Realme GT 2 Master Explorer Edition: Specs and Features
The Realme GT 2 Master Edition takes its design cues from the GT Neo 3, which includes flat edges, a triangular arrangement for the rear cameras placed in a rectangular camera hump, and a punch-hole screen. It comes in Iceland, Cangyan, and Wilderness colorways. But, the Wilderness color option specifically stands out; it has the hard case legendary design and the “aviation-grade” aluminum middle frame.
The front has a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 360Hz touch sampling rate, and up to 1000Hz instantaneous sampling rate. It supports HDR10+, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 1.07 billion colors.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset is paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Alongside the Adreno GPU, Realme has integrated a dedicated X7 graphics chip made in collaboration with PixelWorks for an enhanced gaming experience that involves a high frame rate, high image quality, low latency, and low power consumption. These are ensured with the help of the 4x frame insertion technology and super-resolution technology. Other gaming-centric features include the GT Mode 3.0 and pressure-sensitive shoulder keys.
The photography part is handled by a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX766 sensor and OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide lens with an FoV of 150 degrees, and a 40x microscope lens. There’s a 16MP selfie shooter.
