realme has another release now of the gt neo 3 series it is the 3t now this model is powered
by the snapdragon 870 it has 80 watt charging a larger 5 000 milliamp hour battery and the main
camera is megapixels other than that it really is identical to this the gt neo 3. but in this video
here i'm gonna go in depth we'll compare both of them i'll let you know the differences in
for example the loudspeakers gaming performance battery life the exact charge time results that i
get and any other differences so you know which one of these models you should actually pick
between the gt neo 3 and the gt neo 3t both phones come with these smoky grey tpu cases
we get our charging cable so with the neo 3 it's a type c to type c because the charger is a type
c charger as you can see right there 150 watts this one is type a to type c
and our charger is 80 watts with the 3t sim tray tool and paperwork is also included both
of these gt neo threes do have a similar style to them so they're going with the racing look
racing stripes here with this blue model of the neo three then this neo 3t has the chicken flag
look to it so plastic on the back of it plastic on the back of that and they do have plastic frames
thickness of both of them is about the same so they're just over 8.5 millimeters however there is
a difference in our weights and why is that well because we do have a larger battery so this is
the gt neo 3t with the 5 000 milliamp hour battery so that's 196 grams versus then the 4 500 milliamp
hour capacity which is lighter at 191 grams but i would not base my decision on their weight or the
thickness of them because they really are almost identical there other similarities well with the
layout of the ports is exactly the same and they both just take two nano sims they both support 5g
but if you want a micro sd card support or a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack you are out of luck you
see if i just put them both the same way that they are pretty much identical they are using the same
frame design which of course as mentioned is plastic so downwards firing a loudspeaker two
type c ports both of them do not support video out unfortunately i have to have dual loudspeakers
and there is a little grille here at the top with the gt neo 3 but it really makes no difference but
i'll give you a sample of what the speakers sound like and i'll compare both of them of course later
on in the video and two microphones there so we do have noise cancellation with voice calls
now the cameras what difference do we have here between these two models so we have a main 50
megapixel sensor on the neo 3 and that has optical image stabilization then versus a 64 megapixel in
the 3t now that one doesn't have any ois so it's going to be susceptible to movements now daylight
shots from these examples i'm showing you here side by side they are very similar there's not
that much of a difference and the ultra wides i won't show you and the selfies are exactly the
same more or less but a massive difference in low light performance here you can see that the
optical image stabilization with the 50 megapixel camera in the gt neo 3 is far superior so it's a
much sharper clearer image where it's a bit of a blurry mess the low light performance we do get
on the 3t so if you want the best camera the main cameras go for the neo 3. the screens on both of
these models are identical they're really good display so max brightness of 1300 nits they are
amoled screens 120 refresh rate and they both have a touch sampling rate of 360 megahertz so they're
identical the only difference between them is this the cutout so both of them have the same
16 megapixel front facing camera but i do prefer the gt neo 3s centered one and it's to the left
here with the 3t so i don't know why they decided to make that change but there it is now touch rate
on both of them is very good triggering gestures on both look really good blacks look really deep
and both of the displays can be made out in direct sunlight thanks to their peak 1300 nit brightness
they both do offer the same options in the rom so the refresh rate you can set to either auto
select which is going to be automatically going between 60 and 120 but i would have preferred to
have seen on both of these a 90 hertz option it seems to be huawei and a very few limited other
companies companies manufacturers and brands that do this but it would be a nice option there you
can both adjust all of the colors of them too so if you want to for example tweak the white balance
you can go and do that it's pretty standard there the options we do get really good now
from manufacturers both models of course running these same version of android android 12 and they
both run real me ui version 3. now there's a difference in the ram here and of course the
chipset so snapdragon 870 with eight gigabytes of ram and then the dimensi 8100 or 8100 and
you'll see here we can dedicate a little bit more with the 12 gigabytes of hardware ram and then
you could up that to what they call ram expansion now i really wish manufacturers would change this
not call it ram expansion it's very misleading and some people are saying yeah i can actually
just add seven gigabytes of ram to my phone you're not of course this is just a virtual memory this
is a caching system so you can allocate more space to that if you want to you can put up
to seven here with this model and five with the smaller ram version but what it's doing is helping
smooth out things with the additional caching file that it's using there the virtual memory so that's
a definite bonus to help speed up the ui which by the way i want to talk about is very good on both
i am noticing equal performance on these and maybe at times loading could be a little bit quicker
on the density 8100 device here but the snapdragon sd of course that 870 is a great chip and with
eight gigabytes of ram that's ample that's more than most people need anyway multitasking and
gestures on both are working really fluid and smooth there is really no noticeable difference
between both of these when it comes to that but let's jump into some actual benchmarks to see the
differences between the chipsets but just before i do wanted to point out that both of them the roms
are pretty much identical so you don't have a lot of bloatware nothing like what we get
with xiaomi with their almost two sometimes two and a half gigabytes of bloatware up to about 20
different applications here but you can see what i would classify classifiers blow tear tick tock
facebook a few others on there but it's not that bad at all it's pretty good
so charge time there's a huge difference here as you'd expect we've got 80 watt charging versus 150
and 150 charging both of these went from 10 to 100 in my test here only 14 minutes that is insane but
this is still crazy fast 31 minutes to go from 10 to 100 is in my books perfectly acceptable
and remember this is actually a larger battery i've got a slightly smaller battery here by 500
milliamp hours in the more expensive neo-3 model there so benchmarks will show us that
okay the gpu that is present in that dimension 8100 is more powerful now when i game i
can see this a little bit at times with a game like genshin impact but to be honest most other
games like pubg and things like that you will not notice a difference i would not base my decision
on really these synthetic benchmarks because both of them run really well games and you're going to
have no problems with them there just because one's higher in a benchmark doesn't really
really mean in real life views it's going to be better they look identical it's just
tiny little things that i'm picking up on here so the sequential storage read speeds here are the
fastest on the more expensive model and and you'll see there that especially the sequential rights
there's a big difference there so installation times of applications for example will be quicker
and are on this model but both have very decent random reads and rights again i wouldn't base my
decision on this i would base it on other things like camera battery life charge time and the big
one price tags of both of these so they both do support camera two api however with the mediatek
you might have a little bit more difficulty getting gcam ports and with the snapdragon
model here you should be a little bit better off there if you want to try out open camera
gcam both of them do pass the safety net check here which is good and what i expect
both of them do have a wide vine level one cert again i do expect this and they will both run
netflix in full hd but both of them amazon prime video sadly are only in standard definition
now there is a difference here with the gps and that's because there's a limitation with
the qualcomm chipsets some sort of law that they cannot have an accuracy better than three meters
to not compete with military tech or something like that uh but you can get down to an accuracy
of one here with the mediatek chip but the average signal strength is a little lower there
they're both very good so the gone are those days of mediatek gps being poor no it doesn't happen
what about throttling so this is where things get really interested and why interesting why
i was mentioning before that i wouldn't base my decision off synthetic benchmarks because
what really happens is you'll find that the density here it's a very good chip
will actually throttle down on performance and be a little slower than this model here after
things like gaming but really when i'm gaming on both of them they they're kind of feeling exactly
the same really not much of a difference here but still excellent result and i absolutely love this
chip this snapdragon 870 is in my eyes still qualcomm's best chip ever that they have made
battery life so the results here are interesting both of the displays were calibrated to 200 nits
of brightness it's a fixed looping benchmark test completely fair here both of them connected up to
the same network and this is what surprised me the immensity the 8100 is more efficient
it runs for a little longer here in this fixed test which is great even though it has a smaller
battery that's why it's a bit of a surprise now real world juice you are looking at around nine
hours of on-screen time eight and a half on both of these because it's different use from a looping
benchmark of course but both of them do have very good battery life and very good battery standby
drain it's not only that much compared to the xiaomi's out there that can be terrible sometimes
then audio so both of them do lack a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack unfortunately you
need to use an adapter and i've tested out both of them they sound similar but i do think the
audio actually sounds a little bit better on the qualcomm powered one here with the snapdragon 870
versus the mediatek there's just some differences in it but it sounds a little richer and
better i think uh with that qualcomm it just could be down to software but loudspeakers
let's have a listen to them now so first the 3t and then the three i will be playing
go
all right that was very close they sound almost identical the only thing is i think the neo three
is a fraction louder but there's really not much in it now both of these of course are
phones still so what about voice calls they sound fine on both it sounds like any other
phone flagship phone there is active background noise cancellation too with these models and then
finally gaming performance so they are both as i mentioned before super similar thermals on both
of these are really good and a total like pub g if you run smooth you've got the extreme rate option
here with the neo 3t with the camera of course and the left hand top corner there but if i set it to
hd i still get the extreme frame rate however with the snapdragon 870 powered model here if sorry
with the demensity 8100 model if i set that into hd you'll see that i lose the extreme frame rate
which is not what you want so both of them now set to extreme and we'll see just how they do perform
this is the 3t here so it's around 49 40 frames per second you can see the frame rate so it is
a little bit slower than what i'm seeing you can see some lag there let's see if i can just get a
kill okay i managed to get one kill there at least actually that's the third kill now for me so i can
still get the kills but the frame rate tends to dip down at times a little let's move over now
to the dominicity 8100 power device here and this is a constant 60 frames per second i've not
really seen it dipped down into the 40s you get just more consistent frame rates here with the
density so the mediatek chip here is performing a lot better than the snapdragon 870 which i'll
go back to one last time you can see there it's down to 40 frames per second down to 40 and then
again up to about 60 here outdoors it's just not as consistent oh and he's got me already so that's
game over for me with this game so if you want the best pubg performance go for the demensity
powered gt neo 3 not the 3t thermals on both of them are excellent with a title like pub g
that's just running at 60 frames per second max they are just well lukewarm they've both been
playing now for about 30 minutes this is in fact my second game that i've played second round here
and you see really similar temperatures now when you push them really hard with a game like gen
shan impact you will then see them get up to about 46 47 and 48 degrees celsius but both of them have
excellent thermals much better than the snapdragon triple eight or the eight gen one phones that i've
been testing out what about our pricing so unfortunately i don't have any info on the
pricing of these at the time of me recording this video but it's safe to say that yes the 3t is a
cheaper model so which model should you get it's very simple here that if money's not a problem and
you're looking at both of these i would go for the gt neo 3 why because it has better battery
life even though this has a larger battery it just shows you that the dementia 8100 is more efficient
it's also better at gaming pubg performance was normally a constant 60 frames per second
where this dipped down to 40 to 50 sometimes so it wasn't quite as good the charge time clearly
of course 150 watt charging versus 80 this is a lot faster as i showed you and then the camera the
main camera is quite different because it has the optical image stabilization low light performance
especially on the gt neo3 absolutely kills the 3t model here so thank you so much for watching this
in-depth comparison between these two models now you know which one is the best for you
