Realme GT Neo 3T — Review & Full Phone Specifications

you may have already seen a review of the value-packed Realme GT Neo3 but that’s not the only flagship killer in town say hello to its cousin the Realme GT Neo 3T so this model has an extra t but what else does it bring to the table and could it be the more competitive one. they say there’s nothing new under the sun and that may be the case with the Realme GT Neo 3T it brings nearly identical specs to last year’s Realme GT Neo2 with the main difference being faster 80 watt charging

this year’s other model the Realme GT Neo3 is the odd one out with a mediate chipset and different main camera and can come in a variant with super fast 150 watt charging while the GT Neo 3T may not be so fresh specs wise at least it brings a racing themed look with a checkered flag pattern and is quite snazzy in the frosted yellow the curved back and frame are made of plastic and the phone is a little bit on the heftier side you won’t find any official ingress protection here which some competitors do have at this price unlike the GT Neo3 the 3T’s punch hole for the 16 megapixel selfie cam is in the corner not centered this is exactly the same as on last year’s model

the display itself is quite similar too it’s a 6.62 inch e4 amoled with a 1080p resolution and a fast 120hz refresh rate there’s hdr 10 plus support and of course the great contrast typical of an amoled panel but on top of that this display is improved over last year’s it’s both more color accurate and brighter we were able to measure a maximum of around 515 nits with the manual slider and this boosts to 800 nits in auto mode enough for comfortable legibility in the sun the high refresh rate is nice to smooth out the movements on screen when you’re swiping around but just like on other Realmes there’s no support for high frame rate gaming at least the refresh rate can dial down to 60 hertz

when idling to save energy and under the displays it’s a fingerprint reader for biometrics it’s fast and accurate we only wish its placement was a little higher for audio the Realme GT Neo3 has a pair of stereo speakers and they sound just like last year they earned a score of very good on our loudness test and the quality is good too with clear highs and noticeable lows the phone comes with 128 or 256 gigs of storage on board and that’s not expandable the interface of the GT Neo 3T is Realme ui 3.0 over android 12.

Specification of the Realme GT Neo 3T

it’s a pretty typical android based ui most of the additions you’d find here are cosmetic you can add your own personal touch too through the personalization options and settings here you can customize plenty of things including the wallpaper the icons and animations Realme ui also brings additional options when it comes to gaming accessible through an in-game overlay these include screenshots and recordings do not disturb and performance profiles

one of the most enticing features of the Realme GT Neo 3T is its chipset it’s a high-end snapdragon 875g which you’d find in many so-called flagship killer phones including last year’s GT Neo2 this chipset doesn’t achieve quite as high benchmark scores as the top flagships and is even edged out by the regular Realme GT Neo3 and is mediatek dimensity 810 but still the 3T packs more than enough punch for multitasking and great gaming performance and even better the phone has an advanced passive cooling system and its thermal management is excellent with stable sustained performance throughout our stress test that’s something that this year’s flagship struggle with just like last year’s model

the Realme GT Neo 3T has a 5000 mAh battery and battery life is comparable with an endurance rating of 118 hours in our proprietary tests charging has been upgraded it’s 80 watts now instead of 65. this is the big difference compared to last year but for some reason the actual speed hasn’t changed that’s not to say it isn’t fast we were able to charge from zero to ninety five percent in half an hour if you’re after even crazier charging speed you’d have to look into the regular GT Neo3 which can come with a huge 150 watt brick

now onto the cameras the GT Neo 3T has a 64 megapixel main cam an 8 megapixel ultra wide and a 2 megapixel macro cam overall it’s a pretty typical mid-range setup the main camera captures nice-looking 16-megapixel images with enough detail accurate exposure and excellent dynamic range colors are punchy but not over the top the sharpness could be better although there is some additional sharpening added the processing introduces effects like halos at the edges of buildings if you look closely portrait photos are somewhat underwhelming they’re on the soft side and the skin colors seem a bit off the subject separation is decent though the 8 megapixel ultrawide camera’s quality is pretty typical for this price range you get less detail and sharpness and more noise than the main cam

Camera Features of the Realme GT Neo 3T

the dynamic range isn’t as wide is still decent and the color rendition is pretty similar in low light the rendition of the main cams photos is quite different from last year’s model even though it’s the same hardware you get enough sharpness and a fair amount of detail the exposure is on point and light sources are handled well our main issue here was with the washed out looking colors these get a nice boost from the night mode alongside the sharpness and you get lower noise too shadows come out much brighter without ruining the highlights it is quite aggressive as far as night modes go though you could even say it looks unnatural in low light the ultrawide cam produces soft images with plenty of noise and limited dynamic range even though colors and contrast are nice

the night mode photos are completely different the dynamic range is much wider there’s plenty of detail across the whole frame and noise is hard to spot sharpness could be better but the result is still decent selfies are nothing to write home about the scenes are soft and noisy and the colors are a bit bland at least the dynamic range is good and the subject’s face remains well exposed the Realme GT Neo 3T’s main cam can shoot video in up to 4k at 60fps 4k footage has a high level of detail excellent sharpness and wide dynamic range we wish the colors were a bit more lively though the ultrawide cams 1080p videos have higher contrast and juicier looking colors but they’re quite soft with narrow dynamic range

so that’s the Realme GT Neo 3T you get all the features we liked in last year’s Realme GT Neo2 and on top of that you get a brighter screen and this checkered pattern on the back that’s pretty much the difference because this bigger charger doesn’t actually charge the phone any faster so there you have it don’t get me wrong the GT Neo 3T is a decent mid-ranger with a nice chipset but why pay the full price for a rebrand of last year’s phone especially when there are competitive offers even from Realme which at least tried to switch things up a little bit.
