Hey, what’s up? Sami here!
Today let’s take a quick look at the Realme GT 2.
In this video I will include unboxing, sound testing, and most importantly gaming, we’ve
tested really a lot of games, please stick around to the end of this video for that.
We’ll do a more detailed review when we got more time, please subscribe if you haven’t!
Alright, this is the packaging for the realme GT2.
Unlike other phone boxes we normally see, here we find this kind of wave pattern on
the surface, which feels nice.
Open the box, we see some Chinese texts on the insert, the embossed part is “The new
technological use of a piece of paper”.
Under that line, we have “This biological based material has extracted from paper pulp,
which has passed ISCC environment protection certification, this time we applied this new
material to the back panel of the realme GT 2 Master, Master Paper, and Paper Green phones”.
See, Tim Cook, you really gotta check out what other manufacturers are doing,
this is the true e-co friendly way of doing products!
Though I’ve no idea what is that if I don’t use Google Translation.
Inside the inset we have the pin and some paperwork, nothing new.
Then the phone, we’ll take a closer look later.
And then another layer, should be made from recycled material as well.
Under that we have a case, then the 65W fast charging adapter and a type-c cable,
that’s the unboxing.
Now moving to the phone.
Yes, we sound a bit too exaggerated but from our first impression,
this paper green phone feels and looks much more premium than those official rendering
photos on their website.
The phone is paper-inspired.
At first, I thought what could you inspire from a piece of paper,
there are so many things to be inspired by, right?
But seems they are doing a good job.
I’m just curious to know what’s the next thing they will be inspired,
remember last time they were inspired by a suitcase?
But I favor this paper design, as realme told us that by using this eco-friendly material,
they reduce carbon emissions by 63%, wow!
Let’s check out the design first.
On the left side, we have the volume rocker, and as you can see,
it’s really thin at only 8.6mm thickness.
The weight is 194.5grams, while the AG glass version is 199.8grams.
But my friend, in such a compact body it crams into a 4,500mah, no, that’s the last generation,
this time, it’s a 5,000mah capacity battery!
On the top, we have the noise canceling mic.
There is a speaker, a type-c charging port, mic, and a SIM card slot on the bottom.
BTW, the speaker is stereo, here I compared it with the Xiaomi 12.
I’m going to show you a really short clip because this music is copyrighted and to be
honest from my crappy recording mic, basically I can’t hear the difference, I will do a
detailed one later if you are interested.
Now, let me walk you through the specs.
The Realme GT 2 features a 6.62-inch FHD+ E4 AMOLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate
and 720Hz sampling rate.
The screen is protected by the fifth generation of Corning Gorilla Glass, I can do that because
I bought the insurance, you’d better not do that.
As for the camera system, the main shooter is 50MP Sony IMX766 that comes with OIS and
EIS dual stabilization, with its self-developed ProLight Super Sensitivity Technology, which
could generate a cleaner and sharper image under dark situations.
It also comes with a 4cm macro lens and a 119-degree wide-angle snapper.
It looks less fun than the dual 50MP snapper on the GT 2 Pro version, but it’s not bad.
Especially when you can activate the camera by short press twice on the volume rocker,
so you won’t miss a single beautiful girl on the street, definitely a good design.
The camera supports up to 20x of zoom.
When you switch between different lenses seems very smooth.
When taking videos, it supports up to 10x of zoom and 4k/60fps.
One of the major upgrades for the GT 2 series phones is the cooling system.
Unlike the last generation, they feature a tempered liquid cooling system, this time
they upgraded with an aerospace-grade diamond ice core cooling system.
Sounds like yet another gimmick and definitely we are not going to find any diamonds inside
the phone.
But from realme’s official data, it improves the heat dissipation capacity by 50%-60%,
which could bring down 18 degrees Celsius for the CPU core.
Well, we tried the Genshin Impact in its high graphics and high framerate,
the thermals feel fine.
BTW you can always turn on the GT Mode 3.0 whenever you are gaming, which could bring
a smoother experience.
Or when you are watching videos you can turn it on as well, which the official info says
it can enhance video color and dynamic frame insertion, here is an 8K video.
I don’t know if really makes the video better, but the dancing girl here is really hot.
Last is the OS.
It’s Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12, it supports up to 7gigs of RAM expansion.
It feels more stable, smoother than the last generation.
To match the color of the back panel, it offers this green or white theme.
Others it includes X-axis linear motor and DC Diming,
realme always features this DC dimming feature, which is great.
Alright, that’s the video.
