The Realme GT5 Pro was formally unveiled this afternoon at a launch event hosted by Realme. Equipped with the most recent Snapdragon chip available, this handset serves as the most recent flagship offering from the Chinese brand. At 3,399 yuan (about $478) it is reasonably priced despite having flagship features.
NEWS ON THE LAUNCH OF THE REALME GT5 PRO
Style and Appearance
The Realme GT5 Pro takes design cues from the star-light track lens. Not only that, but it has the first super-hard aluminum middle frame in the business. According to the manufacturer, this frame is more durable than titanium. You may see straight lines and curves on the screen. Because of this, the screen appears straight yet feels curved. Claiming to be the thinnest chin on curved screens, the chin width is a mere 1.94mm.
The Realme GT5 Pro is available in three different colors: black (starry night), burnt orange, and white chalk. The ultra-modern nano-skin used to make this gadget can withstand impact and wear and tear up to 500,000 times. Not only that, it’s more durable and gentle on the skin. This black variant is made with Star Flash AG glass. The stars are represented by the light and shadow.
The display
When it comes to the screen, the Realme GT5 Pro has its own special design. Realme and BOE collaborated on the display’s development. The manufacturer asserts that its screen can take on the most powerful 1.5K screen in the world and usher in the 4K+ era of screen brightness. The 6.78-inch OLED panel has a resolution of 2780×1264. With a peak brightness of 4500 nits, this display uses BOE S1 luminescent material, also known as BOE X1. A manual brightness level of 1000 nits and a global brightness level of 1600 nits are both within its capabilities. It can play back HDR videos with Dolby Vision and supports Pro-XDR high dynamic range displays.
In addition, 2160Hz PWM dimming, next generation 8T LTPO, and maximum eye protection are all features that the screen offers. It is certified by Rheinland Global Eye Protection 3.0 and features high-brightness DC dimming. The new panel can also accommodate a bespoke refresh rate, 20,000-level dimming, 2160Hz immediate touch, and 144 Hz.
AI-Powered Palm-Navigation and Unlocking
A novel feature called quick palmprint unlocking is also included with the Realme GT5 Pro. Over ten thousand models were trained for the Realme GT5 Pro’s palmprint unlocking feature. Its unlocking speed is supposedly on par with that of face unlocking, according to the business. It has successfully unlocked with zero compromise in tens of millions of assault tests.
Moreover, this latest phone is compatible with AI gesture control. Clicks, swipes, and screen breaks are all possible air-to-air interactions that it can realize. Sliding short films, liking, and taking screenshots in the air are all possible with its 12 air-to-air motions. But for the time being, only certain apps, like Douyin, support these movements. Not only that, but the Realme GT5 Pro unlocked rapid palmprints before any other industry device.
Performance and Chip
The Realme GT5 Pro’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 system on a chip ensures top-notch performance. With a surface area of 12,000 mm² and six times the heat conductivity of an equivalent iceberg, it employs a 3VC iceberg cooling system. Also, the first-ever GPU+CPU dual scheduling was made possible with the debut of Geek Performance Panel 2.0.
An exceptional ray tracing engine for e-sports makes its debut on the Realme GT5 Pro. Light Tracing 2.0 is compatible with the mobile game “Backwater Cold,” and it is one of the first of its kind. This gadget has a 2160 Hz e-sports touch engine with game-specific memory Pro. Optimizing screen off-touch and edge touch, it is the first diaphragm touch mode in the industry.
The camera
This gadget uses an innovative ultra-light and shadow imaging technique in its camera area. The light and shadow lenses, which are Sony’s flagship products, are also included. An algorithm for ultra-light and shadow engines is also completely improved. The Sony IMX890 periscope telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide-angle macro cameras, along with the 50MP primary camera (Sony LYT-808, 1/1.4″, OIS), make up the new phone’s back camera system. Along with its 32MP front camera (Sony IMX615), it enables telephoto macro sensors.
The primary camera on this mobile phone is the ultra-light and shadow LYT-808 from Sony, which features a light and shadow sensor that is more than 1 inch. It helps with AI semantic perception, improving image quality, and calculating shadows and lights. This allows for a drastic enhancement of the visual impact. Additionally, it can capture shadows and extremely low light levels, allowing for zero-lag HDR with extraordinarily high dynamic range. In addition, it can recover nighttime colors, process RAW files losslessly, and work with ProLight’s fantastic night scene.
The first ever ultra-core telephoto imaging system is also unveiled by Realme GT5 Pro in collaboration with Qualcomm and ArcSoft. It has a shadow periscope telephoto and an IMX890 super light sensor. Reportedly competing with the lowest periscope telephoto lens on the market, it boasts a premium main camera sensor. Also included are telephoto close-ups, low-light telephoto portraiture, a 6X lossless zoom, and a 3X optical zoom. Not only that, the new phone can shoot in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision HDR in both the primary and telephoto cameras, making it the first Android phone to do so.
POWER, AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL
A massive 5400 mAh battery with 100W light-speed flash charging powers the Realme GT5 Pro. For the first smartphone ever, it also has 50W wireless flash charging support. The 329 yuan (about $46) AIRVOOC 50W wireless flash charging base is also released with this gadget. Additionally, the new phone has a maximum storage capacity of 1 terabyte and supports USB 3.2.
Cooling by 3VC ICEBERG
For the first time ever, this gadget also has a 3VC iceberg heat dissipation structure. It has a potential VC area of 12,000 square millimeters for heat dissipation. It is the biggest cooling VC in the business, according to the company. “Challenging the industry’s strongest heat dissipation VC” describes this trio of iceberg heat dissipators. As a result of its six-fold higher thermal conductivity, it is capable of chilling the core heat source to a maximum of 21.8°C.
The 3VC 3D heat dissipation design, crafted from copper alloy, is utilized for the first time in this gadget. According to Realme, it can enhance the ability to dissipate heat in a vertical orientation. This has the potential to decrease the thickness by 33% while simultaneously improving heat dissipation performance.
When tested under real-world conditions, the device reached a maximum temperature of 43.2°C and an average frame rate of 119.79FPS when running “Honor of Kings” for two hours at 120FPS with maximum image quality. Concurrently, the average frame rate reached 59.41FPS after 30 minutes of running “Genshin Impact” at 60FPS with the highest image quality on the mobile device.
Operating System
One of the first smartphones to come preinstalled with Realme UI 5.0 is the Realme GT5 Pro. This machine will receive three significant Android version updates and four years of system update maintenance. With Realme UI 5.0, you can get notification reminders quickly and enjoy the new interactive Fluid Cloud. The file management system allows for the use of a portable workstation, file transfers, and the ability to open files whenever needed.
