The Realme GT Review

We have spent a couple of weeks with the mobile that will be the star recommendation of what remains of 2021: the Realme GT. Compact, extremely powerful, with very high quality in most sections and a price that seems from another world,keep reading review.

When we saw the presentation of the Realme GT, the brand’s most powerful mobile to date, we expected the price reveal for Spain to be good, but not as good as it turned out: the highest range was for less than 450 euros. It was quite a blow to the table, but it remained tested to determine if the mobile was worth it. Well, we already have our analysis. Let’s see the verdict.

For our analysis, we have used the model in “vegan leather,” a material covering the rear face except for a vertical band of glass that starts from the objectives (little more than a millimetre protrudes from the body). The touch is very pleasant, it prevents the mobile from slipping, and the yellow makes the Realme GT stand out from the rest. As it hits, we would say that it is difficult to clean if it gets stained; with the advantage that it perfectly resists scratches.

The size of the Realme GT is very contained for what we are used to, and it almost even seems “small” next to our mobile, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The body is made of plastic, and it is the detail that slightly lowers the note of the phone (without the touch being bad). The power button is held high on the right side, as are the volume buttons on the opposite side. And Realme does not miss the opportunity to include a headphone jack: the lower part next to the USB C and the external speaker output (the secondary speaker is in the call speaker, on the screen).

Let’s talk about your screen. The 6.43 inches of diagonal make the Realme GT a quite content mobile, we already said it; without losing quality along the way: Super AMOLED panel with Full HD resolution, the brightness of up to 1,000 nits (looks great even in sunlight), the contrast is very high, the response to the touch is immediate, the Realme GT It offers a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz (it does not consume excessively by activating it) and the colour management is adequate (something saturated is standard, but it can be configured). As a defect, we have seen some inconsistency with the automatic brightness: it is usually greater than what the lighting requires (it requires a manual adjustment that the system does not memorize). This detail has been improved with the latest update.

I am having a high-end that includes a headphone jack that gives points in sound instantly. Not only that: the audio of the Realme GT is of a high level, both with the dual stereo speakers (high volume with some distortion and with some bass boost) and with the headphones. The wired audio is high quality, rich in nuances and with the option to activate Dolby Atmos, it is also possible to customize the sound with a ten-band equalizer. On the other hand, Bluetooth audio is also notorious: great quality, HD audio, and enough power. In addition, the Realme GT has aptX, aptX HD, aptX TWS, aptX Adaptive, AAC and LDAC codecs. It comes well served.
The ultimate in power and outstanding performance

Having a Snapdragon 888 in a 450 euro mobile is already noticeable, but it also comes with 8 GB of DDR5 RAM and 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage is quite a surprise. There is no doubt that the Realme GT is one of the best purchases for those who seek maximum power at the lowest price: the migratory flows like silk, both in apps and games. The 120Hz display helps a lot.

The user experience was magnificent at all times and without us having seen jumps in the change of apps or their startup. The games are displayed at the highest quality, the Realme GT does not overheat, or during long-running sessions, it does not lose connectivity (very fast under WiFi and compatible with 5G), and, in short, it offers the best Android experience with guarantees of maintaining benefits for several years.

Realme GT

The numbers that the Realme GT reaches are high; it is enough to pass the usual performance tests. Below you have the figures compared to other mobiles in its category.
The Realme GT is updated to Android 11 with the latest version of its layer: Realme UI 2.0. The mobile comes light with “leftover” apps (there is hardly any bloatware beyond Google and Realme software), it offers a large number of options through the layer, and its design does not stray too far from “stock” Android. Share services with OPPO thanks to account management (with cloud sync included).
a), the mobile is highly customizable (including icons and fonts), and the automatic power management is on point.

The battery is not exaggerated incapacity, which benefits the final dimensions and weight of the Realme GT. Even so, its autonomy is more than good: apart from the fact that the layer exerts high-level energy management (it can restrict important processes, you have to be careful), the hardware is not too greedy under normal circumstances. Even with the panel at 120 Hz: we have obtained a day and a half of autonomy with more than eight hours of the screen—the life between charge and charge increases by cutting the refresh rate by no more than 10%.

The fast charging of the Realme GT and a battery that is not too exaggerated (although 4,500 mAh is a more than decent figure) provide some ordain times: in less than half an hour, the mobile is charged.

In photography is where the price cut weighs the most.

It has become clear that the Realme GT is a “brown beast” in terms of power and performance; it also scores well on the screen and in autonomy. The average is very high, in contrast to what happens in the field of multimedia capture: the mobile offers a decent photographic set, but it can be improved.

The triple rear camera of the Realme GT reveals certain shortcomings by including a third-fill sensor with a macro lens. In the main one, we find a 64-megapixel camera that does not do a bad job in general circumstances and as long as the light is generous. Indoors and with light deficiency, the results are below expectations.

The 8 megapixel wide-angle reveals its limitations even in broad daylight: the loss of detail is often noticeable. It does maintain colorimetry and white balance with the main sensor (somewhat more overexposed than the main sensor). And the software corrects the deformations at the ends well enough.

The processing tends to a certain saturation of the warm colours, and it also offers a somewhat warm temperature in a general way. The Realme GT has a complete app from which portrait mode (good contour profiling with natural bokeh) and night mode (it takes very dark shots by sacrificing a lot of quality) is not absent. The mechanical stabilization is missing (especially in video, the shots tend to some jitter), also a telephoto (the zoom reaches 10x, always in digital and with loss of sharpness). And it is capable of taking images at the maximum dimensions: 64 megapixels of the main one. The results are not much better than automatic shots (at 15.9 megapixels).

Shots with the main camera offer detail and good overall quality insufficient light. Processing tends to be underexposed, also saturating warmer colours.

Night mode with the Realme GT. The mobile rescues form well, offering much more clarity than there was original. The averages are present with some zoom.
