【Mobile Phone China Review】A high-end flagship built by the world's top six smartphone brands in the past three years, will you consider it?
On January 4, realme officially released its first high-end flagship work, the True My GT2 Pro, which became one of the most watched flagship products at the beginning of 2022 with its ultra-high configuration and the careful polishing of Naoto Fukasawa's appearance. Of course, for a large number of ordinary consumers, they may not have heard of the realme brand, let alone whether they will consider starting with 4000+ price segment products. However, in the past three years, realme has gone all the way through the barriers, and has developed from the nameless at the beginning of its establishment to the position of the world's TOP6, becoming a dark horse that the world's major mobile phone manufacturers have to pay attention to.
In November 2021, Realme China's 2021 10 million sales target was achieved ahead of schedule, and it successfully joined the 10 million sales club, which has become another milestone achieved by Realme after unlocking 100 million global sales. Behind the rapid growth of sales, realme also has a higher goal: to impact the high-end market, to enter the high-end market at the most appropriate time, and to win the love of more young people with products that dare to cross the level. But how easy is it to hit the high end? This not only requires manufacturers to have enough courage, but also needs strong technical reserves and long-term vision behind them.
At the beginning of its establishment, realme launched such a unique design product as onion and white garlic with the international industrial design giant Naoto Fukasawa at the fastest speed, which became the most unique existence in the smartphone market with a thousand machines, which also became a kind of preemptive of realme's design symbol for the mobile phone market. After that, realme's cooperation with Naoto Fukasawa deepened, and the red brick, cement, dot, line, suitcase ash and apricot master edition works were launched, which became the most chic gifts for realme to the majority of young users. Nowadays, with the impact of realme on the high-end market, master design has also been further high-end. In the newly unveiled True Self GT2 series, Master Paper and Master Sen became the pioneers of realme blowing the horn of smartphone environmental protection.
Will the True Self GT2 Pro successfully open the door to realme's impact on the high end? Let's take a look.
The environmental protection design of the true self GT2 Pro may be the answer that young people have been looking for
Environmental protection is a matter closely related to us, but how to achieve environmental protection has become a problem in front of major mobile phone manufacturers. In this regard, some manufacturers have achieved environmental protection by canceling chargers, but this does not seem to be the best of both worlds, but a sacrifice of user rights and interests. In realme's view, environmental protection is not to cancel the charger, but to design, production and other aspects of environmental protection. It is also based on this consideration that Realme United Materials Company Sabic, which innovatively uses environmentally friendly bio-based materials in mobile phone design, has been certified by ISCC International Sustainability and Carbon, which can reduce carbon emissions by up to 63% compared with traditional materials. It is understood that in the production process of the two colors of the master paper and the master sen, the carbon emissions have been reduced by 35.5%.
Many small partners may be curious about what is "bio-based materials"? In fact, it is a new type of new material made by biological, chemical and physical methods using renewable substances, including crops, trees, other plants and their residues and inclusions as raw materials, and is homologous to paper. Bio-based materials do not compete with the food chain, can effectively reduce carbon emissions in the production process, are an excellent alternative to fossil raw materials, and may become a new material that will be sustainable for the next 10 years.
Homologous with paper, many people may wonder, then the body material of the real GT2 Pro will be very fragile? Don't worry. With the joint efforts of realme and Sabic, the performance of the Zhenmei GT2 series has reached the level of traditional materials in all aspects, and under the limit test of 75 °C-minus 40 °C temperature shock, 28,000 slight drops, 65 °C 95RH storage for 21 days, the appearance and structure stability can still be guaranteed, so daily use is not a problem. In addition, on the front of the fuselage, Zhenmei GT2 Pro also introduced the latest generation of Corning Gorilla Victus glass, compared with the sixth generation of Gorilla Glass, the anti-drop performance is increased by 25%, the anti-scratch performance is increased by 200%, ensuring the durability of the screen, can effectively resist daily wear and fall.
The environmental protection of the Zhenmei GT2 series is not only the fuselage, including the packaging design this time, but also carried out environmental protection treatment, the overall plastic proportion has been reduced from the traditional 20% to only 0.3%, and the use of high repeatability and practicality, biodegradable soybean ink, very detailed. More detailed is that the packaging of the True MY GT2 series has also been textured with paper, which echoes well with the texture brought by the material of the phone itself, which everyone can feel well after getting the real machine.
Look at the mobile phone itself, in addition to the use of more environmentally friendly bio-based materials, realme also through the precision polar laser laser engraving process, for the first time the texture and three-dimensional sense of paper products are also applied to the mobile phone, touch will have a special texture, warm and moist full of rhythm, which is the traditional metal body and AG process can not be given, it can be said that this is the unique texture of "paper". On the left side of the upper back of the Shinto GT2 Pro is the image system, and on the right side are the signatures of "realme" and "Naoto Fukasawa" that we are familiar with, which are very recognizable. Looking back now, the master suitcase is to allow young people to go out in the moment, and paper is to make young people pay more attention to environmental protection and regard environmental protection as a trend.
True I GT2 Pro also adopts an innovative stacking process, on the basis of a built-in 5000mAh battery, it will also be thick to 8.18mm, weighing only 189g, very light for a flagship product, while maintaining a thin enough, can be equipped with a 5000mAh battery, the market is indeed rare. From the design of this time alone, the Majin GT2 Pro has successfully opened the door to high-end products by introducing bio-based materials and working with Naoto Fukasawa to design, pulling the texture and recognition of the fuselage to a new height.
2K strongest straight screen, refresh your horizon
Looking at the flagship products of the current smartphone market, in addition to the full configuration, there is also an important feature, that is, most of them are equipped with curved screens. Although the curved screen is indeed pleasing in visual effects, it also has inherent limitations, such as "abnormal edge display", "easy to touch by mistake", "difficult to paste film" and other issues. The popularity of curved screens has made it difficult for a large number of direct screen users to choose, and many people have turned their attention to iPhone products that insist on using a straight screen design.
In order to meet the direct screen needs of this part of the young people, breaking the phenomenon that only the curved screen in the Android high-end flagship market, realme has introduced a 6.7-inch 2K direct screen (resolution of 3216 * 1440) that is directly pulled full of various configurations on the True Self GT2 Pro, directly impacting the strongest 2K direct screen in Android history. The screen is displayMate A+ rated and HDR10+ certified, and excels in a range of dimensions such as clarity, brightness, and color accuracy. We can look at the original review given by DisplayMate, the evaluation is very high.
Moreover, The True Self GT2 Pro adopts the second generation of LTPO materials, which supports 1-120Hz intelligent dynamic refresh rate, which can bring a faster, more accurate and more power-saving experience. Although some products on the market are also equipped with intelligent dynamic refresh rates, they are often only adjustable in three or four gears, and there are not many products that can truly achieve 1-120Hz stepless variable frames. For example, when we brush the information stream, it is 120Hz when we slide, when we stop reading or viewing pictures, it will instantly become 1Hz, and when we slide again, it will increase to 120Hz at a speed of 75ms, and the naked eye will not actually perceive this process.
For most consumers, in fact, LTPO means more power saving, which also achieves the balance of both experiencing high brushing and enjoying long battery life. Compared with the previous generation of 120Hz screen, the second generation LTPO of the Zhenmei GT2 Pro can optimize the power consumption by up to 50% and extend the comprehensive battery life by 1.7 hours.
More accurately refers to the full scene accurate matching LTPO, which can identify the software frame rate in real time, quickly and accurately and match the best hardware refresh rate, and the minimum when the whole scene is still can be reduced to 1Hz. In addition, the video APP sliding scene can be realized as 120Hz, 1Hz when still, 30Hz when the page has a small window video playback, 60Hz when clicking on the video full screen to watch, the overall video experience is more unified, there will be no obvious sense of separation, and users will not feel that in some video APP, 120Hz simply does not work.
In addition, the true self GT2 Pro has 1400nits peak brightness, 102.4 million levels of dimming, 1 billion color display, 100% P3 wide color gamut, whether it is used in strong light or under low light, or for the overall color presentation, have an excellent experience. And realme also does the real-me GT2 Pro factory screen-by-screen calibration, so as to ensure that every piece is an A+ good screen.
In the screen color of the true self GT2 Pro, realme sets the P3 mode, natural mode (color pastel) and professional mode, and can adjust the screen color temperature, of which the professional mode can choose the P3 mode with a wide color gamut more accurate color, and you can also choose the more colorful vivid mode. At the same time, it is also equipped with color visual enhancement function, after opening, it can be color enhanced according to the user's visual characteristics, providing the most comfortable display effect, including grayscale, red filter, green filter, blue filter and personalized color visual enhancement. If you don't know how to choose, it also offers a color vision test to provide you with the most comfortable display.
In the display and brightness, we can also see the O1 super sense quality engine, which includes the image quality ultra-clear enhancement, video color enhancement, video dynamic interpolation HDR video highlighting mode, making the display more extreme. It is worth mentioning that the True Self GT2 Pro also supports the function of ambient color adaptation and non-stop screen when looking, bringing a more comfortable viewing experience.
From the overall experience, the screen quality of the realme gt2 Pro is quite outstanding, and when it reaches the peak of realme products, it is also at the forefront of the industry.
Flagship performance lets you do whatever you want
True Self GT2 Pro is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 flagship processor, which is the first processor to use the latest 4nm technology and Armv9 architecture, including a 3GHz Cortex-X2 core, 3 2.5GHz Cortex-A710 cores, 4 1.8GHz energy-saving Cortex-A510 cores, CPU performance increased by 20%, GPU performance increased by 30%, AI capabilities increased by 4 times. At the same time, for the first time, a new dedicated trust management engine is adopted, which greatly improves security.
True Self GT2 Pro also launched the world's first ultra-broadband free antenna switching technology, which can intelligently judge all antenna signal strength and switch freely, in weak signal scenarios, it can be 200% higher than ordinary antenna design signals. In addition, there is a 360 ° all-round induction NFC technology blessing, no longer need to use the back to find the NFC area, the front, the side can be, daily use of the experience is more comfortable and more humane.
In order to more intuitively show the performance of the True Self GT2 Pro, we used AnTutu for a run. In the AntuTu running score, the True Self GT2 Pro achieved a score of 1011171 points, of which the CPU score was 230589 points, the GPU score was 440689 points, the MEM score was 169091 points, and the UX score was 170802 points.
In addition to the running score data, the game experience is actually indispensable, how about the experience of the new generation of Snapdragon 8 blessed true self GT2 Pro? We tested it with two games, Honor of Kings and Peace Elite (remember to turn on GT mode when playing the game, otherwise you won't be able to experience high frame rate mode).
In the case of Glory of Kings, for example, the development of the line and various team battles in the game can well represent the processor's capabilities. After turning on the picture quality and other options to the highest, in the game, the frame rate of the Real Me GT2 Pro is stable, the heat control is also quite in place, and the overall experience is very good.
In the "Peace Elite" test, the True Self GT2 Pro did not appear in the game, whether it was a fierce shooting scene or a driving fast driving scene, it did not appear to be stuck, which can meet everyone's game needs. Combined with the 1000Hz esports control engine, you can be the first to kill the enemy. Moreover, the real me GT2 Pro also debuted the SLA0815 new generation of high-end X-axis linear motors, which have improved the larger volume and greater vibration volume, bringing a more outstanding vibration experience.
In order to ensure that the new generation of Snapdragon 8 can continue to produce full blood, The True Self GT2 Pro is also equipped with the diamond ice core heat dissipation system Plus, which has the largest heat dissipation area in the industry, and at the same time upgrades the nine-layer heat dissipation structure, covering all key hot spots, and finally achieving a 105% increase in the heat dissipation area and a 25% increase in heat dissipation efficiency.
In addition, on the True Self GT2 Pro, realme has also upgraded a new GT mode, bringing GT mode 3.0, bringing three major upgrades, one is to support desktop card one-click GT, no need to slide the notification bar to start, faster; second, the underlying scheduling optimization, to achieve high quality and low power consumption, frame rate is further stabilized; third, the scene is extended to video, you can achieve HDR video color enhancement in video, MEMC video dynamic interpolation Dolby Atmos, network acceleration. Overall, this time, the performance of the True Self GT2 Pro has reached the peak of Realme's history, and it can easily control the current major use scenarios.
Flagship images, there are always surprises waiting for you
On the True Self GT Master Exploration Edition, we saw Realme's unique understanding of images, such as the IMX766 sensor, street shooting mode, omnidirectional focus technology, OIS optical image stabilization, etc., bringing a unique shooting experience for young people. In this generation of products, realme continues to leapfrog, bringing a better flagship imaging experience.
The True Self GT2 Pro uses a 50-megapixel dual-camera full-scene low-light imaging system, including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 OIS flagship main camera, a 50-megapixel 150° ultra-wide angle lens (the world's first), and a microscope lens 2.0. The new self-developed ProLight super-sensitive technology can take bright, pure night photos in extremely dark scenes.
Without further ado, let's look at a set of samples.
The above group is a sample of the main camera of the real GT2 Pro, after opening the AI scene enhancement, we can see that the overall picture will be very gorgeous, the rendering of the color will be more bold, so that it will please many users. Thanks to the 50-megapixel main camera, its detail preservation is also excellent, and it can not be suppressed from zooming in, leaving more room for cropping when retouching later.
The above is a set of ordinary mode, ultra-wide-angle mode and 150° ultra-wide-angle mode sample comparison, you can see that the overall picture accommodates a large difference in content, ultra-wide-angle looks more shocking. It is worth mentioning that the ultra-wide angle in the camera mode is not 150 °, the degree will be smaller, and the distortion control will be more in place. If you want to experience the 150° ultra-wide angle shooting method, you need to choose 150° in more, which includes 150° ultra-wide angle shooting and fisheye shooting.
Thanks to the 150° ultra-wide angle, the True Self GT2 Pro also debuted the fisheye mode in the world, which brings a stronger visual impact with a strong perspective effect and an ultra-long depth of field.
Personally, I really like the microscope mode brought by the True Self GT2 Pro this time, which allows us to shoot microscopic worlds that are usually difficult to appreciate. For example, what does a small sesame seed on a burnt cake look like? Maybe we don't usually pay attention to it, but the real GT2 Pro is uniquely beautiful when photographed.
The True Self GT2 Pro also brings an interesting 3D Photo function, which can take 2D photos into 3D effects for output, with hitchcock, arc, tango, vortex four modes. In fact, the overall effect is a bit like the current dynamic photo function on some short video platforms, and everyone can feel it after getting the machine.
In addition, relying on the microscope function, The True My GT2 Pro will also support skin texture detection capabilities in the follow-up upgrade, so that you can better understand your skin condition. To add here, relying on the fingerprint under the screen, realme has also developed a function of measuring heart rate, you may wish to try.
Write at the end
As realme's first high-end work, the True Self GT2 Pro has brought many surprises to young people with a "dare to cross the level", and this surprise is very consistent with the tone of a brand that has just been established for three years, mysterious, bold and daring. First of all, in terms of configuration, as the first flagship of Realme, the True Self GT2 Pro has created the strongest 2K direct-screen flagship in android history, which can be said to be very much in line with their brand concept of "daring to leapfrog". In addition, the configuration in terms of performance, photography and other aspects is also directly full. When realme stands at the intersection of environmental protection, innovative use of bio-based materials, in the whole process of reducing carbon emissions, can also be described as full of sincerity.
For such a product, it may be difficult for us to define whether it can impact high-end success, but little by little, we can see the sincerity of realme, and we may wish to look forward to its performance after the listing.
