Unboxing the Realme GT 2 with a review of the camera tech, gaming performance and everyday experience, plus a comparison vs the Pro smartphone model. Here's why the regular Realme GT 2 is a bargain at the early bird £399 UK asking price, with some of the best hardware you'll find for this budget. Check out my tour of the Pro model for more on that super-slick sucker!

That primary camera sensor is once again the Sony IMX766, with OIS - so you can expect good looking photos and video at almost any time of day. So the Realme GT 2 is certainly a strong rival to the OnePlus Nord 2 and Pixel 5a for the optics, despite the basic Ultra-Wide sensor.

That 6.7-inch OLED screen is a stunner, with sharp contrast and deep blacks, while the stereo speaker setup is perfectly respectable. You also have loads of storage, but no microSD support or headphone jack.

The Realme GT 2 has the same bio-plastic design of the Pro version, which not everyone will love. Personally, I'm not feeling the 'paper' finish. But overall this is one of the best value mid-range Android smartphones of 2022 (thus far).
