Realme GT5 Pro review – GSMArena.com tests

Introduction

The Realme GT collection telephones are usually restricted to the China market and we might not be there, however now we have connections – that is how this GT5 Professional ended up on our check bench. The newest in a lineup of sort-of high-end units comes with the newest top-tier Snapdragon, an intriguing digicam system, and a super-bright show – how disillusioned are we going to be in the long run that it isn’t going to be bought exterior of its residence nation?

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 goes to be the default top-tier chipset for 2024, and we have began getting increasingly more units with it – hardly one thing particular itself, however an integral a part of most particular packages for the approaching months. With a base reminiscence configuration of 12GB/256GB, the GT5 Professional is decently-specced already, however if you’d like extra, it goes all the best way as much as 16GB/1TB (which occurs to be our assessment unit’s trim stage).

The triple digicam’s ultrawide finish is markedly unremarkable, but it surely will get higher greater up the zoom vary. The primary digicam is kind of the identical as on the Discover N3 (that we beloved), whereas the telephoto seems to be lifted off the Discover X6 Professional – that is flagship-grade {hardware} if we ever noticed any.

The show is seemingly all new, and Realme boasts a 4,500-nit peak brightness – whereas we all know we can’t be seeing that on our meters, it is definitely going to be one vivid panel. It is also 144Hz and Dolby Imaginative and prescient-capable, so it must be higher than your common display.

The remainder of the specs aren’t half-bad both. A 5,400mAh battery is a notch greater than your common 5,000mAh energy pack, whereas the 100W charger guarantees speedy top-ups. The IP64 score seems like Realme did not wish to get tangled in guarantee disputes over drowned GT5 Execs, but it surely’s nonetheless probably the most dustproof cellphone from the model, with some first rate waterproofing too. An infrared emitter and a coronary heart price monitor within the fingerprint reader are value mentioning, too, within the small niceties class.
