Bummer: Realme GT 2 Pro now tipped to skip telephoto unit, 150-degree ultrawide-angle camera confirmed

16 December 2021
The last time Realme announced a flagship with a telephoto camera was back in February 2020.

It was 720€ new from amazon italy during black friday and i also saw it for €560 in amazon warehouse deals, in very good confdition.

                gsmfan, 16 Dec 2021Exactly. The only exception is actually the s20 FE, which r... moreOnePlus 9 was discounted here, but 9 Pro not. I would try OP9PRO, but seeing what a mess OP did with cores and new updates...I feel for some online photography and working with photos, good telephoto is needed. Zooming with normal camera up to 2x is ok, but to get that crisp photo, needed dedicated periscope telephoto camera.
                furthermore i believe 11T PRO telephoto macro is good, but main camera lacks OIS.

                Hopefully this year will be better and less "telephoto omitted" year. Problem is that not everyone is looking up to curved screen. Its sensibility around edges makes me pis**d, thats why only flat screen with telephoto kinda works for me. But really not so many contenders.

                  gsmfan1, 16 Dec 2021Indeed. In my opinion, OnePlus Nord 2 is the real flagship ... moreRealme GT Master Explorer Edition was a much better offering than Nord 2.
                  It definitely is a flagship killer. Availability worldwide might be a different issue.
                  The Nord 2 display wasn't that good.

                    who cares, it will be garbage as always. Does it make a difference between having garbage ultrawide and garbage telephoto? Realme is having trouble making the main camera usable, let alone the secondary ones.

                      Makimaki, 16 Dec 2021Depends what you want. PocoX3 pro is better than Nord 2 in ... moreExactly. The only exception is actually the s20 FE, which retails at 350 euros in Europe (4g snapdragon version) with a respectable telephoto with real optical zoom. If I have to pay 600euros, as I said, i would rather buy 2021 flagships eithr refurbished or new at a discounted price. For example, I can buy a new OnePlus 9 Pro for about 600 euros from some overseas retailers and it has a flagship camera and specs. That is even cheaper than google's standard pixel 6.

                        JURE 75, 16 Dec 2021yes realme, you have already lost me as a buyer. is that... moreWell said

                                As customers, we want a successor to the X3 Superzoom with newer components. Nothing more. We don't want the fastest overheating processors, a million Hz in the screens, or 150W charging. I had a better depth camera in Xiaomi Redmi Pro over 5 years ago. Take pity on this mass-produced electronic garbage. Where is the real market for mid-range smartphones?😥

No one ever thinks of giving three OS update to their midrange phones. But if I want to play around with custom ROMs, Xiaomi will definitely be my choice.

                                    If Realme going to position the GT as their flagship model, then they should give a real camera hardware. Let the GT Neo model be their flagship killer lineup. The X3 SuperZoom really promised a lot.

                                      Lost me as a buyer. Was so badly planning for it. No more BBK greedy group phones for me. Maybe Xiaomi or just goliath Sammy. BBK is like the infinite serpent, eating it's own kids for it's own self. Pathetic market & brand segregation.

                                        JURE 75, 16 Dec 2021yes realme, you have already lost me as a buyer. is that... moreDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE....stole my specs right out of my mind. That's all that's needed man. Perfect phone, but these greedy leeches want to keep the market segregated hence why we're in midst of all this usury and unnecessary fragmentation.

                                        Just changing your 8mpx to 10mpx (it's the bare minimum IMHO) 8mpx is too passé with all the 4k TVs galore and 8k TV's slowly trickling in.

                                        P.S: Fast charging is needed man, after using the convenience of 65w charging, it's really hard to wait for hours to let your phone charge fully. Sammy is still on with it's 25w potty charger (that too without a charger inside the box /facepalm).
