Just realme true self GT Neo3 released, the second mobile phone equipped with Tianji 8100 chip debuted, the meaning of the ring is obvious, its arrival can basically be said to officially open the prelude to the second quarter mobile phone market war.
I remember that as early as the launch of Realme's first GT Neo, I said that Realme's understanding and interpretation of Neo - in addition to replacing the chip, it also maintains the positioning of the GT flagship. At the same time, it is also the first mobile phone for Realme to officially enter the esports track, which means that there are more cross-level configurations, such as the first 150W fast charge.
However, I am more concerned about how the real self GT Neo3 will build a sub-flagship in other aspects and the overall experience in addition to the charging power higher and higher.
The fastest 5 minutes ever
The most important configuration of the True Self GT Neo3 this time must be equipped with the fastest 150W fast charge in the industry.
Before getting this phone, I also thought to many people, when the mobile phone fast charge to more than 100 watts, from 120W to 150W users' perception of its speed improvement may not be strong, and the larger number may still play a role in marketing publicity.
But after actually using it, I found out that this was not the case.
I experienced the 150W fast charger of the Real Me GT Neo3 under normal room temperature conditions. From the battery only 1% left to start the screen charging, after 2 minutes the power display is 25%, 5 minutes have 52% of the charge, 10 minutes to 80%, 15 minutes, the display power has reached 100%.
What is this concept? Compared with the 120W fast-charging Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro, the first 5 minutes of the True Self GT Neo3 are at least 35% faster. Although the total time of the final full charge is only 3 minutes apart (the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is 18 minutes full), the rapid return of the first 5 minutes is actually the real significance of the current fast charging speed improvement of more than 100 watts.
The arrival of fast charging above 100 watts has completely "fragmented" the charging time of the original "block" distribution. Even from 120W to 150W, the few minutes that are fast make charging more "useful" in a very short period of time. Just like many people once they have used the large screen, it is difficult to return to the small screen, when they are used to faster charging back to the blood, it is really difficult to slow down.
When the charging speed comes to more than 100 watts, in order to take care of the temperature of the whole machine during charging, most mobile phones will default to the use of constant temperature charging scheme, the speed is slightly slower than the nominal 120W/150W, if you want to run full, to open the charging acceleration in the settings, the mobile phone heat will be greater at this time.
The above charging speed of the true self GT Neo3 is obtained after opening the charging acceleration, in terms of heat, in the case of fast charging of the screen, the maximum temperature of the surface of the mobile phone body is about 44 ° C, which is basically acceptable. The maximum temperature of the power adapter is 57 ° C, which is a bit hot.
In fact, even if the charging acceleration is turned off, according to the test, 5 minutes can be charged from 1% to 38%, 10 minutes to 62%, and the maximum speed of 120W fast charging has been reached.
Another point that caught my attention was that after the completion of the fast charge, that is, the mobile phone prompted 100% of the power, there was no rapid power failure when the power was unplugged, and in the case of standby for one night, the power display was still 100%, which was very powerful.
In order to be able to achieve 150W of mobile phone charging power while ensuring safety, realme uses a deeply customized chip with up to 38 security protections, a new 4:2 high-power charging architecture, which decomposes large current into dual-channel small-current charging, and achieves an ultra-high conversion rate of 98.5%.
Battery Sense battery voltage monitoring technology can detect the real voltage of the battery cell, effectively avoid the error caused by the battery protection circuit, and match a more accurate charging strategy during charging.
In terms of battery life, Zhenmei GT Neo3 has achieved a battery effective capacity of not less than 80% after 1600 complete charge and discharge cycles, while the industry standard battery generally adopts the standard of 400 cycles with an effective capacity of not less than 60%. In the long run, it ensures the battery life of the mobile phone after long-term use.
At present, its 4500mAh battery endurance performance is also quite good, through the battery dog test can be seen, continuous use of nearly 4 hours, consumption of 50%, in the case of non-heavy use, insist on a day and a half is no problem.
When experiencing fast charging speed, it should not be ignored that its power adapter. Although the size is not much different from the ordinary 67W power adapter, but the weight is significantly heavier, I weighed it, this adapter weighs about 168g, almost catching up with the weight of a mobile phone.
The standard fast charging line is also much thicker, and the mobile phone interface location also adopts a special rhodium ruthenium alloy material to reduce the corrosion problem caused by high-power charging. Don't guess, the hardware and process cost of this fast charging program is certainly not low.
Frankly speaking, this hardware combination objectively sacrifices a certain amount of portability, but the perception of the rapid return and endurance upgrade brought by the 150W fast charge of the real GT Neo3 is quite strong.
The performance of Tianji 8100 is directly squeezed dry
The excellent performance in the battery life is also partly due to the Tianji 8100 low-power chip inside it. At the same time, the experience found that the adjustment of the True Self GT Neo3 to the Tianji 8100 was quite radical, whether it was running scores or game measurements.
It can be speculated that after the addition of Tianji 8100 plus a unique chip, the performance release of the True Self GT Neo3 is more "willful".
From the GeekBench running score of the real self GT Neo3, it can be seen that the multi-core score is above 3900, and after opening the GT mode, it is even more than 4090, which exceeds the Snapdragon 8, directly approaching the Tianji 9000, and basically squeezes out the multi-core performance of the Tianji 8100.
Judging from the Antutu running score, the comprehensive score of about 820,000 points is a normal level, which indicates that the real GT Neo3 will have a greater output in the scene that requires multi-core operations, that is, the firepower of the high-load game.
In addition, this time, the true self GT Neo3 is also equipped with an independent display chip, which predicts the trajectory of the object's motion through the chip and algorithm, and adds a motion compensation frame between the two frames to improve the smoothness of the picture and raise the game that originally did not have a high frame mode to a higher frame rate. For example, Protos god supports interpolation from 60fps to 90fps.
In theory, the independent display chip can help the mobile phone GPU render half of the picture, effectively reducing the screen rendering pressure of the processor, thereby achieving lower power consumption.
Since "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite" have not yet supported the highest frame rate, we still directly check its real game performance through "Original God".
In gt mode, when interpolation is not turned on, using the highest picture quality of "Original God" +60fps, you can see an average of 55.5fps for 30 minutes, and the larger jitter mainly occurs in heavy fight scenes, and other running pictures and dialogue scenes can be smoothly full framed. Even in the second half of the mobile phone fever is high, there is no phenomenon of lock frame, but can quickly rise to a stable level.
But I have to say that even if it is Tianji 8100, "Original God" is still a severe test for mobile phone fever. Especially in the GT mode, the four A78 large cores of the True Self GT Neo3 are basically in full performance for the whole time, and can reach a frequency of more than 2000MHz most of the time. Therefore, after half an hour of experience, it is not surprising that the maximum temperature on the back of the fuselage exceeds 49 ° C.
Subsequently, I tested how the game would run after interpolation was turned on.
Note that at present, the 90fps interpolation frame of "Original God" is realized through the unique chip, which is based on 45fps, doubling the frame rate, so the monitoring software measured an average of 42.9fps, and the actual experience we get in the game is 90fps, and the real-time display frame rate through the mobile phone is also 90fps.
The biggest difference in experience before and after interpolation comes from the smoothness of the game screen, especially from 30fps or 45fps to 90fps, and the smoothness improvement visible to the naked eye.
The 30fps rotation angle has a noticeable smear
When interpolation is not turned on at 60fps
There is significantly less smear when 90fps interpolation is turned on
In addition, since this mode is based on the 45-frame "Original God", the power consumption will be lower than the normal level of 60 frames mode. I deliberately monitored the heat situation 10 minutes before the game, in the case of not opening the interpolation frame, the maximum temperature on the back of the phone is 42.5 ° C, if you open the interpolation frame, the same 10 minutes later, the maximum temperature on the back of the phone is 40.7 ° C, the opening of the interpolation frame heating up is slower, but also more conducive to a long-term game experience.
The balance between price/performance, performance and experience
Because the interpolation mode is implemented by the algorithm, it will have a certain impact on the touch response of the keys, if you play "Peace Elite" or "Glory of the King" can reach 90fps or 120fps after adaptation, there is no need to open interpolation.
However, in order to improve the game control experience, in addition to using a 6.7-inch 120Hz refresh rate flexible OLED direct screen, the real gt Neo3 also supports intelligent 1000Hz instantaneous touch sampling, triggered in large-scale team battles, open shots and other game scenes, coupled with the vibration feedback of the X-axis linear motor, the control pleasure of eating chicken and opening black is very strong.
The screen fingerprint carried by the True Self GT Neo series since the first generation has upgraded the seventh generation of screen fingerprint technology on the True Self GT Neo3, which is higher than the traditional screen fingerprint unlocking speed. In fact, the continuity of the True Self GT Neo series has always been very strong, in addition to the screen fingerprint, the appearance design and thin and light characteristics, in this generation of true self GT Neo3 have been inherited.
Under the stacking of internal components such as 150W fast charge, screen fingerprint, X-axis motor, etc., its weight is still controlled at 188g, 8.2mm thickness plus the curvature of the left and right sides of the back, as well as the delicate and warm feel of the AG glass process, and the daily grip feeling is very good.
In terms of appearance, the ID design of the vertical camera module in the upper left corner is continued. In fact, realme has not changed in ID design, but every time the color design and material, often can give people a bright feeling. The True Self GT Neo3 continues to present the spirit of racing, the main Le Mans color matching, inspired by the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans, using blue and purple change of base color and white track stripe collision, vivid and eye-catching.
In terms of rear camera module, the true self GT Neo3 main camera adopts a 1/1.56 outsole IMX766 sensor, equipped with OIS optical image stabilization, and the same configuration as the flagship true my GT Master Exploration Edition, which also brings a cross-level shooting experience. Even in low-light environments, the resulting images are still clear and clean.
On the basis of 50 million pixels, the 2X telephoto experience realized by the algorithm has a high overall picture quality usability and the same good color performance, and it can also be produced for daily use.
2X telephoto
As mentioned earlier, in the case of the mobile phone industry becoming more and more "volume", the true self GT Neo3 created as a sub-flagship has more cross-level configuration and experience. At the same time, don't forget, the True Self GT Neo3 has been officially announced as the designated machine for the official event of the 2022 King of Glory National Competition, and it is also the first product of the ream into the e-sports track.
Therefore, this time the true self GT Neo3 more aggressive performance tuning, the installation of independent display chips brought about by the energy efficiency ratio improvement, 150W extreme fast charging and battery life experience and other stacking materials, all explained.
At the same time, in addition to the strengthening and optimization of the game experience, there is no obvious compromise in terms of thin and light characteristics, photography, etc., considering its "Neo" positioning, the cost performance will also be more prominent, thus achieving a balanced triangle of performance, cost performance and experience.
That is to say, the real GT Neo3 is not only suitable for gamers who pursue game performance, but also a mobile phone that is also very good to use as a daily workhorse, which is really hilarious!
