The firm has been surprising me for months with latest generation mobile phones with great results. If there is something that stands out about these devices, it is the great technological offer they make for the prices at which they are sold. Not long ago we had a chance to test the realme 8 5G and it seemed like a pretty remarkable option. Today we will focus on the new bet of the Chinese brand within the mid-range, the realme GT . What are the great novelties of this mobile? Read on to find out.

A different design: Realme GT, all our opinions on this flagship

If there is one aspect that stands out above the rest, it is the design line of this mobile . Not only is it a clear commitment to attractiveness, but it is also largely detached from past models. The first thing we have been able to notice is the difference in the materials chosen, especially in the case. We have the model in yellow, which has a rough plastic that seeks to imitate the touch of leather. The truth is that it achieves this to a great extent, which provides a better grip and a wonderful visual appearance. You can also find it in mechanical blue and gray, both metallic. From the camera module, to the bottom of the phone, we find a black band of another material that is much dirtier but gives it its own personality.

The realme GT is a very comfortable smartphone, not only because of the materials we have talked about, but also because of its measurements and weight. With 15.8 cm long x 7.3 wide x 0.8 deep and a weight of only 186 grams , we are facing one of the lightest options within the most standard sizes. We love that this is so because I really get used to making somewhat rougher models and it shows that they have wanted to swerve in this regard. Even with all these small changes, the button and connector layout is the same as other times; down the type C and the headphone jack, as well as microphone and speaker, on the right side the unlock button, on the left side the volume up and down and the micro SD, and up another microphone.

Screen without great news: Realme GT, all our opinions on this flagship

As for the screen, we must admit that it follows a bit with the line of what we have already seen in this and other firms. A 6.43-inch Super AMOLED with a FHD + resolution of 2400 x 1080. The most remarkable thing may be the screen-to-body ratio, which for those who do not know what we are talking about, is the percentage of useful screen that the device has. In this case it is quite wide with 91.7%, since it must be taken into account that the fingerprint reader and the front camera are implemented on the screen itself in a very subtle way.

The truth is that it looks very good, and responds well to different viewing angles and light exposure, although the latter could be improved a bit. The refresh rate of 120 Hz helps everything to look a little more fluid, and together with the touch sampling rate that is at 360 Hz, it makes it possible to make use of the mobile very comfortable through the screen.

Cameras with light and dark: Realme GT, all our opinions on this flagship

When we analyze the cameras of different mobile phones, we are very aware of their functionality. To carry out this analysis, it is necessary to see what the objective of the company is with the inclusion of the different sensors and their power. Sony, the developer of this camera, has worked to best apply its technology to mobile phones in this range.

Thus we find a first general sensor of 64 MP , a main camera that is a marvel within this price range. The more general photos are wonderful and we love the results. We continue with a 8 MP wide angle , another of the classics in this sector, which allows taking photos of much wider landscapes with also very good results. But if it fails in some aspect, it is in the inclusion of a macro sensor of only 2 MP , since the images are not very sharp unless the light is almost perfect. Finally, the front camera has 16 MP , and the truth is that the photographs we have taken, especially selfies, have turned out very well.

 In our opinion, this camera is very good for an average user who is used to taking general photos. In addition, the great addition in the options menu allows us to do many things; time lapses, videos 4K 30 FPS, scenic, detail, landscaping, etc . Although it has its limitations, such as a very short zoom or problems in low light exposures. Here is a gallery with some of the photos that we have been able to take:

Performance and internal memory of the realme GT

After carrying out the different tests with the realme GT, we can affirm that it is a model that responds very well. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 processor works wonders and makes the phone very responsive in standard use. What you have to keep in mind is that it is a mid-range device and with continued use at maximum power it will suffer performance drops. It has 8 GB of RAM , which gives it a longer durability and a notable improvement in performance, although we also have the option of acquiring it with 12 GB of RAM, which already makes it an option to take into account.

Memory, the usual in the market. A standard of 128 GB of storage that should be more than enough, and a second option of 256 GB that increases the price a bit but is worth it if we are going to store a lot of content on our smartphone.

Connectivity and battery

The connections of the realme GT are very basic, but in telephony nobody is betting on anything new and it is logical. As for wireless, the usual ones, Bluetooth 5.2, WIFI 6, NFC and GPS. It is true that all in their latest versions for greater efficiency but nothing new. And as for the cable connectors, well, very simple, the USB type C , the most widespread of all, and the 3.5 mm Mini Jackfor headphones. The latter, as we always say, we like a lot, since not everyone is used to using wireless headphones and it should not be an obligation to have them, although we are clear that this option will gradually disappear. Everything is covered by the already super extended 5G, which is not surprising because it already has it in almost all its models.

With the battery, more of the same, a simple but very efficient bet. The 4500 mAh battery gives it an autonomy of more than a day with regular use, which, added to a 65W fast charge with SuperDart technology , gives us the security of not running out of mobile at a bad time as it recharges the mobile in half an hour. As we can see, the technological bet is clear, including options that improve the experience of the device.

Availability and price of the realme GT

In general, the realme GT is a clear technological bet on the part of the developer brand. It is practically remarkable in all its sections, highlighting its innovative and very attractive design above the rest. Undoubtedly, this is a mobile that all those who can make an average outlay and seek good results should take into account. A decent camera, more than efficient performance, all the options in connectivity, fast charging, all are great extras and we love it. That said, we awarded him the Silver GizAward on a fairly high note.
