What a horrible rear cameras' design. Yuck. Every time it's getting worse, there's no more phones I like.

    The reason phones are getting more expensive is not because people are actually buying them. Its the exact opposite.

    Most people arent buying them(not on starting price at least), and thats the reason most companies raise the prices. So that
    a)they get more money from the fiew enthusiasts that buy them day one
    b)to keep the prices higher even when they are discounted.

    As for Realme, we have seen their bad pricing in other products, so its no surprise that the GT3 is priced badly.

    And no Gsmarena, that fact that phones are getting more expensive is not something to get over with.
    It means that companies must improve their device a lot to justify these prices.

      I going to meet myself today. Wish me luck.

        There are some wrong details mentioned in the review..
        1- It's slightly underclocked SD 8 Gen 1+ (3.0GHz) not 3.2GHz (better efficiency)
        2- Main Camera sensor is Sony IMX890.. not IMX766, which is same camera sensor of Onplus 11 & Oneplus 11R
        3- $650 price for 12GB -256GB - 240w.. the base version is around $500 (8GB - 256 - 150w) & u can get it for $450 from China sites

        All in all.. Realme GT3 have 95% same specs of Oneplus 11R (Ace 2), but it has a flat screen & faster charging.. everything else is nearly the same

        I prefer this flagship killer over those premium phones, which cost 2x price & only have slightly better cemras..

        Fun factor: GT3 & Oneplus 11R have (LPDDR5x) Ram.. while S23 Ultra still using (LPDDR5) Ram from 3 years ago ($450 Vs $1200) that's around 3x price difference.. am not saying S23 Ultra is inferior, but am saying S23 Ultra already cut some corners considering they charge like $1200+ for their phone

Which is true, by the way. What you said about Realme is also true, but it's kind of strange that you have to be aggressive about this. It makes you look like a Xiaomi fan boy. lol

                        once again, all these specs are wasted in a phone with less than average and useless cameras - two cameras are more than enough a proper ultrawide and good main

                                  'That's the 2023 curse, phones are getting drastically more expensive, and you should get over it.' Are they though? Last year the Xiaomi 12t pro released for €800 with basically the same specs as this (just a different main camera sensor and slower charging are the only real differences). So this is around €150 cheaper than a similarly specced phone from last year. The Oneplus 11 launched for a lot cheaper than the Oneplus 10pro. Although it is missing wireless charging and ip68 they would not account for the price difference. Personally think they should also have launched the 150w charging version globally. It would be around €50 cheaper and have better battery life based on the Chinese version.

                                        117 hour battery endurance is outstanding on a snapdragon 8 + gen 1 device.. Id be happy with that on my xiaomi 12tpro with 5000ma battery so to do it on a 4600ma battery with super fast charging is exceptional. Still waiting on android 13 miui 14 though so let's see if battery improves at all.
