2K screen, special back cover of the master edition, 189 grams of weight, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, all given.
When the Snapdragon 8 chip was officially released, the first batch of new products equipped with it was also officially announced, and the realme true self that has grown rapidly in recent years is naturally among them, but realme did not choose to release at the end of 2021. In fact, in the warm-up stage, the official has released a lot of news, the first day after the New Year's Day holiday, the new products of the True Self GT2 series have finally officially debuted.
The True Self GT2 series is divided into two models, GT2 and GT2 Pro, of which gt2 Pro also has a master edition with Naoto Fukasawa. This model of geek players is the most distinctive GT2 Pro Master Edition in the entire series, and it is also my personal favorite green, officially called "Master Sen".
Back cover made of "paper" and slim figure of 189 g 8.18 mm
Since it is a master version of the model, Naoto Fukasawa as an old friend of realme is naturally not absent, in addition to thinking about the design of the fuselage, this time realme is a joint material company Sabic, in the back cover materials to explore. The version of the Master Sen in my hand, as its name suggests, has chosen the green color that represents life and forest, but it has a lower saturation and is very close to the feeling of the Morandi color system, except that it is "brighter". While giving people a sense of luxury, its acceptance has also increased a lot.
Not only is the color scheme different, the Master Edition also has a rectangular bulge on the right side of the camera module, which contains the realme logo similar to the hot silver effect and the signature of Naoto Fukasawa. This part of the design and the previously released True Self GT Master Exploration Edition suitcase color matching has similarities, which is considered to be the "regular operation" of the realme master version of the product, which can make people distinguish between different versions at the first time.
True SELF GT2 Pro camera module is my personal favorite design style recently, although the lens is still prominent in the entire module "floating island", but the amplitude is very slight, the protection effect seems to be greater, and the arrangement of the three lenses and flash is very orderly, very similar to the real me GT Neo2, and does not give people a particularly exaggerated or cluttered feeling.
In addition, the back cover material is a highlight of the True Self GT2 Pro Master Edition, and the SLOGAN of the GT2 series, a technological new life of a piece of paper, is describing the specialness of the back cover material. The back cover of the True Self GT2 Pro Master Edition is made from bio-based materials made from renewable raw materials such as pulp, which is specially customized by Realme United Materials Sabic and is ISCC's international sustainability and carbon certification, which reduces carbon emissions by up to 63% compared to traditional materials.
In addition to the elements of paper, realme also chooses the texture and three-dimensionality of paper products, and it is very appropriate to describe it as "paper made of paper". If you look closely, the texture on the back cover is in the shape of a "human" shape, which makes the feel more three-dimensional, and the texture of this material gives me the feeling of being between polycarbonate and paper.
If you think it's an eco-friendly material made from "paper" and think it's not durable, you're wrong. Officials say that all aspects of this bio-based material are above the level of traditional materials, and stability can be guaranteed in the range of -40 °C to 75 °C; it has passed 28,000 micro-drop tests; and it can be stored for 21 days under extreme conditions of 65 °C and 95% relative humidity.
Not only has the texture of the back cover changed, the True Self GT2 Pro Master Edition has effectively controlled the internal space of the fuselage through the stacking process, the thickness of the fuselage is 8.18 mm, and the curved design on both sides of the back has made the feel more outstanding. The weight of the bio-based material is also one of its advantages, which reduces the body weight of the Master Edition from 199 grams in the glass version to 189 grams, and the word thin and light is most appropriate for the True Self GT2 Pro Master Edition.
Interestingly, the box of the True Self GT2 Pro Master Edition adopts the same textured design of the fuselage cover, and the entire packaging plastic accounts for 0.3%, using low toxicity, high repeatability and practicality, biodegradable soybean ink, and also insists on environmental protection.
2K straight screen, gospel for gamers
From the bangs screen, the water drop screen to the current full screen, in the limited body size of the larger screen, this seems to be a very beautiful thing, but in the resolution of the matter is a little "regressive". In the 16:9 era, many flagship models have 2K resolution as the flagship standard, to the full screen era FHD+ has become the absolute mainstream, only a few "super cup" models will choose 2K screen, but to the Snapdragon 8 generation of new products, 2K screen seems to become the standard.
The True Self GT2 Pro uses a 6.7-inch 2K AMOLED screen from Samsung with a resolution of 3216*1440 pixels and supports a smart dynamic refresh rate of 1-120Hz. Because of the second generation of LTPO technology, the refresh rate change only takes 75ms, making the user's experience smoother, and more power-saving, and also supports full-scene recognition. In addition, such as 10bit color, 100% P3 wide color gamut, Corning Gorilla Victus glass are all supported.
Realme also said that this screen on the True Self GT2 Pro is the best screen realme has ever seen, and it has received a DisplayMate A+ rating. From the look and feel, just lighting up the screen did not give me such a strong intuitive feeling, because the default wallpaper and the color of the back cover of this master Sen color in my hand are the same, which looks like a relatively light and elegant feeling, but with the "help" of the le scratch lock screen, the characteristics of this screen in color have been displayed.
Regarding the color part, the performance of the flagship model in the past two years has not been worse than anyone, and the real GT2 Pro still belongs to the more restrained one in the first look. If you are a user who prefers "heavy taste", you can also adjust the color style in the "Color Visual Enhancement" in the system settings, and even you can conduct a color vision test to let the system generate a more suitable color style scheme for you.
Because the GT2 Pro supports a 120Hz refresh rate, even the sliding on the main interface is silky smooth, and most of the small partners who have experienced the 120Hz screen will say that they can't go back. The system provides intelligent switching, 120Hz, 60Hz three gears, the default choice is intelligent switching, although we did not use the comparison for a long time to see if intelligent switching can alleviate the endurance pressure, but as the second generation of LTPO technology is characterized by the ability to quickly adjust the refresh rate, and the system also did the intelligent recognition of the whole scene, so I am willing to choose to believe it, but also recommend that users choose "smart switching" this gear.
In the resolution part, the system defaults to "FHD+", that is, 2412 * 1080 pixels, and the user can also choose "QHD+", which is the actual physical resolution of this screen 3216 * 1440 pixels, but it will theoretically consume more power. In addition, the system also provides intelligent switching options in terms of resolution, in my opinion, the actual look and feel of the two resolutions is not much different in most scenes, depending on the user's priority for battery life performance.
It should be mentioned in particular that this screen is the only straight screen model in the current Snapdragon 8 new machine, not to discuss the cost difference, at least the straight screen is a good news for gamers, I believe that for young people This user group is also more favored for the straight screen.
The Snapdragon 8 performs decently, and the GT mode is a bit strong
As one of the first models equipped with snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips, the performance of the True Self GT2 Pro is not much different from other models of the same chip. It is not inevitable to go through the characteristics of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, upgraded to the Samsung 4nm process in the process part, and is still a three-cluster combination of 1 super core (Cortex-X2, 3.0GHz), 3 performance cores (Cortex-A710, 2.5GHz) and 4 performance cores (Cortex-A510, 1.8GHz), and the GPU part adopts the latest Adreno 730.
Purely from the chip itself, everyone is no different, but this time realme is equipped with a diamond ice core cooling system Plus for the real GT2 Pro. The reason why it is called "Plus" is because its heat dissipation area reaches 36751 square millimeters, an increase of 105% over the previous generation of cooling system area; the heat dissipation structure has also been upgraded to nine layers, and the area of stainless steel VC has also reached 4129 square millimeters, an increase of 30% over the previous generation, and the official said that the heat dissipation efficiency of this generation of heat dissipation system has increased by 25%, which can make the SoC have a more stable performance output.
The running memory (RAM) of the true GT2 Pro in my hand is 12GB, and through the two entertainment running software of AnTuTu and Lu Master, we can see that its running score performance is not much different from the Snapdragon 8 model that has been released. An TuTu is more than 1.01 million points, and Master Lu still shows unfriendly to the Snapdragon 8.
After that, we look at the actual experience of the game part, the real gt2 Pro will directly open the Hyper Boost acceleration engine when opening the game, then the latest O-sync 2.0 will also be turned on, and the maximum touch return rate can reach 1000Hz, which is still very advantageous in some mobile game scenes that require hand speed and reaction. In addition, the true self GT2 Pro is also equipped with a new GT mode 3.0, users can use desktop cards to open with one click; the official indication that GT mode 3.0 has been upgraded in the underlying scheduling optimization part, supporting GPU heterogeneous rendering technology and AI frame stabilization technology 2.0; in addition, GT mode 3.0 is not only for game scenes, but also optimized in video and audio entertainment scenes, such as HDR video color enhancement, MEMC video dynamic interpolation, Dolby Atmos and so on.
I actually experienced the League of Legends mobile game, Peace Elite, and Original God. "League of Legends Mobile Game" and "Glory of the King", there is no high demand for the absolute performance of the device, and the current high frame rate mode of 120 frames is only open for the iPhone 13 Pro series, so in the current highest quality + special effects, it can be said that there is no pressure, the frame rate performance is also very stable, and the heat control is also quite excellent.
"Peace Elite" is one of the mobile games with a relatively large user base and high requirements for device performance, unfortunately, the current use of the true self GT2 Pro can not open 90 frames, according to the past situation in the mobile phone after the official release, it will be identified for the device model. In the HDR HD + extreme frame rate mode, the true self GT2 Pro still has no pressure, after all, this picture quality combination is easy to crush for the Snapdragon 888, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is not a problem, and there is no obvious heat in the whole game, just a relatively warm feeling.
In the above two games, the direct screen of the True Self GT2 Pro is indeed what I like very much, the chance of misoperation is very small during the game, and when clicking on some buttons at the edge of the screen, there will be no difficult triggering situation.
In the game "Original God", the same android device is currently only open 60 frames, which is a bit of a pity. In the image settings, all adjusted to the highest, frame rate of 60, the real gt2 Pro frame rate performance is relatively stable, occasionally there will be frame drops, but the fluency is not to worry, in the large map "shopping" for 15 minutes did not appear to be overheated.
After that, I tried the GT mode, in which the frame rate of the picture was significantly improved, I don't know if it is because of the refresh rate limit in the regular mode or some mysterious bonus in gt mode, but the corresponding effect is improved, and the temperature has also risen significantly. In the case of this extreme performance output, you can feel the camera part and the frame part in the fuselage in 5 minutes, but I continued to play for a while and found that the fluency did not decrease, which can also be seen that this cooling system still has a very good strength.
Familiar IMX766 and starting 150-degree ultra-wide angle
Compared with other parts of the heavyweight update, the real me GT2 Pro is a little "flat" in terms of image system, the main reason may be that the IMX766 sensor has met too many times, not that he is not good, but less surprises. However, this time the true self GT2 Pro is a little different in the choice of other two lenses, the first is the world's first 150 degree ultra-wide angle lens, the sensor is 50 million pixels of Samsung ISOCELL JN1, it is expected that this sensor will become the ultra-wide angle sensor of most manufacturers this year; in addition, the true self GT2 Pro also added a microscope lens, supporting 40 times magnification, 4.7mm focus distance, and will also support skin monitoring functions in the follow-up OTA.
Let's also review the parameters of the Sony IMX766, 50 million pixels, 1/1.56-inch sensor size, OIS + EIS dual image stabilization, its single synthetic pixel can reach 2.0 microns, and also supports omnidirectional focus, support 10bit color, can be said to be one of the current comprehensive strength of one of the very strong sensors. As I mentioned earlier, the entire image module of the Real Me GT2 Pro is my personal favorite in the recent new machines, the arrangement of each lens position is very regular, the upper and lower levels are also symmetrical, and there is no exaggerated decorative ring, and the control of the bulge is relatively excellent.
The performance and style of this IMX766 main camera, I believe that users familiar with OPPO and realme should have some understanding, because of the two factors of high pixels and large outsole, this main camera is very good in analytical performance, even if it is 100% magnified, it is not pasted together, and the color style is relatively strong, with strong visual impact.
The True Self GT2 Pro is also equipped with the new self-developed ProLight super-sensitive technology, which supports intelligent multi-frame compositing and intelligent noise recognition. In fact, in the conventional mode, the IMX766 has a single composite pixel area of 2.0 microns, and its ability to shoot in low light is relatively excellent, and after equipped with ProLight super-sensitivity technology, it can be found that the purity of the picture has been improved, and the look and feel of the picture has been significantly improved.

Ultra-wide angle lens shooting
Wide angle & ultra wide angle lens contrast
The Samsung JN1 sensor is still more suitable for ultra-wide angle, because its pixels are very high and can accommodate more details in large scenes. This ultra-wide-angle lens itself can bring 0.6 times the viewing angle, and the edge quality is good, and the resolution of the overall picture is OK, it is certainly not as powerful as the conventional wide-angle lens detail performance, but it is good in the ultra-wide lens.
Ultra-wide angle >150 degrees ultra-wide angle contrast
150 degree ultra wide angle & fisheye lens contrast
In addition, this lens also supports 150-degree ultra-wide-angle mode, which needs to be selected in more modes, and will provide two modes after opening, 150° and fisheye lens. The 150 ° field of view angle can be said to be very wide, at this time there will be a very obvious distortion at the edge of the picture, such as between the high-rise buildings can produce this feeling of being wrapped; and the fisheye lens is easier to understand, although there are third-party apps to support this effect processing very early, but after all, it is adjusted through conventional photos, the picture will be somewhat unnatural, and this lens will have a stronger performance in the entire picture tension.
In more camera modes, we also saw the option of a microscope, which is the third camera of the True Self GT2 Pro , the microscope lens. Similar lenses have appeared on the OPPO Find X3 series, this experience of shooting microscopic landscapes with mobile phones is still very special, the microscope lens on the True Self GT2 Pro has been nearly 2 times higher than 4.7mm, and upgraded to 4 times the depth of field.

AMOLED screen microscope lens shooting
In the actual shooting, I found that shooting this kind of picture, the stability of the hands is a greater test, if the subject is more stable, it is fine, but if in the outdoor environment, such as shooting leaves, it will increase the difficulty. However, shooting a good microscopic world can indeed get a certain sense of satisfaction, after all, this kind of microscopic picture is usually not very observable. It is worth mentioning that in the follow-up OTA, this microscope lens can also support skin quality testing, which can detect skin texture and skin moisture, allowing users to understand their skin conditions in more detail.
realme UI 3.0 all kinds of small details make you feel comfortable to use
Last October, along with the true self GT Neo2T released realme UI 3.0, which is based on Android 12 as the underlying layer to build, as the latest release of the flagship model, the real me GT2 Pro is naturally equipped with this system. From the first look and feel, the changes in realme UI 3.0 compared to realme UI 2.0 are not so obvious, but some details are still more obvious in optimization.
For example, in terms of visuals, realme UI 3.0 has been repainted in the system icon part, and the icon style itself has not changed much, but on the basis of the previous solid color style, shadows and translucent overlapping elements have been added, from the pseudomorphic wind to the flattening and then biased towards the pseudomorphic wind, which is also what most manufacturers are doing at present.
Interactive part, in the setting menu and negative screen information aggregation page have been adjusted to a certain extent, realme UI 3.0 also uses a card-style desktop plug-in, in nature it is no different from the small plug-in, but the realme from the system level to do it more unified, and some core functions do more interaction in it. For example, GT mode adds the corresponding card, the user can open with one click, which is much faster and more convenient than sliding to the second page and then clicking the GT mode icon through the drop-down notification bar, and the current screen refresh rate and touch can be seen at a glance.
Cross-screen interconnection is also an important improvement in realme UI 3.0, users can connect by downloading the application on the PC side, and can quickly connect when both ends are opened at the same time. Compared with the third-party universal interconnection solution, it is obvious that this set of home devices is relatively stable, and in the case of no manual lock screen, the PC side can always maintain display + operation, which is still very user-friendly.
There are also more detailed parts, such as the True Self GT2 Pro debuts a new generation of X-axis linear motors from AAC Technologies, because this offline motor has increased by 40%, which has greatly improved the amount of vibration and effective bandwidth. Through the scene optimization of realme UI 3.0, the vibration feedback becomes richer and more delicate, and the sound and picture and vibration effects after turning on GT mode are quite excellent.
65W SuperDart flash charge, heat control optimization is obvious
As mentioned earlier, the true self GT2 Pro has a body thickness of 8.18 mm, which is not a very extreme operation, but it is already very touching for realme. In such a body thickness, realme stuffed it into a 5000mAh capacity battery, and the fuselage weight is only 189 grams (Master Sen version), the real me GT2 Pro can be said to have balanced the hand performance and practicality.
Not surprisingly, the real me GT2 Pro uses 65W SuperDart flash charge, not supporting wireless charging is a pity, but for me personally the demand for wireless charging is not high, at least between the thickness of the fuselage + battery capacity and wireless charging, I will definitely choose the former. In the actual test, the real me GT2 Pro in the boot state, from 1% to 100% power time took 32 minutes and 30 seconds, the official speed is 33 minutes, perhaps this is the legendary reverse false label.
Of course, this result is calculated after I drain the battery to 1% and then charge directly, if the consumption is automatically turned off and then start the test, it may take 33 minutes to take longer. Even so, the speed of 65W full of 5000mAh batteries is still remarkable, except for the last 2% trickle charge, the entire charging curve has hardly changed, and has been maintained at a high level. In this test, we also noticed a change, that is, the temperature control of the real GT2 Pro when charging is very good, there is no feeling of heat and heat before, the fuselage feels only a little warm to the touch, and I believe that the new cooling system also contributes to this part.
Above, this is my first experience of the true self GT2 Pro in two days. While the product is powerful enough, the price is also a key factor, the real me GT 2 Pro 8GB + 128GB version is priced at 3899 yuan, the 8GB +256GB version is priced at 4199 yuan, the 12GB+256GB price is 4499 yuan, and the 12GB+512GB version is priced at 4999 yuan, and the first sales price of the four versions is reduced by 200 yuan, and pre-sales have begun. As the realme brand's first product to hit the high-end market, how do you think it is?
