the realme gt master explorer edition is finally here and being that it has first released in
china i have managed to get my hands on it quite early that being said the prices at the top right
corner of the screen reflect the current chinese price which i have converted into other currencies
since global pricing has yet to be announced the master explorer edition is a new addition
to the realme gt lineup which was released earlier on this year real me have decided to
switch out the snapdragon aaa chipsets we saw in the earlier model for a snapdragon 870 chip
in favor of an aluminum frame vegan leather back curved display and flagship status imax 766
camera sensor which was found in the oppo find x3 pro if you ask me the slight dip in performance in
order to make way for these welcomed changes is a step in the right direction for real me
especially since the price has remained the same of course we get a usb type-a type-c
cable in the box as well as a sim ejector tool and we do indeed get the same 65 watt super dot
wired charging which can supposedly do 100 in 33 minutes with the same 4 500 milliamp hour battery
all that said and done and all those nifty goodies in the box let's go ahead and unwrap this guy the
real me gt master edition series comes in either a voyager gray or voyager apricot which are actually
vegan leather suitcase skins or you can pick it up in dawn glass or snow mountain glass the silicon
case that comes included in the box looks a hell of a lot like the actual design of the phone it
looks absolutely striking from the back and inside it we find the snapdragon 877 nanometer chipset
lpddr5 ram ufs 3.1 storage and of course 5g wi-fi 6 bluetooth 5.2 and nfc the regular gt that we saw
earlier on this year had plastic frames wrapping around at this time we get welcome to an aluminum
frame we have a gorilla glass 5 front and you can either pick up the vegan leather back or the gloss
back depending on which model you go for the glass one is slightly thinner but it is also slightly
heavier another extremely welcome change to the gt lineup is the introduction of the imx 766 sensor
which we saw in the oppo find x3 pro early on this year and that costs a hell of a lot more than this
it is a 50 megapixel 24 millimeter sensor with an aperture of f 1.9 that is paired alongside
a 16 megapixel ultra wide and unfortunately 2 megapixel macro with unfortunately no telephoto
lens i'm going to be focusing just on that imx 766 sensor for now using the 50 megapixel indoors
doesn't look the best since it's only really good outdoors but dropping it down bending down
the shot to 12.5 megapixel using that same sensor looks great we don't have optical zoom over here
but two times digital doesn't look half bad five times digital not too bad the maximum is 20 times
which we'll get to in the full review definitely keen to deep dive into the cameras of the real me
gt explorer edition we're gonna have to wait and see what happens in the full review we have
a power button on the right hand side a split volume rocker on the left we have a dual sim 5g
standby sim slot of course and there is a water resistant seal strangely enough we have a usb
2.0 type c port and we have dual stereo speakers here with dolby atmos powering on
the phone for the first time over here you can indeed see that the screen is curved going into
the screen itself and checking out the software using that snappy and displayed fingerprint sensor
well welcome to realme 2.0 which is skinned over android 11. the software is all well and good but
what about the display itself well we are welcome to a 6.55 inch super amoled 20 by 9 curved display
it is full hd plus with a ppi of 402 it has dci p3 100 color gamut rating with hdr 10 plus
the peak brightness is a thousand 100 nits which is insane 120 hertz refresh rates and
480 hertz touch sampling rates we do have of course a 120 hertz refresh rates there is an
auto switch option which can automatically detect whether the app or screen that you're on should
be using 60 or 120 hertz and it's nice and fluid and of course the phone is fantastic all round the
screen is curved finally and it looks absolutely fantastic at the back i cannot wait to deep dive
into that gorgeous camera system on top of the elegant looking suitcase vegan leather back as
well as all of its internal components and of course performance 2 in my full review make sure
