In 2021, realme's smartphone sales in China exceeded 10 million units, which is considered to have moved from the original niche brand to the mainstream camp. With more market share, realme naturally needs to create a high-end positioning flagship phone to show its strength. So, the realme real me GT2 Pro came.
The design of the realme GT2 Pro is very interesting, and there are still versions designed in collaboration with Naoto Fukasawa, respectively, Master Paper and Master Mori. Both versions are inspired by [paper], and the back cover is made of bio-based materials that extract renewable raw materials such as pulp. So what are the benefits of this design?
The first is "environmental protection", according to realme official data, compared with traditional materials, bio-based materials extracted from renewable raw materials such as pulp and other raw materials compared with raw petrochemical-based materials, each kilogram of bio-based materials can help reduce 2KG of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, if you want to practice the concept of "environmental protection", it is not only a practice of not equipping a charging head as standard, realme's bio-based material back cover obviously has more thinking, and it is more acceptable to consumers.
The back cover of the realme GT2 Pro also feels very good, the fuselage is only 8.18mm thick, and the weight is only 189g. The back cover does not stain fingerprints, simple but also has a strong texture, and a closer look can see the texture design of paper products on the back cover. The camera part is distinguished from the back cover, and there is also the signature of the classic Naoto Fukasawa next to it, and the recognition is there. To sum it up in one sentence, that is concise, but also attractive enough.
2K direct screen under LTPO 2.0 support
Realme true me GT2 Pro is equipped with a 2K screen with the industry's first straight screen design and LTPO technology, the quality of the screen naturally goes without saying, 10-bit, 1400 nits peak brightness, the second generation LTPO, DisplayMate A+ rating... It is commendable that the gt2 Pro screen does not use the so-called curved design with a "high-end" feeling, but chooses a direct screen design that many consumers think is more practical, which is indeed worthy of praise for the realme that wants to impact the high-end. In addition, the screen of the True Self GT2 Pro is also covered with the latest generation of Corning Gorilla Victus glass, which can protect the screen very well.
So what obvious perception improvement can such a good screen bring to the user? Many people may say that it must be the performance of picture quality color, the fact is that the mobile phone screen has developed to the present, and the improvement perception of each generation of screens in the picture quality color is not so obvious, because the color quality performance of the screen is already excellent enough, and the focus of the manufacturer is actually to reduce power consumption. Yes, power reduction depends on the LTPO technology that everyone is advertising.
The screen of the true self GT2 Pro supports the second generation LTPO, which supports the intelligent dynamic resolution of 1 ~ 120Hz, and can intelligently adjust the refresh rate of the screen according to the scene, ensuring that the user has an excellent high-brush experience under the premise of more power saving. For example, I use GT2 Pro in the B station App, the sliding interface is 120Hz, when playing the video will be 60Hz, if you play the video at the same time to swipe the screen to read the comments, the screen will become 120Hz. However, under the realme UI 3.0 RMX3300-11-A.11 version, I did not trigger the scene of 1Hz refresh rate on the screen when I watched the picture at still, and the screen refresh rate change did not appear when playing video, and perhaps the subsequent versions will be more perfect for the scene with variable refresh rate.
It is worth mentioning that according to the official information of realme, the brightness of the real self GT2 Pro screen and the minimum frame rate also have a corresponding relationship: 2-30nit, 120Hz does not reduce the frame rate; 30-200nit, the minimum 10Hz; 200-300nit, the lowest 5Hz; 300-800nit, the lowest 1Hz. So from this point, it can also be seen that LTPO technology mainly reduces power consumption. The better thing is that GT2 Pro can also turn on DC dimming in developer mode, and after DC dimming is turned on, there is no conflict with high brushing.
Dragon Trainer
Sent away the Snapdragon 888, Android manufacturers have ushered in the Snapdragon 8, the performance of snapdragon 8 naturally needless to say, everyone is most concerned about the nature or how the heat is in the game scene. Realme in order to tame this core, but also put a lot of effort, equipped with diamond ice core heat dissipation system Plus, greatly improved the heat dissipation area, the use of higher thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation material. So what is the actual performance?
According to actual measurements, after 40 minutes of running "Original God" in high-quality 60 frame mode, the highest temperature of the fuselage actually reached a little more than 37 ° C, the feel was only warm, and the frame rate performance was relatively stable, the number of stutters was not much, and the mobile phone did not lock the frame in order to control the heat.
In addition, we also conducted a 3D Mark stress test, measured stability of 62.4%, the best loop score of 9940 points, and the lowest loop score of 6206 points, even the lowest score is comparable to some Snapdragon 888 performance, it can be seen that the SNAPDR 8 GPU improvement is indeed very large. After running 20 rounds of testing, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is 38.6 °C, and the temperature control performance is very good. Although from the two mobile phones previously listed, the performance of Snapdragon 8 has been greatly improved, but the heat problem is still relatively severe, but the real GT2 Pro seems to be more excellent in heat dissipation performance.
It is worth mentioning that the GT mode born for the game scene ushered in version 3.0, the new desktop card is quickly opened, and the underlying scheduling is also optimized. More importantly, GT mode 3.0 also expands from the game scene to the video scene, and the GT video enhancement function can be turned on at the B station, which can realize HDR video color enhancement, MEMC video dynamic pin, Dolby Atmos and other functions.
A camera that can be shot wide enough and small enough
The True Self GT2 Pro gives a 50-megapixel dual main camera with a three-camera combination of a microscope lens. The wide-angle lens is the 50-megapixel Sony IMX 766, equipped with OIS optical image stabilization, while the ultra-light angle lens is the 50-megapixel Samsung JN1, and the imaging quality of the ultra-wide-angle lens is significantly different from the wide-angle lens, but the latter brings a 150° fisheye mode.
The above is a wide-angle main camera shot
The above is a 2x digital crop shooting of the wide-angle main camera
From the actual shooting experience, the imaging performance of the wide-angle IMX 766 is satisfactory, and the performance in various scenes has no slots, which is very comfortable to use. Due to the excellent picture quality of the wide-angle lens, the camera interface of the True Self GT2 Pro also directly gives the "2X" zoom option, and the photos taken at the wide-angle under the 2x crop zoom are also very good, which is definitely enough for sending circles of friends and Weibo. In addition, the wide-angle lens shooting video supports 4K/60fps, 8K/24fps, and the lens can also choose to shoot RAW format in street shooting mode, if the mobile phone photo album supports editing RAW format photos, it is better.
The ultra-wide-angle lens has good image quality in good light and can maintain a basically consistent imaging style with the main camera. However, if the light is weakened, the disadvantages of the ultra-wide angle small bottom are fully displayed, and the noise of the picture will become more, even if the photo is taken in night mode, and the highest shot of shooting video is supported at 4K/30fps, and the STREET shooting mode cannot shoot RAW.
Ultra wide angle supports 150° ultra-wide angle shooting, and every time I shoot in this mode, I have to deliberately adjust the posture of holding the phone, because the lens is too wide, it is easy to shoot my hands into it. However, if the viewing angle is wide enough, inevitable distortions will also exist. In addition, there is a fisheye mode in the 150 ° ultra-wide angle shooting, which can indeed take some photos with a unique perspective, but for ordinary consumers, this mode is more picky about the scene, and many people may not be able to use it well.
Similarly, the microscope lens of the True Self GT2 Pro is also a lens that can provide creativity, it has 20 times and 40 times the magnification of two options, the first contact users will basically be amazed by the picture taken by this lens. However, the microscope lens is the same as the ultra-wide angle fisheye mode, which will feel novel when you first get started, but it may not be used much in the future. However, the microscope lens on the Gt2 Pro will also support the skin quality detection function in the future, which may increase the frequency of use of this lens.
As Realme's first model for the high-end market, the True Self GT2 Pro camera does have a unique selling point, 150 ° ultra-wide angle can shoot wide enough, and the microscope lens can also shoot small enough. However, I personally think that realme should be more aggressive and practical in camera configuration, such as using IMX 766 as an ultra-wide angle lens to improve the picture quality of the photo experience, forming a more favorable advantage for competitors on the market.
In other aspects, realme gt2 Pro has a built-in 5000mAh battery, supports 65W SuperDart flash charge, I prefer this collocation, which is a combination of large-capacity batteries and high-power fast charging. In addition, gt2 Pro's X-axis linear motor experience is also very good, the vibration is more powerful, crisp, I will be used to turning on the vibration when typing every day; stereo dual speakers, listening to music volume is relatively large, watching videos is also more immersive. In some other experiences, the True Self GT2 Pro performed quite well.
Summary: It's hard to do high-end, but realme has a unique selling point
As realme's first high-end flagship mobile phone, the real me GT2 Pro naturally has something to improve, but considering that realme has not been in the game for a long time but has grown so fast, it can also be regarded as a good answer. Realme knows that creating a high-end is not a pile of parameters, but to form a differentiated competition. Therefore, we can see that there are many unique selling points on this phone, such as the body using "environmentally friendly" bio-based materials, the camera has a 150 ° ultra-wide angle mode, the microscope lens 2.0, and the performance of the screen, performance and other aspects is naturally not inferior to competitors. The high-end road is long, realme only needs to work hard, success or not, consumers will give the answer.
