Realme GT Neo 2 5G: First impression

Emerging smartphone-maker Realme on Wednesday (October 13) launched the GT Neo 2 5G smartphone in India.

. Realme GT Neo 2 %G comes in two configuration-- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage -- Rs 31,999 and Rs 35,999, respectively.

. DH has received the Realme GT Neo 2 review unit and here's our first impression of the new premium mid-range mobile.

. Design and display Our review unit is the Neo Black model. It has a smooth shell on the back with a frosted glass texture. The good thing I noticed is that it repels the fingerprint smudges colours and this helps the phone keep the visual appeal and needs less cleaning all through the day.

. On the front, it features a bright 6.62-inch full HD+ (2400 × 1080) E4 AMOLED display. It supports a 120Hz display refresh rate, HDR10+, offers up to 1300 nits brightness. It is safeguarded by Corning's Gorilla Glass 5 shield. This is good enough to protect the screen from scratches. The company also offers soft silicone rear-case for protection against accidental falls.

. The phone also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and so far it has been working without any fuss.

. Camera The new Realme GT Neo 2 5G houses a triple-camera module-- main 64MP (Samsung GW1 sensor, f/1.8) backed by an 8MP 119-degree ultra-wide lens (f/2.2) and a 2MP (f/2.4) macro camera with LED flash. On the front, it features a 16MP sensor.

. I took some snaps in the early morning with the sun playing hide and seek. But, Realme GT Neo 2 was still able to get some good pictures. It was able to pack all the details and colours too, look natural.

. In the afternoon with more sunshine, as you can see in the samples, it takes stunning images. Now, I am very eager to check how it will fare in the night. Come back for a detailed review soon.

. Processor configuration Under-the-hood, it comes with 7nm class Qualcomm Snapdragon (1 x 3.2GHz + 3 x 2.42GHz + 4 x 1.8GHz Hexa) 870 chipset with Adreno 650 GPU, Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0 OS, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

. So far, it has worked smoothly in terms of app loading, switching between apps and while operating the camera. But, I am very keen to see how the device fares while playing graphics intense games.

. As far as the 5G connectivity is concerned, it supports multiple Standalone (SA)/Non-Standalone (NSA) 5G bands--n1,n3,n5,n8,n28A,n41,n77 and n78. Also, it supports Wi-Fi 6 technology to ensure stronger internet connectivity with new-generation Wi-Fi routers at home and the office.

. It comes with a 5,000mAh cell and is enough to last a full day even under extreme usage. The company is offering a 65W charger with the retail box. It can fully charge up the phone from zero to 100 per cent in around 36 minutes
