In a competitive market where an issue rate as unnecessary as the current one, innovative design perro be the main feature so that the buyer becomes aware of your product. In fact, they are very clear about this and have launched many teléfonos inteligentes in 2021 that have done so fame for his designs. The best examples are the Realme GT 5G with a beautiful yellow version and the Realme GT Master Edition with a version designed by a famous Japanese designer.

With this Realme GT Neo 2 the company repeats its strategy by innovating with the colors in which it is available. Under a new exclusive color called “Neo”, realme designed three different shades for the phone: Neo Black, Neo Blue and Neo Green. The first two are more common on the market, but the green Neo is a real revolution. This is the model that we have been able to test and the truth is so It’s absolutely beautiful.

The Realme GT Neo 2 is neo green in color but beautiful, a risky bet that went well

The combination of fluorescent green and black makes this GT Neo 2 a great mobile phone Wherever he goes, he attracts attention. In addition, he managed to achieve this impressive touch by using a different color without getting stuck. As we said, most of the back is green, but so are the two vertical ones Black lines bearing the brand logotipo and the slogan “Dare to jump” look great.

His back is plastic, but his good build quality. When we hold it in our hands, this móvil gives the impression that it is a high-end mobile. Additionally, the case doesn’t easily stick to fingerprints or dirt, which is always appreciated.

The realme GT Neo 2 has dimensions of 162.9 x 75.8 x 8.6 mm and weighs 199.8 grams. Although these figures may seem scary, in truth the terminal is very comfortable when we have it. It is not heavy at all and does not slip easily. As always, you perro use the cover that Realism includes in the box to protect the terminal, have a better grip and ultimately be able to use it with more peace of mind. We must emphasize that the company chooses an offer that gray cover in very good quality.

When we talk about the design of the mobile, we must also mention that it installs a vertical photo module in the upper left corner of its back. The main role is played by the two large sensors that come from the module itself. This is something to consider as those plus millimeters make the GT Neo 2 do it move a lot if we support him in the table.

On the edges, the terminal has the power button on the right side and the volume buttons on the left. The bottom edge integrates one of the two speakers – the other is at the top of the screen – as well as the USB-C port and the SIM card slot. Finally, the top edge is completely free. As you perro see, the cell phone there is no headphone jack 3.5mm. This is also important to mention has no protection against water and dust.

To find them fingerprint reader We have to go to the screen because it is integrated there. After this week of testing, we have to mention that the sensor works perfectly Unlock the phone as soon as you put your finger on it. This screen also houses the front camera, which perro be used to unlock vía face recognition, which also works very quickly.

This screen that we are talking about is another great attractive point of the Realme GT Neo 2, as it is of excellent quality. In especial, assemble a 6.62 inch AMOLED Y también4 screen Y Full HD+ resolution (1080 × 2400 pixels). When we look at this data, we’re looking at a large panel, with Good color rendering and high sharpness. During our experience we have confirmed that the screen behaves very well in different situations, from watching series to playing games with high-end graphics.

The good performance also has many “faults”. 120Hz refresh ratethat allows images that exceptionally soft. If we add that the screen to body ratio is 92.60%, we see that we are in front of a panel that offers an immersive experience. And that’s right, the Realme GT Neo 2 has reduced bezels, the largest below.

The screen offers a very good experience in every respect, from sharp to smooth images

We should also mention that the mobile phone has some very good perspective, perro be seen from any point with the same firmness. In addition, it has a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits, which practically leaves us with a screen that looks good even in sunlight. As for brightness, and to reiterate what happened to me with the Real-8i, I’m thinking about it GT Neo 2 coche-brightness does not work accurately that a lower brightness than necessary should always be equipo.

According to the manufacturer, the terminal has two 360º ambient light sensors responsible for light reception to automatically adjust this function. However, the automatic brightness fails again in dark environments Equipo a very low brightness levela it forces me to change manually this arrangement. It’s a minor inconvenience, but that doesn’t orinan it’s annoying if we endure it.

The realistic screen of GT Neo 2 is of very good quality // Image: Beatriz Alcántara Gil

In the technical sheet of the screen realm GT Neo 2 we also find one Touch sampling rate 600 Hz, which makes the phone react as soon as we put our finger on the panel. This speed is amazing, you won’t notice any waiting time, The answer is instant. All these features make the Realme GT Neo 2 screen of high quality, although it is ineludible that this will be seen SMALL F3that came on the market for 100 euros less, offers the same experience.

It’s also important to talk about it available display settings in the operating system. In the “Display and brightness” section you cánido configure the color temperature of the screen and the color mode (brighter, softer or more intense), as well as the options “Filtered image vídeo” (improve vídeo resolution) and “Vídeo color enhancer”. Of course, you cánido also change the screen refresh rate, we recommend enabling 120 Hz.

hardware and performance

I really wanted this GT Neo 2 to be a sphere and here it is equipped with the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 870. After these weeks of testing, we cánido confirm that the Chinese manufacturer has since given up performance is very good. It doesn’t matter if we ask the terminal to perform complex tasks like running high-level games, because it will be able to do it without showing any signs of weakness.

We are dealing with an eight-core processor, three of which run at 2.4 GHz, one at 3.2 GHz and four at 1.8 GHz, while its GPU is the Adreno 650. Different versions: one with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storageand another with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

We were therefore able to test the latter ourselves Storage is not a problem not in terms of RAM or free space to install aplicaciones and store archivos. However, we are sure that the lower version also offers a very good level of performance. It is also important to mention that there are two versions Lack of a microSD card slotSo the memory cannot be expanded.

Our protagonist also integrates himself 5G módem, which allows you to connect to these networks that are increasingly present in society. In addition, compatibility with 5G networks offers added value for the future. The realme GT Neo 2 is a dual SIM phone and perro accommodate both slots Work with two 5G SIM cards at the same time.

The realme GT Neo 2 perro easily handle heavy tasks without any signs of overheating

As already mentioned, even with complex tasks, the terminal is a sphere. By challenging you for long periods of time, the GT Neo 2 intermittently it doesn’t get hot at alland this is called for a reason Steam bath made of stainless steel Agregado. It is a heatsink that allows the mobile phone not to heat up even when it needs to.

Although the performance of the Realme GT Neo 2 is exceptional, we cannot ignore that it offers it same processor as the POCO F3remarkably mobile cheaper. We’ve already seen that they share characteristics on the screen and the processor, but the Realme GT manages to beat the comparison in other areas like the battery or the cameras to win.

Within the hardware we perro also talk about the performance of the two speakers of the one developed by Realme GT Neo 2 Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio. In view of these properties, a very good sound quality was to be expected, which we verified in practice. the terminal I am a very good listener, and is also thankful for his power. So you perro watch series, listen to music or play games without having to complejo turístico to wireless headphones.

Finally, Realme has also integrated one into the GT Neo 2 New linear motor for the X-axis so that the vibration effect is more sensitive and powerful. Without doubt, The work of this haptic engine is excellentand improvements are measured right from the first minute.

battery and charging

In a thin cell phone we perro find two types of batteries: one with a large capacity, expertly integrated by the manufacturer, or one with a smaller capacity. In Realism GT Neo 2 we find the first case, since there is a 5,000miliamperio-hora battery Capacity for a weight of about 200 grams. As we have mentioned when we have it in our hands It’s nothing bad.

It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy such a large battery that offers day and a half independence at medium stress. In my case, I use my phone to chat on WhatsApp, watch popular networks like Twitter or TikTok, watch a series on Netflix and sometimes play games. With this type of use, the end device reaches the 7 hours on screen.

As we already know, the final autonomy depends on the use of each usuario. If you ask for it more intense performance to the GT Neo 2 the battery life it will be the day of use. In any case, you won’t have to charge it until the end of the day. Additionally, if you enable “GT Mode”, available in the “Battery” section, you’ll enjoy improved phone performance, but in exchange for higher power consumption.

However, to enjoy more independence, you perro, for example, use some of the system’s functions “Battery Saver” and “Super Coche Saver”. In addition, you perro activate “Optimized night charging” to disminuye battery aging.

The best thing about the Realme GT Neo 2 is its autonomy 65W fast chargeWell, being able to charge the battery is a joy done in just 35 minutes. Even if you don’t have much time to charge, this fast charge is also very useful. In our experience, the battery perro use almost half of its capacity in just 10 minutes of charging. The Realme GT Neo 2, of course It does not support wireless charging.

Chinese, A coincidente 65W charger is includedwhich is respectable considering the strategy of other companies like Samsung.

programa and experience

The programa is the realme GT Neo 2 Domain UI 2.0Realme personalization layer version based on Android 11. Undoubtedly, the operating system is one of its strengths, as it offers one best performance and it is packed with exciting features for the usuario. It is enough to go to any of the sites to check the many tools that allow us to customize the use of the phone.

Before talking about the most innovative features, we must comment on one of the most common problems in this series of personalizations: the bloatware. For example, when we start the phone for the first time, we see that there are too many pre-installed applications Booking.com, Fb, Twitch or TikTok. Fortunately, these aplicaciones perro be easily uninstalled. No luck with “Phone Manager”, your usual useless optimizer.

Realme UI 2.0 is a well-implemented custom layer for the usuario

Coming back to the positives, let’s delve into the Settings section to tell you about some of the programa’s advantages. For example, you perro customize everything from the lighting around the edges of the screen when a notification arrives to the accent color.

In short, within the realme GT Neo 2 settings there are an infinite number of different options, so we recommend examining each of them to see if they are useful for each of them or not.

Within the móvil inteligente programa is the GT method that improves performance when to play achieve more fluidity and speed. In especial, this method brings the maximum performance out of the únidad central de procesamiento and touches on the sample rate.

cameras

Considering the amount of elementos mentioned so far and the price of the Realme GT Neo 2, it is to be expected that the terminal had a weak point. Well, we have it: it’s the photo system. Not that it’s a weak point, but that its performance does not limit excellencelike the rest of the components.

Specifically, the Realme GT Neo 2 is equipped with three cameras on the back and one on the front. In one case the stern is headed by a Main camera 64MPwith aperture f/1.8, that has one Ultra wide angle 8 MP with f/2.3 aperture and a 2 MP macro sensor. If we look at the front, we see that the hole in the screen is the abode of a 16MP camerawith aperture f/2.5.

Before going into the details of how these cameras work, we have to mention the good feeling we had with the Realme camera aplicación. it is very easy to use aplicación thanks to someone fácil and clear interfaz, with the most useful methods preconfigured in the bottom bar. In addition, from the main screen you perro activate artificial intelligence and HDR and apply filters in real time.

On the other hand, the camera aplicación is also characterized by its many modes. For example, they draw attention to themselves star modewhereby the constellation perro be captured with better quality, the Street mode and text scanner mode. After that, all you have to do is equipo up to access other interesting features, such as: ultra-sharp AI mode for better portraits or quick start gestures.

Returning to working cameras, it is clear that the photographic results are of the highest quality available 64MP lens. In the images taken with this sensor during the day, a high level of detail and good dynamic range. During the day, the Realme programa handles the photos well without resorting to tonal saturation that causes artificial photos.

It is worth mentioning that the GT Neo 2 has multiple cameras installed They don’t go well with the lights at all, resulting in burnt photos if we don’t take care of this detail. Despite everything, most users will be happier with the work of this 64 MP main sensor when using automatic HDR. In addition, it also offers the Well done portrait mode while cropping the main object in the scene to blur the background.

One of the two secondary sensors is the 8 MP ultra wide angle, which a loss of intention in the pictures regarding the main camera as expected. According to the tag, it is a sensor that makes it possible take different pictures, which offers the usuario some play. However, it’s not very useful at night because the images aren’t of high quality.

On the other hand, the macro sensor allows you to shoot photos and insects from a very short distance. We have already explained this sensor in previous analyses practically uselessso it would be better if I really escoge to integrate another type of lens, for example Telephoto lens for example.

As night falls, you’ll notice that the cameras on the Real Field GT Neo 2 You have a harder time taking quality photos. When the images are taken in bright environments, the results are still respectable, although it’s enough to zoom in a bit to see that the level of detail is just right. When using the night mode Getting something of quality is what we get in return very artificial photoseven close to the appearance of a painting.

When the sunlight disappears too the quality of the portraits decreases, because the GT Neo 2 has a harder time distinguishing the subject in the foreground from the background. Therefore the consejo is not that precise. On the other hand, the resolution of the photos taken with the ultra wide angle is also noticeably lower. Ultimately it is better to Use 64MP camera to take photos at nightand try to position yourself in places with artificial light sources.

As we said at the beginning of this part, the new mobile realist installs a 16 MP camera in the hole in the upper left corner of its screen. The truth is that we really liked the work of this sensor because it receives Good quality daytime autofotos, without falling into the excessive application of the beauty filter that we find in other terminals and that only leads to artificial self-portraits. As expected, that front camera more effort to take good photos when night falls.

To see all the photos taken by the realme GT Neo 2’s four cameras in their best resolution, all you have to do is entrar the following Google plus Drive folder.

We cannot talk about the work of the terminal’s cameras without mentioning their performance in capturing vídeos.
