17 February 2017
How many front cameras is too many? Certainly not two - two is just right, vivo says, and ushers in the V5 Plus.

NikiDroid, 08 May 2022Sorry for late reply, I seldom open old phone page anymore.... moreRealme GT Master is a great phone and much better than the recent Realme 9 series launched. I thought to have one but just then Realme threw the bomb. At $300 we were having Realme X7 Max with the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 SoC, 12GB LPDDR4X RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, Samsung AMOLED display and 3.5mm audio jack. At 300 bucks, it is the king of all new smartphones. No wonder Realme stopped production of X7 Max in India, it was eating up the entire Realme portfolio. Realme did the same thing with X2 Pro.

Production of exceptional phones does not last long.

    RishiGuru, 23 Sep 2021I understand. Recently I ordered a brand new Realme X2 Pro ... moreSorry for late reply, I seldom open old phone page anymore. Today just check Vivo V5 Plus opinions and review comments.

    I bought realme GT Master for $351 on August 2021. So far the phone is good, I love it.

      NikiDroid, 23 Sep 2021I had sold the phone more than 1 hour ago. I use Realme GT ... moreI understand. Recently I ordered a brand new Realme X2 Pro from Amazon India. It of 12/256 GB memory configuration. Paid INR 22.85K ($313, 264 euros) after discounts without exchange.

      Oppo created the Reno Ace back in 2019, and the same phone was used by its sub-brands as Realme X2 Pro and Oneplus 7T with minor changes in hardware specifications according to market needs. Now I understand why X2 Pro is widely regarded as the best phone ever to adorn a Realme logo. It is basically a rebranded Oneplus 7T at half the price!!! I am just blown away.

      Flagship grade high quality craftsmanship, premium glass aluminum build. The ceramic white back glass looks stunning with sand-blasted aluminum frame. Awesome Samsung E3 AMOLED display, very bright at over 1000 nits, 90 Hz refresh rate with DC Dimming. Widevine L1 support so Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hotstar runs in full-HD.

      Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ SoC paired with 12 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.0 storage. There is not any app I can find that can even stress this powerhouse. UI @ 90Hz is liquid smooth. Updated to latest Realme 2.0 UI over Android 11 with July,2021 security patch.

      Great sounding stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, one of the best in terms of sound quality & loudest I have heard. 3.5mm audio jack on a flagship. Wow!! On charging speeds, this phone is a rocket. 0 to 100% (4000 mAh) in 30 mins flat.

      How is your experience on Realme GT Master Edition and how much the phone costs?

                        Anonymous, 09 Oct 2017Can I use Duail sim and memory cardNo, only two SIM cards. No slot microSD.

                          Inverted Star, 01 Apr 2017Why do some of the companies wants to copy Apple's design, ... moreI think because Apple is most people use, so they think if their design product like Apple iPhone, some consumeers would think to buy Android.

                            Vicky, 10 Jul 2017There is ni video call option...In Indonesia video call operator is not popular again since Android can use WeChat, Skype, for video call by data. So, video call by operator is abandoned.
