Design and Build

Available in Classic Black, Classic Blue, and Luxurious Orange, the GT Master sports a unique vegan leather and AG glass design that feels premium to hold. Measuring 159.2 x 73.5 x 8mm, it weighs about 180g.

The curved edges and flat rear panel with subtle texture make for a sleek and comfortable in-hand feel. The button placement is also well-thought-out. Overall, Realme has nailed the craftsmanship here for a mid-ranger.

Display

The 6.43-inch Super AMOLED screen is simply stunning with its Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1000nits peak brightness. This results in vibrant colors, deep blacks, and silky-smooth visuals.

The 20:9 aspect ratio is perfect for videos and games. Slim bezels maximize the immersive viewing experience. The GT Master’s display truly punches above its weight.

Performance

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM. This combination delivers great performance for daily tasks as well as graphics-heavy mobile games. Multitasking is also a breeze.

Connectivity aspects like dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and 5G support are welcome inclusions. The lack of expandable storage is slightly offset by the generous 128/256GB internal variants.

Cameras

The triple rear camera system houses a 64MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro lens. Photos come out detailed with accurate colors in good lighting. Low-light could be improved. Selfies are handled capably by the 32MP front camera. 4K video recording is also possible. While not revolutionary, the cameras are capable overall.

Battery Life

The 4,300mAh battery is relatively compact but still provides around 7-8 hours of screen-on-time. And charging speeds of up to 65W Wired are impressive, taking just 33 minutes to juice up fully.

Performance and Features

Running Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0 on top, the GT Master offers a clean interface and good integration of features like GT Mode for a performance boost. Haptics, stereo speakers, and performance are also well-optimized.

Pricing and Availability

The GT Master is priced starting at about $400, putting it in direct competition with some enticing offerings. But Realme delivers a unique blend of style, great display, and speed that’s truly worthy of consideration.

Final Verdict

If you want flagship-grade performance and design without the flagship price, the Realme GT Master fits the bill perfectly. It’s a powerful all-round package that masters both style and substance.
