Design

If we consider the Racing Yellow color variant of the Realme GT, it is undoubtedly a more attractive phone when it comes to aesthetics. It has a leather rear cover with a glass stripe on the left making it very suggestive and original: it reminds me of a sports car and that is where the GT moniker comes from. Further, the Realme GT is a more compact phone because it packs a smaller battery and it comes with a smaller display. The phone also comes in more affordable color options sporting a glass back just like the POCO F3 GT. On the other hand, POCO F3 GT offers physical maglev triggers which will please gamers a lot.

Display

Are you looking for the most advanced display? If so, go for the POCO F3 GT without thinking twice. It has an AMOLED display that is able to show up to one billion colors, unlike the Realme GT. Further, it has the HDR10+ certification improving the quality on streaming platforms. Despite the POCO F3 GT has a superior display, Realme GT is all but disappointing. The phone has an AMOLED display as well, with a 120 Hz refresh rate. But unfortunately, it has an inferior color accuracy. On the other hand, it has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint scanner is side-mounted on the POCO F3 GT.

Specs & Software

The best hardware department belongs to the Realme GT: it is fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal UFS 3.1 storage. With the POCO F3 GT, you get an inferior but still amazing MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset, as well as a max of 8 GB of RAM. So, not only the SoC is inferior, but you also get a lower quantity of RAM: there is no doubt about the fact that Realme GT is more powerful. The phones run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

These phones are flagship killers but not camera phones. Their camera setups are very similar and they are midrange-class. POCO F3 GT and Realme GT are equipped with a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera, as well as a 16 MP front camera. The photo quality is more or less at the same level. If you need a camera phone, you’d better focus on something else because these phones are not what you are looking for.

Battery

An important advantage of the POCO F3 GT over the Realme GT is the battery. The phone packs a bigger 5065 mAh battery, while the Realme GT has just 4500 mAh. This should allow the POCO F3 GT to last more on a single charge, even though we had no chance to test the battery life as it just went official. The POCO F3 GT supports 67W fast charging, while its rival has 65W fast charging, but it charges faster because its battery is smaller. None of these devices support wireless charging.

Price

The Realme GT carries a €399/$470 starting price tag in the global market. The POCO F3 GT is not sold globally and it launched just in India with a starting price of about €310/$365 at the actual change. Overall, the Realme GT offers a superior hardware department and a better design, but the POCO F3 GT has a bigger battery, a better display, and a physical trigger which are very useful for gamers. Which one would you pick?

Realme is all set to hold a new product launch event tomorrow at 02:00 PM local time in China where the company will announce Realme GT Master Edition series phones, designed by Master Naoto Fukasawa.

The Realme GT is one of the cheapest Snapdragon 888 smartphones you can get your hands on. Realme already launched two other versions – the Realme GT Neo and the Realme GT Neo Flash Edition – which are both powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 chipset. It is now set to announce a 4th variant that will arrive as the Realme GT Master Edition. A new leak has now revealed that we will actually get two versions of the phones.

The source of the info is the Chinese leaker that goes by Arsenal on Weibo. According to his post, there is more than one version of the Realme GT Master Edition. He further explains that there is another version of the phone that can be called the Realme GT Pro Master Edition but that is not the official name. He concludes by saying more details will surface in the promotional materials.

We do not know the specs of this “pro” model but there is a possibility it has a Snapdragon 888 processor like the Realme GT rather than a Snapdragon 870 chipset that will come with the Realme GT Master Edition.

The Realme GT Master Edition has a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate. It has a 32Mp front-facing camera housed inside a punch hole.
