Editorial report

Realme GT Master Explore Edition 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The Realme GT Master Explore Edition suits buyers looking for a standout display and versatile camera hardware, but this China version has no Google Services. Its 6.55″ AMOLED display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate with 409 ppi and an 89% screen-to-body ratio; those specifications are among the best of its time. Peak display brightness is listed at 1,100 nits.

The 50 MP camera uses a 1/1.56″ sensor and optical image stabilization, specifications that also rank among the best of its time. There is also a 16 MP ultrawide camera and 4K video recording. The Snapdragon 870 scores 812,901 in AnTuTu v10, better than most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is among the best of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and dual Nano-SIM support.

This configuration has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 12 GB / 256 GB. The lack of Google Services matters for anyone who relies on Google apps. Its battery has a capacity of 4,500 mAh. The overall NeoScore is 6.6, better than most phones of its time. That makes it a particularly compelling choice for its display and camera specifications, provided the absence of Google Services fits the buyer’s needs.
