This might be random but why not make two version, one that has 3.5mm and sd card slot but higher price and another version doesn't have those two components at a lower price.

Wow, disappointing that some leaked specs were wrong. No 6.8" screen or 5000mAh battery.
Pretty much a Realme 7 Pro with 5G and a Snapdragon 888 inside.
Even has the very basic and midrange Sony IMX682 main camera sensor. LOL
BBK group seems like they are limited to a maximum battery size of 4500mAH if they use dual cell 65W charging. Not big enough. Oneplus and Oppo just as guilty.
While the price may seem decent, Alternatives like a Samsung S20 FE are better value and more premium for similar money, especially in the camera department.

How ironic. Who'd have thought that the spiritual successor to my Pocophone F1 would be a Realmi.
That's kinda what happened here I think - until the K40's take a price cut at least, as that would be a good way to make them more competitive with this.

Price is $120 less, it uses an chip that is only 5% weaker but less likely to throttling and is way cooler, build quality/stereo speakers is the same among those two. Screen is also better, (the panel itself is best in class, it uses the same materials as S21 Ultra, whereas Realme uses super amoled which means E2 OLED tech, while K40 uses E4 OLED, even S10 uses E3). K40 has an more useful macro cam at 5 MP.
Realme only wins in headphone jack, hugher res main cam, faster charging, and Realme ui (if you like stock android)
For my money, K40 is better. And the $120 left can be used to uograde my storage if i need too in the K40. Or maybe even donate it to hospital

They are basically gaming focuses phones and just have midrange camera setups. Even the k40pro+ has basically the same rear camera setup as the Redmi note 9 pro 5g (although the 888 chip should help it to perform a good bit better). Still a midrange camera set-up all-round.

RN, 04 Mar 2021How about the microSD slot? Did GSMArena Team wrote it wro... moreGsmarena wrote wrong in both areas unfortunately. Only the headphone jack, fast charging, glass sandwich were right. I checked on the launch, here is the specs :
1. 120hz amoled with 360hz touch sampling at fhd+. It uses Super amoled tech, so not as good as even S10 seires which uses E3 Dynamic AMOLED, (k40 uses E4 AMOLED like s21 ultra)
2. Camera system is 64 MP samsung gw1, 8 MP f 2.2 without autofocus, and 2 MP macro at 4cm.
3. Build quality is vegan leather, GG5 front Aluminium frame, and you have option with GG5 back.
4. 65W Charging is true. With 4500mah battery split into two 2250mah. Along with their temperature sensora stuff.
5. Video is capped at 4k60fps and 720p 960fps. Better than the Redmi K40 that is limited to 4k30fps but K40 has 1080p at 960fps.
6. 8GB RAM/128GB storage configuration at CNY2,799 ($430/€360) price. 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage at CNY3,299 ($510/€420). Redmi K40 is way cheaper than this.
7. The Snapdragon 888 has either 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM with 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. You get no microSD slot, card slot holds two nano-SIM cards.

In the end it will come down to Android skin preference (Realme UI is totally different than MIUI) or/and to in depth reviews (because SD888 is a "problematic" chipset, so it will be interesting who use it better).
But I think, you can't go wrong with either of them.
This competition will be a big plus for customers, in the end.

This is slightly cheaper than the k40 pro. Also has stereo speakers. Similar elsewhere. Although the k40 pro has a slightly better screen it doesn't support DC dimming (at least at medium to low brightness). The gt seems more popular than the k40 pro based on reservations but the regular k40 in China is way hotter than both, which is making it almost impossible to buy at official prices.

Nexus 007, 04 Mar 2021Camera is total mess.Remember, this is one of Realme's dual Flagship strategy. With the GT, they are focusing on speed screen. While the other one focuses on camera. So you just need to wait for their photography phone. Maybe it will get Dimensity 1000+ at worse, and SD 870 at best. And the camera system will be better definitely

RN, 04 Mar 2021Glad I haven't upgraded my current 3yrs old lower midr... moreActually , we are trolled.
The camera system of GT is 64 + 8 + 2. Main/UW/Macro. Same as K40, 48 + 8 + 5. Gsmarena wrote it wromg for the first time, than they corrected it. Very disappointing camera system
Redmi K40
(better display quality panel, better camera software, more gcam support, better macro camera, cooler chip, less likely to heat and throttling, Ip52, Ir Blaster, stereo speaker)
Realme GT
(faster charging, better main camera, better Software if you like stock, more reasonable size)
