Elonsson, 18 May 2023His points are valid. From my usage; Camera is worst, why? ... moreCamera is good. And phone is good. Only issue is quick overheating.

    Display is amazing and performance also very smooth and speed
    But main issue is over heating,and no telephoto sensor for better portraits ,if realme changed magnification cam to 12 mp or 10 mp telephoto cam,that was better

        Just bought this handset few fays ago, everything is amazing as you'd expect, "but" (as always) the cons is probably the selfie and some overheating issue from time to time, although might need some more time to judge this phone, it's a very impressive phone nonetheless

              Why GSMARENA gave a good review for the camera when it takes oversaturated photos?

For the price point; ois but shutter lag occured time to time resulting shaky image, xm12 performs better. Selfie: oversharpen af. Security update still stuck on March 23. If you want to UBL, you need to rollback & change region to India.

                This will be my first & last realme, will return to xm. At least with XM UBL is actually simpler, just gotta wait. I love to tinker, this is why I choose Android, xm seem to be the most friendly brand to let users do what they want with their devices.

                      Anonymous, 30 Jun 2022Well, (some) Realme's phones tend to be slightly more ... moreThey (Xiaomi) won't be able to provide stable software support with so many devices out there. They probably will support the most device with the most sales, but one major os update, lucky if you get 2.

                        Used the microscope to locate and remove a particularly annoying splinter in my hand yesterday. Well worth it.

                            I have both GT 2 pro and poco F1, meanwhile you are bragging about how good poco F1's camera is. As you are aware of it Poco won't capture shit in low light or darkness compared to GT 2 pro.

                              Moving from Poco F1 to Realme GT 2 Pro, was initially very excited about the phone specs, but quickly after 2-3 weeks of using the phone, i realized how much that this is a big disappointment. Here is why (so far):

                              Note:
                              At the time of this writing, the latest software version is realme UI 3.0 Android 12

                              1- App cloner work for a very few apps only and doesn't give option to clone most of my apps in the list. It shows me around 10 apps i can clone compared to almost everything i could clone on Poco F1. This is a big disappointment.

                              2- Using 3 fingers drag to take a screenshot sometimes doesn't work. Such glitches never happened on my old phone.

                              3- When i search app, after it's filtered, I can't drag it to home screen. So, if i need to put an app to the home screen, i have to scroll in the whole apps till i find it manually.

                              4- Volume buttons design on the left side is kinda stupid. When i use them to take photos, many times my other side of the hand press the power button on the right side by mistake, then the screen is locked :(

                              5- Compared to Poco F1, when i press the volume button, i can have a single click option to go to FULL silent mode (phone, media, etc). But here, you have to drag the slider of each item to mute it... Same to unmute.... Terrible.

                              6- Camera quality is way worse than my old Poco F1. Specially the selfe, it's terrible.

                              In summary, the phone RAM and CPU looks great compared to price, but the software features looks didn't evolve since 10 years compared to phones at that time.

                              So far, I'm seriously thinking to sell it as second hand and find Poco or Xiaomi same specs.

                                  Just received mine today, and since it is my first smartphone, what I can say is it feels surreal to say the least. I saved my income for almost half a year for it and yeah I hope it'll make it worth every cent.

Although I still prefer OneUI the most, I'll happily go for RealmeUI (which is basically ColorOS with some tweaks) rather than MIUI. These days, Xiaomi is just spamming phones with minor differences between each model, I don't think they'll be able to provide good software support to every model out there.

While videos are capped at 1080p30, the Photo quality easily rivals the S22 Ultra (did an irl test with some friends). The macro cam is by far the best i've ever seen on any phone. While it isn't as useful as a telephoto lens it is really fun to play around with and it can even record video. Main cam quality beats the iPhone 13 pro, while the ultrawide sits at iPhone 12 level. If you can get it for 600-700$ I'd instantly go for it

                                        Does every box must contain the silicon case? The seller I'll be buying from stated that theirs' doesn't include one.
