For Realme it is “the most premium flagship ever”, citing the marketing material of the company itself: according to the company’s calculations it will be the first smartphone equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in Europe, and the first with a screen (trade name “Super Reality Display “) flat moved by LTPO 2.0 technology, with variable refresh between 1 and 120 Hz. DisplayMate certified A +.
Realme also says that GT 2 Pro is the first smartphone that uses biopolymers for the rear shell. More precisely, it is LNP ELCRIN, a material developed by the Saudi company SABIC, which uses different percentages of bio-based materials (for example from waste or biomass residues that cannot otherwise be used) guaranteeing the same properties as fossil alternatives. Realme promises a reduction in CO2 emissions of 2 kg for every kg of material produced. The smartphone was designed in collaboration with the famous Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa – it is such an important detail that there is his signature on the back of the body, at least in two of the four color variants available.
The list of firsts also continues in the photographic sector: the smartphone uses the first ultra-wide-angle camera with 150 ° of field, which in turn guarantees the first fish-eye mode in a smartphone. The main cam is instead one 50 MP with Sony IMX766 sensor and optical stabilization; a 2 MP macro completes the triptych.
Realme GT 2 is basically the same smartphone, at least from an aesthetic point of view, but with some disclaimer in specifications. Instead of S8G1 we find for example Snapdragon 888, while the display is AMOLED without LTPO (the maximum refresh is still 120 Hz), the resolution drops to FHD 1080p, instead of Gorilla Glass Victus there is the 5 and the peak brightness is 1,300 nit. The fisheye ultra-wide-angle camera also disappears; in its place always an ultra-wide but 8 MP. Summarizing by points
