16 December 2023
As solid a flagship as it gets.

For people who never use the ultrawide or very rarely use it like me it could be a good option. The 8mp ultrawide makes no difference to you anyway because the curved screen already rules it out for you as you basically complain about all phones with curved screens.

    I don't even like iPhones. But these days I don't like android phones either. They've all become wannabe iPhones with no headphone jack, no microSD, no FM radio and ridiculously inflated prices. So if I was buying a new phone, at this stage I'll probably just get an actual iPhone as the attractiveness of android is mostly gone.

    Also I never said "following" so yeah...

      A big downgrade from realme GT 2 Pro for ultrawide camera from 50 MP to 8 MP, it's time to switch for orher brands that give better specs for the price

        Pumpino, 16 Dec 2023Does that mean we can expect 7.99" phones soon? ;)I don't work for any of them so I don't know, all I know 6.8 I do not consider tablet, I can answer a call using 1 hand :) and make calls using 1 hand ;)

          You say following? , how long did it take to start giving amoled and higher refresh screens

            Anders, 16 Dec 2023"There is now - the GT5 Pro adds the final ingredient ... moreAs a former iPhone user since the 3GS to the 15 Pro I xan assure you a LOT of the Chinese brands are delivering better quality products with better components, equal warranty global or better (Apple does NOT ship you cost-free 2 way for warranty claims!!

            Their software has matured and even bested Apple! Apple is VERY slow to progress and takes, very often ly, a few steps backwards when delivering products and features aka NFC bumping to share co facts on Android was 2012 yet on 15 Pro Federighi - whom perso ally on stage made fun of NFC Bumping - goes on to use WiFi sharing for a bumping like transfer of contacts?! He looks fishy he comes across fishy and with that hypocritical bs I'm glad I left stagnant Apple.

            Those M series chips are gonna get a he'll of a short life of performance lead!

              "There is now - the GT5 Pro adds the final ingredient to complete the true flagship puzzle - flagship cameras."

              Incorrect. The final ingredient would be IP68. Which it doesn't have. Might as well just get an iPhone these days. Android has become pointless brands have turned themselves into knock-off iPhones.

                DaniPT, 16 Dec 2023The 8mp sensor is completely unjustified in a device of the... moreWhy not wait for this device to ship & you have it in hand before passing judgement?

                Hardware chosen is just half the battle. Everyone should know this by now.

                  Hope when it's come to India it's come with realme dealer

                    ua82, 16 Dec 20238+ inch is a tablet in my opinionDoes that mean we can expect 7.99" phones soon? ;)

                      The 8mp sensor is completely unjustified in a device of these aspirations. For a few extra dollars that would have hardly changed its price it could have had a decent ultrawide and with it a much more balanced and attractive set of cameras.

                        justasmile, 16 Dec 2023Okay, but where in the world can you find a 50w charger? LOLWherever these phones are officially sold, obviously. Altough oddly enough I bought my original 50W vivo wireless charger here in Hungary, yet vivo doesn't even sell any of their devices here. Alternatively you can easily order one online.

Especially because both the vivo and the Realme 50W wireless charger have a built-in fan for active cooling while charging.

                                      Stupid curved screen, otherwise I would have seriously considered buying Realme GT5 Pro.

                                        Aierlan, 16 Dec 2023A more expensive 50mp ultrawide like a Jn1 only costs about... moreYeah, having a IMX 590 for the telephoto and IMX 355 for ultrawide is better than having a JN1 for ultrawide and no telephoto at all but the dude seems to be a full Nothing fan boy and even defends digital zoom over optical zoom.
