Hey Chris, Excellent video, and comparison as always. I'm in market for a phone for my wife (to replace her Poco X3 NFC, that's coming to a crawl latelly, even after reseting the phone to factory settings, and truth be told, the photos in low light are mediocre), and she just needs a phone that takes good photos (she doesn't game, neither she does heavy multi-tasking, so no need for Snap 8Gen1 or even 888 for sure), do you have any good suggestion, for a phone for a max price, of around 400 €, please? Thanks in advance, and once again, thank you for your hard work, and for bringing us the latest phones, love seeing your videos. You are the one I always wait, to check the stuff I like. Cheers mate!
Hi there is the Mi 11T or 11T pro but also this Realme GT2 I would recommend the main sensor is very good as long as she doesn’t take many ultra wides as it’s not good. But the price is over 400.
@@Techtablets Thank you so much Chris. Will start looking for deals for this GT2, waiting for the price to reach the 400 € mark (or lower). I hope you never hit a ceiling in TH-cam and your channel grows to what it deserves (10 million plus subscribers), as you really help us viewers, without asking for anything in return. I really appreciate your efforts and videos. Have a nice day Chris!
You seem to be the only reviewer talking about video audio quality, thank you! I'm looking to switch from a OP6T which has awful audio quality when recording in loud environments such as music concerts. I don't know much about audio bit rate but would you say the GT2/GT2 Pro would manage well in these situations or do you think it would struggle?
@@parshakamarsh Exactly. I have a poco x3 pro and it's hardware is good for the price but the software is pure ass. Poco phones have it worse than Xiaomi branded phones because they come with the poop launcher (poco launcher) it doesn't have proper android 10 icon animations and the Google feed is extremely laggy especially on 120hz.
I am looking a good phone with a good camera and video camera for me is very important.. is the ultra wide really bad by the day? At night i know is very bad. Is better than iPhone 11 Pro, Pixel 5, Xiaomi 11T Pro on camera and video? And Huawei P30 Pro ( 210€ )?? Please, help me!
You gotta really nice pad man! That TH-cam money is really taking off for you! Awesome to see your continued success my friend ! Where do you live? If you mind me asking! I remember when I subscribed and you were at 35k subs! Glad to see Your pushing thru!
Hi, thanks but had these place before I started so it's got nothing to do with YT money but my job :) It's Denia, Spain and thanks for being a long time sub!
How's the microphone quality? I've used a realme x2 pro and I had microphone issues as my friend also had that problem. So did realme improved the microphone quality? Or is it still noisy?
@TechTablets great review! It's been hard to find some info on the base GT2. I was wondering, do you think the mic quality is most definitely a bitrate/software issue? I might get the phone soon and if I'm sure it's not a hardware issue I'd just wait for a fix
It has some heat problems, but for every day use it's more power efficient than SD 888, which in this case working together with LTPO2 should give you really good battery life on the Gt2 Pro. The SD 8 gen 1 has some problems with power consumption and heat at the high end of its power though
You said 28kbps when you surely meant 128kbps, right? :P Tbh if you don’t use the ultra wide much I think the GT2 is fantastic. Main sensor is great, except for the classic stuttering. A pity the front facing camera is too pale for my linking.
Oops yea 128kbps lack of sleep does strange thing to me 😅 Yes if you don’t demand the best gaming performance or use the ultra wide much the GT2 is the way to go and save the $$$
Hello Tablet, Please I have a Realme GT2 Pro but the sim card tray is missing. I have checked AliExpress in order to buy one but unfortunately the sim card trays available on AliExpress are for Realme GT2. I can't really tell if it would fit the GT2 Pro. I have contacted Realme Customer care but they haven't responded yet. Luckily, I found out that you have reviewed both devices. I would be very grateful if you could check whether the sim card tray for the GT2 card can be used for the GT2 Pro before I buy from AliExpress. Thank you
My always on display is not showing up messages, no preview. I can only see the icon of which app I got a notification, but not the notification itself. Is this normal? Is that how it's supposed to be?
Pixel only con is it's not for gaming....otherwise I think pixel has better camera, brand value, security But if you consider overall scenario then for me atleast gt2.
Hi! As usual fantastic reviews! Where can I buy it? I want to buy from Aliexpress (I live in Brazil) but only is available with Chinese Rom, and I want the global rom.
@@Techtablets This is happening since the 2nd charging, sometimes is working fully but 90% times is working from 30 to 78% then is stops but if I use the phone while charging is working from 0 to 100 with no problems, but is charging in like 40-50 min
Or save some money by buying the Realme GT. Basically the same phone as the GT2 but a slightly smaller screen and battery. Bit of a letdown that only the Pro model has the latest SOC..
One of the finest build quality I ever come across is not that apple but poco to be frankly speaking glass finish from front and back unfortunately no commercial successful but that's OK things go wrong some time in term of real me 9 pro plus is under consideration
Ahhh, too bad for that audio of the video. Otherwise a very, very solid package. Most likely going to choose this one over iPhone 13 Pro Max and saving heaps of cash (320 € vs 1200 € in fact, lol). I just hope that Realme will fix that aggressive noise reduction with future software updates. No fix until now, as I've researched.
Sold my oppo find x5 pro , just too much expense in my hand . Bought a gt2 pro for £350... They R fantastic ,the software is identical to the oppo . The Ram , storage , processor , camera everything is the same. The areas where oppo excels is the build quality, the curved display + subjective) IP rating and wireless charging. Otherwise the gt2 pro is every bit a flagship.
But there is huge ppi difference also some other things are different in pro version.. But I'm still not convinced if it really worth to pay more money for pro version
Isn't GT2 more or less the same phone as Realme GT Neo 2 but with SD888 (instead of SD870) and a better main camera? If so, a rather small upgrade over that phone. I had Neo 2 for one week but sold it since it felt rather bland to me. Actually prefered Mi 11T over that phone.
Hi it is yes very similar and the design and look of them both. I think I would rather have this for the flat screen and Realme UI is better than MIUI.
I switched to GT2, budget wise, as there are no ip certificationa nd wireless charging on both. Plus, I don't need 2k screen lol This is the review I was looking for :D
Yes missing those two features. Good choice getting the GT2, most wont need the QHD+ screen.

@@varuna6089 yes definitely
@@varuna6089 if u wanna find a difference u will do so after closely searching but in daily life usage u wont see it.

Very good video Chris! With the GT neo3/One plus 10r launching it would be nice to see how the GT2 stacks up against them!
I have not seen a review and comparison between two phones with this accuracy, congratulations for your great work

It would struggle with music concerts I think. The audio in video is one of the weaknesses.
@@Techtablets How is the mic quality during Calls? Does the other person hear your voice clearly??
I can see these 2 taking quite a few sales from Xiaomi. I'd take that GT2 Pro over the Xiaomi 12 any day
The xiaomi 12 is a heat mess and with the small battery yeah the gt2 pro is a better choice.
Yes a much better choice and Realme UI 3 is so much better than MIUI 13 better optimisation.

Pixel for sure
My suggestion though it's been a yr😂
I wonder if those backs could get stained if their based on some type of paper or are they well sealed.?
I think it’s sealed against that so they don’t absorb liquids etc otherwise it would get ugly quickly
I REALLY NEED THIS, TY VERY MUCH
Is there any fps drop while video recording in gt 2 and does it supports OIS in 60 fps video?
Very good video!
Greetings from Germany.
Thank you very much!
Do either have HDR support in streaming apps?
any difference between the night mode performance of the main cameras?
I bought the gt2 just this week and super satisfied price was great 326€
the touch sampling rate of gt 2 is multi touch like nubia red magic 6s pro?or single touch pls answer
Multitouch and very good.
Please tell me, is sd gen1's ISP so much better as Qualcomm said?
It has some heat problems, but for every day use it's more power efficient than SD 888, which in this case working together with LTPO2 should give you really good battery life on the Gt2 Pro. The SD 8 gen 1 has some problems with power consumption and heat at the high end of its power though
