A few months back, realme introduced a flagship smartphone that not only looks unique, but also carries specs that should easily keep up with your gaming needs and sports a set of capable optics for mobile imaging in mind.<\/p>\n

Priced originally at PhP 29,999<\/strong> (currently discounted at PhP 25,999), we have spent a good amount of time with it, and here’s our take on one of realme’s supposed smartphone disruptors after months of usage.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With its racing stripe running the entire back panel, the phone is quite an attention-grabbing piece. During my time using it, I’ve heard a couple of people mention how the phone looks unique so it’s been a great conversation starter as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This stripe design is actually inspired by the Ford GT40 that beat a Ferrari for the first time at Le Mans back in the 1960s. According to the company, this symbolizes the next-level speed that realme GT Neo 3 can provide its users.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its back panel also feels nice to the touch. With a matte finish, it overall feels soft and smooth, and even minimizes fingerprints so that’s great news for those who are not into wiping their phones from time to time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You have your usual power button on the right side while the left has volume buttons. Its top is devoid of any ports except an additional speaker grille and a pinhole for one of its noise-canceling microphones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take a look below and you’ll see its USB-C for charging and data transfer, microphone pinhole, speaker grille, and its dual SIM slot with no space for storage expansion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At around 188 grams, this phone comes with a good heft to it, but more on the lighter side of things. Its slim form factor also makes operation easier on the hands, while its chamfered corners make gripping the device effortless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The realme GT Neo 3 is available in two colors namely Sprint White and Nitro Blue.<\/p>\n

Display and Multimedia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On to its display, we get a sizable 6.7-inch display with a nice OLED panel for that extra vivid colors. realme calls this its Reality Display which aims to provide lifelike colors and quality. True enough, it was able to produce nicely saturated images and color accurate hues.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I would even say its Full HD+ OLED screen is able to match color performance with top-of-the-line phones available today. Brightness could improve, though, especially for watching videos or playing games outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The display’s 120Hz refresh rate made things smoother to the eyes, but helps drain the battery faster. But my experience with it proved that I could be on 120Hz the entire time since charging the phone is very convenient. More on that later, though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With its large screen, watching short videos and playing mobile games are such easy things to do on the GT Neo 3. Factor in the fact that it comes with stereo speakers that could go loud enough for an immersive gaming session and you have a compact multimedia device in your hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You’d also be glad to know that the audio system comes with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio certification if you want to go for a more immersive experience with headphones on. These are some things I enjoyed on this phone as I like getting lost in my music from time to time.<\/p>\n

Cameras<\/strong><\/h2>\n

realme has previously proven to have familiarized itself in hitting a balance between good camera hardware and useful camera software, and it’s the same case for the GT Neo 3.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its 50-megapixel main sensor shoots clear images with natural color. Even in low light conditions, its 1\/1.56-inch sensor lets more light in. Combine that with its built-in OIS or Optical Image Stabilization and you get detailed images even after the sun goes down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also switch things up using its 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle shooter. With it, you can capture more impressive landscapes and play more with your shots. And when you want to get up close with your subjects, its 2-megapixel macro sensor is decent enough to produce details even with small objects.<\/p>\n
