Realme has introduced the GT2 Professional, its newest flagship telephone and the followup to final 12 months’s spectacular GT. The previous Oppo sub-brand describes it as “essentially the most premium flagship ever by Realme,” and it’s tough to disagree with that evaluation.
The headline characteristic of the GT2 Professional is the way it seems to be and feels. Persevering with the corporate’s supplies collaboration with legendary Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, the GT2 Professional is the primary telephone to be made with a “bio-based polymer,” which Realme claims reduces carbon emissions by 35.5 % throughout manufacturing.
The “paper inexperienced” mannequin I’ve been utilizing has a singular matte end that feels coarse to the contact and doesn’t choose up fingerprints. I can’t converse to Realme’s environmental claims, however this telephone doesn’t really feel low-cost within the slightest — I feel it seems to be nice and feels higher than shiny glass or plastic.
The digital camera system has quite a bit in frequent with final 12 months’s flagship Oppo Discover X3 Professional. There’s a 50-megapixel most important digital camera with the identical IMX766 sensor, and the ultrawide can also be 50 megapixels however presumably makes use of a smaller sensor as a result of Realme calls it the “world’s first 150-degree” ultrawide. The outcomes are fairly distorted, and Realme leans into this by exaggerating the distortion even additional for a devoted fisheye mode that captures round pictures. The third lens within the digital camera array is a 40x “micro-lens” ultra-macro digital camera much like the Discover X3 Professional’s, although there’s no ring gentle. There’s no telephoto digital camera of any sort.
The GT2 Professional has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor alongside as much as 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The display screen is a 1-120Hz 1440p LTPO OLED panel with a a lot smaller chin than on the earlier GT. There’s a 5.000mAh battery that may be fast-charged as much as 65W, however sadly there’s nonetheless no wi-fi charging, which is one thing that may maintain me again from rating this alongside different flagship telephones.
The Realme GT2 Professional begins at €649 (~$725) in Europe. Realme can also be releasing a non-Professional model of the GT2 with a Snapdragon 888, a much less excessive 119-degree ultrawide, and a extra standard macro lens, with pricing beginning at €449 (~$500).
