The previous generation of Realme GT5 attracted the attention of many young people with its hardcore design of "Awakening Halo System Pro", and this time the Pro version is a bit different. I believe that those who are concerned about the friends have also noticed the exposure of information, the real me GT5 Pro mainly "dual engine flagship", in the performance and image of the flagship performance, but I use down there are a lot of new ways to play, interested friends may wish to look down.

Realme GT5 Pro Review

From the classic design to add luxury texture

In terms of appearance, compared to the hardcore design of the GT5, the GT5 Pro feels more business-oriented, with the lens module adopting the classic centre-circle design, and the Seiko gears inside similar to those of a fine watch, for a bit of a tougher style. The module is also surrounded by an aluminium alloy bezel in the same colour, with a stainless steel protective ring to give the whole thing a more layered look.

In terms of colours, the GT5 Pro is available in "Red Rock", "White Moon" and "Starry Night", and the one we have in our hands is the main colour "Red Rock", which is made of the same high-tech nano-leather material as the "White Moon", with the texture details being deeper and more delicate than those of other phones that are made of plain leather. The "Starry Night" colour is made of Fluorite AG glass back cover, which has better heat dissipation capability than the other two colours.

The superior appearance is also reflected in the frame, Realme GT5 Pro adopts the exclusive custom-made super hard aluminium metal frame, the harder material makes the whole machine 40% more resistant to drops, so you don't need to worry about the deformation of the bezel due to the drop of the phone.

On the front of the body, Realme GT5 Pro is equipped with a 6.78-inch 1.5K non-double screen jointly customised with BOE's new-generation S1 flexible screen, which has an 8T LTPO adaptive refresh rate and supports intelligent changes from 0.5Hz to 144Hz. The screen supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness, DC dimming at high brightness, and 20,000 levels of dimming for all-weather eye protection.

The most surprising thing is the brightness, the real GT5 Pro in the settings of the brightness bar under the "increase the brightness range" option, the option will open the measured manual maximum brightness can reach 1000nit out of the performance of almost all flagship mobile phone manual maximum brightness, the highest brightness can be 1700nit when playing HDR video, the visual experience is very shocking.

Hardware and software in tandem for superior performance

Undoubtedly, as a flagship product of "no leapfrog, no release", Realme GT5 Pro is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, TSMC's 4nm process, 1+5+2 architecture, and a 30% increase in performance compared to its predecessor. ...... I'm sure you're all familiar with these parameters, so let's get straight to the gaming test.

In a room temperature of 24 degrees, open the "Glory of Kings", set the image quality to very high frame rate (120 frames) + extreme image quality, the average frame rate of 120.1 frames under half an hour of testing, and the power consumption is only 2.8W at the beginning of the third generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform for the "Glory of Kings" or "League of Legends handball game" this kind of low load game is no pressure.

In terms of temperature control, Realme GT5 Pro is equipped with the industry's first 3VC Iceberg cooling system, whose 12,000mm2 large VC total area, the largest VC ever recorded, together with the three-dimensional heat dissipation structure, makes heat dissipation more efficient. The temperature of the front of the body was 38 degrees and the temperature of the back of the body was 35.5 degrees after half an hour of "The Glory of Kings", which is an excellent performance.

Next, we went to "Original God", adjusted the picture quality to very high quality + 60 frames, restarted the game directly after the largest load of Sumeru City back and forth test, using the Night Orchid Early Pomelo + Twin Winds Resonance to increase the movement speed. After half an hour of testing, the average frame rate was 58.6 fps, the temperature of the front of the machine was 43.8 degrees, and the temperature of the back of the machine was 40.7 degrees. You can see that in the first 3 minutes, the frame rate is stable at 60 fps, and then it starts to fluctuate. Although there are a few lags in the actual experience, it will not affect the gaming experience.

In order to improve the gaming experience, a new "Geek Performance Panel" has been added to the Realme GT5, and this time, version 2.0 has been ushered in on the GT5 Pro. On top of freely adjusting the CPU's cores, it also adds the GPU's freedom to adjust its frequency, which means that we can choose a better rendering performance or lower power consumption according to the needs of the game.

We opened the "Geek Performance Panel", and adjusted the large and large core frequencies, as well as the GPU frequency, and ran the original route back and forth from God's Sumeru City again. This time, the time to stabilise 60 fps increased from 3 minutes to 13 minutes, but after 13 minutes the system took over the scheduling due to overheating, and the subsequent frame rates were more or less the same as normal.

After the system took over the scheduling, we immediately tested the temperatures of the body, and found that the temperature of the front of the body was 44.2 degrees, and the temperature of the back of the body was 41.2 degrees. It can be said that the scheduling of the "Geek Performance Panel 2.0" is still a bit useful, but the temperature control is more conservative, may be a scheduling problem, or the reason that the vegan leather material is more difficult to dissipate the heat, but at least it allows consumers to have one more option.

Dual flagship main camera, the image also has a surprise

Imaging is also one of the key enhancements of the GT5 Pro. First look at the main camera, equipped with Sony LYT-808 flagship sensor, with a 1/1.4-inch large base and f/1.69 large aperture, and flagship-level super light and shadow engine support, you can restore a more realistic light and shadow, better reproduction of the naked eye sense of view, the picture details can also be well preserved.

With the flagship main camera and telephoto lens, the Realme GT5 Pro's imaging hardware is already excellent, and the software also has industry-leading flagship imaging algorithms that further break through the image quality performance from the three dimensions of semantic perception, image quality enhancement, and computational photography, which makes the Realme GT5 Pro the best third-generation Snapdragon 8 phone in terms of telephoto.

Surprise is still in the experience

The biggest improvement in the experience of Realme GT5 Pro is the new palm print unlocking, together with the new AI gesture control, which brings a lot of new ways to play. After recording the palm print on the phone, put your palm close to the camera in the off-screen state, and then slowly pull it back, the phone can automatically recognise the palm print and unlock the screen. The same is true for the lock screen, the phone will automatically lock the screen after recognising the palm of the hand and slowly approaching the front lens.

AI gesture control is still very useful in some life scenarios. For example, when you wash your hands after just going to the toilet to brush the Jitterbug, but do not want to wet the phone screen, this time you can directly use the palm print to unlock the phone (wet hands can also be unlocked by the palm print), and then to the right hand gesture sliding desktop, single finger gesture cursor to the Jitterbug to stay in the jitterbug, into the jitterbug can be directly with the up and down gesture to switch the video, the whole process of the hand does not have to touch the mobile phone, I have to say that this interaction is still doing a good job. I have to say that this interaction is still doing well.

If you want more fancy ways to play, I've done it for you, for example, you can follow the blogger with an OK gesture when brushing Jitterbug, you can like it with a thumbs-up gesture, you can zoom in on the pictures in the photo albums with just two fingers open, and you can trigger the return operation by pointing your thumb to the right. ...... There are more new ways to play waiting for you to discover.

Lastly, the GT5 Pro is equipped with a 5400mAh battery, which gives you a sense of security when you look at it, and it can be used for a day under moderate use. The charging system is equipped with a 100W second charger and a 50W wireless flash charger. Measured in 5 minutes under wired charging, 26% of the battery can be charged, and the final charge to 100% in just over 26 minutes, which is still a very outstanding performance, and should be able to meet the needs of most friends.

Conclusion

The "Dual Engine Flagship" expressed by the GT5 Pro is the image configuration of the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform + dual flagship lenses, which can actually give a satisfactory answer in terms of both gaming performance and shooting experience. There is also a high-value exterior design, the new high-grade nano-skin and high-strength metal frame support, look and feel at the same time.
