In the stock competition of the mobile phone market, the share is almost occupied by the head manufacturers, emerging brands want to achieve results in this red sea can be described as extremely difficult, many brands have gradually disappeared with the passage of time in people's vision. Realme is an exception, and in just three years it has become the fourth mobile phone brand in China and the sixth in the world, refreshing a number of growth records. In 2021, it completed the "tens of millions" goal ahead of schedule, officially ranked among the mainstream brands in China, and had the capital to compete with head manufacturers.
Under the concept of "dare to cross the level", realme's products have an excellent quality-price ratio, hardcore configuration, and excellent experience. This has allowed realme to achieve extraordinary results in the past three years, favored by many users, and its market share has continued to rise, but the high-end market has always been a short board for realme. If 2021 is the year of realme's outbreak, then this year is the year of realme's transformation, and the most important action is to launch a charge to the high-end market.
On January 4, realme launched the first flagship product of the new year, the True Self GT2 series, which opened the prelude to the flagship mobile phone war in 2022 and officially opened its own high-end road. True self GT2 series includes two products, true my GT2 and GT2 Pro, while inheriting the hardcore performance of the GT series, the biggest change is the earth-shaking change in the sense of quality, and the industrial design has been significantly improved. Today we will start from the real me GT2 to see how realme is going to hit the high end!
Design: Stunning at first glance, full of sense of luxury
The design of the True Self GT2 can be described as "rejuvenated", although I have seen the renderings before, but I still feel completely stunning after seeing the real machine, which is not only the best-looking and exquisite mobile phone that Realme has ever seen, but also the one that stands out even among the flagship machines.
True I GT2 series using the master "paper" and a new generation of AG glass process two design, to know that the previous master series are independent version of the existence, and now the master design in the GT series has been fully decentralized, so that more users can experience the unique master design, which can be said to be a major change in the high-end market of realme impact.
The true self GT2 in our hands is the master "paper" design, created by realme and Naoto Fukasawa, this time the master series is full of minimalist style compared with the previous suitcase design, using the timeless "white" as the main color, and the back of the fuselage should still have the classic realme and Naoto Fukasawa joint logo.
In addition to the design changes, the True Self GT2 has also undergone a drastic upgrade from packaging to material. Based on the concept of environmental protection, the packaging of Zhenmei GT2 adopts low-toxicity, biodegradable and environmentally friendly packaging, and plastic accounts for only 0.3%. In addition, in terms of body materials, Zhenmei GT2 Master "Paper" brings the industry's first bio-based material, which is extracted from renewable raw materials such as pulp, which can reduce carbon emissions by up to 63% compared with traditional materials.
The new materials and processes bring a unique texture to the true self GT2, the back shell of the fuselage not only has the delicate touch and comfortable feel of the paper, but also has the texture and three-dimensional sense of the paper, so that the real me GT2 is full of high-grade sense, and also more recognizable, with a unique fashion atmosphere. It is understood that in order to achieve this effect, realme has gone through 12 months of research and development, 28 times of bulldozing and restarting, more than 1,000 hours of color grading, and polishing 63 templates.
For the white body, I believe that many users are more concerned about the ability to resist stains, and the performance of the real GT2 master "paper" in the process of nearly a week is satisfactory, even if it is accidentally stained or there is some oil staining, it only needs to be gently wiped. In terms of the durability of the material, the Real Me GT2 uses bio-based materials to reach the level of traditional materials, and can ensure a stable structure between 75 degrees and minus 45 degrees, and has excellent drop resistance.
The exquisite design of the Zhenmei GT2 is not only reflected in the appearance, but also has excellent stacking ability, with a 5000mAh large battery in the slim body of 8.6mm, and the weight of the fuselage is controlled within 195g (weight 1944.5g). Combined with the curved treatment on both sides of the fuselage, it fits well into the palm of the hand and has a very good grip.
In terms of screen, The True Self GT2 is equipped with a Samsung E4 luminescent material AMOLED direct screen, which has a high refresh rate of 120Hz, supports three adaptive refresh rates, and can intelligently switch between 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz according to different scenes. In addition, this screen has also been upgraded to 10,000-level dimming and supports 1000Hz instantaneous touch. Let users get a more comfortable look and feel and more accurate touch during use.
On the whole, the change in the design of the True Self GT2 has brought the author a very obvious perception, from industrial design to the visible improvement of the delicacy of the product, and gradually has the style of a first-line manufacturer.
Performance and experience: more stable Snapdragon 888
In terms of core hardware, the True My GT2 is equipped with a classic performance iron triangle combination, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 + Full Blood Version LNDDR5 + UFS 3.1, which supports a maximum of 12GB + 256GB of memory combination. In addition, it also supports a maximum of 3GB of virtual memory, which can bring a smoother experience.
Open gt mode, in the room temperature environment, the real me GT2 Antutu score can easily reach 800,000 + results, the performance is very stable, for the tuning of this "fire dragon", realme can be said to be more and more exquisite. In terms of storage performance, the continuous read and write speeds of the True Self GT2 are 2029.27MB/s and 794.96MB/s, respectively, and the random read and write speeds are 275.29 MB/s and 258.31 MB/s. The overall performance is excellent, belonging to the current quasi-flagship camp.
At the system level, True Self GT2 is equipped with realme UI3.0 based on Android12, which brings more stable performance by optimizing the underlying calls. And bring a wealth of desktop cards and AI frame stabilization technology 2.0 as well as the new GT mode 3.0.
It is worth mentioning that the new GT3.0 mode not only supports the one-click opening of desktop cards, but also further expands from the game scene to the video scene, and in the GT mode, the viewing experience can be improved by video color increase and video pin.
Among the many performance mobile phones, the heat dissipation ability of realme can be said to be highly praised, and the previous generation of GT has left a deep impression on us. In order to make the performance of the True Self GT2 more stable, realme upgraded the cooling system again.
The new diamond ice core heat dissipation is more efficient than the previous generation of tempered liquid cooling heat dissipation, with the largest 17932mm² heat dissipation area in the same class, built-in aerospace grade diamond heat dissipation gel, the official said that the CPU core temperature can be reduced by up to 18 degrees. In addition, the larger area of tempered VC and customized 3D stereo graphene, 8 layers of heat dissipation structure, provide strong support for sustained and stable release of performance.
After half an hour of glory of the king, the maximum temperature on the back of the body of the True Self GT was about 40 degrees, and the experience temperature was warm, and the performance was really outstanding. In addition, under the new heat dissipation system, the mobile phone can be quickly cooled down after a while, adding a lot of points to the comfort experience.
Image: SONY IMX766 flagship main camera blessing
Starting from the True Self GT2, realme's images have also begun to move towards the first camp, and the biggest upgrade of the camera is equipped with sony IMX766 flagship main camera, with a 1/1.56-inch bottom, 2.0um composite large pixels, and support for OIS optical image stabilization. It also features a 119° ultra-wide angle lens and a 4cm macro lens.
From the above samples, it can be seen that in a well-lit environment, the main camera of the True Self GT2 has excellent imaging quality, accurate color reproduction, clear and transparent picture, and is more pleasing to the eye. In addition, the outsole also has a good bokeh effect when shooting close-ups.
Thanks to Realme's self-developed PrroLight super-sensitive technology, the performance of the True Self GT2 in night scenes has been further improved, and the noise reduction effect of the camera can be improved through intelligent noise recognition. At night, you can get very pure photos, and the picture has excellent detail.
The ultra-wide-angle lens has a larger field of view, and while accommodating more scenes, the distortion control is good and the effect is satisfactory.
Fast charging and battery life
The True Self GT2 is equipped with an upgraded version of the 65W SuperDart flash charge, which has an efficient charging performance even under a 5000mAh large battery.
After testing, starting from 1% charging, 5 minutes can charge 24%, 10 minutes to 43%, fully charge about 39 minutes.
On New Year's Day, I just went to the suburbs of Beijing to play a lap and simply tested the battery life of the real GT2. The power is 100% at the time of departure, and in the case of automatic brightness and mobile network opening, nearly 1 hour and 40 minutes of navigation consume only 12% of the power, which can fully meet the needs of everyone's daily charge.
summary:
From performance, experience leapfrogging, to design leapfrogging, realme with the true self GT2 shows a completely different self, especially the application of new materials and more exquisite craftsmanship, the real me GT2 has made a good start on its own high-end road, and at the same time, with design innovation realme has also taken a solid step on the road of differentiated competition, which is of great significance to the future development of realme.
