The Realme GT line excels at providing high-end options for a fraction of the worth. These telephones do that so effectively that they’re generally contenders for our greatest Android telephones and even greatest telephones lists, so we’re trying ahead to the Realme GT 3.

We would not have to attend lengthy both, as this power-packed handset may land in early 2023. Beneath we’ll look in additional element on the seemingly launch date and the attainable value, together with what little we’ve heard about its specs and options.

As quickly as we hear extra, we’ll add it to this text, however within the meantime you’ll additionally discover a record of the issues we most need from the Realme GT 3.

Reduce to the chase

• What’s it? The following highly effective mid-ranger from Realme
• When is it out? In all probability early 2023
• How a lot will it price? Count on a mid-range value

Realme GT 3: launch date and value

We don’t know when the Realme GT Three will launch however early 2023 appears to be like seemingly, provided that the Realme GT 2 was introduced in January 2022, and the unique Realme GT landed in March 2021.

Given that almost all telephones launch round a yr after their predecessors, our greatest guess then is January 2023, however someday within the first few months of the yr appears very seemingly anyway.

We don’t but know what the Realme GT Three will price both, however the Realme GT 2 began at £499 (round $660, AU$885), so an identical value is feasible.

However as you’ll collect from the worth conversions there, the earlier mannequin wasn’t out there in all places, so whereas the Realme GT 3 – and any siblings just like the Realme GT Three Professional – will in all probability land within the UK, we’re much less positive about different areas.

Realme GT 3: information and leaks

There’s not a lot in the way in which of Realme GT Three information but, however the Snapdragon eight Gen 2 has been introduced, and whereas Realme hasn’t confirmed that it is going to be utilizing this chipset in upcoming telephones, it’s prone to, because the Realme GT 2 Professional used the Snapdragon eight Gen 1, a yr prior.

So we’d assume there’s a excessive likelihood that the Realme GT Three Professional will use the Snapdragon eight Gen 2, although based mostly on previous type, the usual Realme GT Three is perhaps caught with an older chipset – maybe the eight Gen 1 or eight Plus Gen 1.

The brand new Gen 2 is prone to be essentially the most highly effective chipset we see in Android telephones throughout no less than the primary half of 2023, so the Realme GT Three Professional shall be no slouch if it does use this silicon.

What we wish to see

As nice because the Realme GT 2 is – reaching 4.5 stars in our evaluate – there’s at all times room for enchancment, so with the Realme GT Three we wish to see the next issues.

1. Higher secondary cameras

The Realme GT 2’s principal digital camera is nice, however we discovered the ultra-wide middling and the macro to be outright dangerous, so there’s undoubtedly room for enchancment right here on the Realme GT 3.

We’d prefer to see actual enhancements to the ultra-wide digital camera, and ideally for the macro snapper to both get replaced with a telephoto or simply eliminated altogether, so Realme can give attention to delivering two actually good cameras.

2. Extra polished software program

Whereas the interface on the Realme GT 2 is usually each clear and customizable, it’s not fairly as polished as we’d like, and suffered from quite a few bugs throughout our evaluate.

This lack of consideration to element was disappointing, and whereas enhancements could have been made since launch, we’d prefer to see a elegant, bug-free interface from day one on the Realme GT 3.

3. Improved battery life

The Realme GT 2 doesn’t have horrible battery life however neither is it nice, particularly when utilizing a 120Hz refresh charge – which you’ll seemingly wish to do in the event you’ve spent the cash on a telephone that has this function.

So we’d prefer to see enhancements there for the Realme GT 3. The excellent news is which may simply be achievable, as a result of at 4,500mAh, the Realme GT 2’s battery isn’t large, so there needs to be area for an even bigger one within the subsequent mannequin.

4. Wi-fi charging

Whereas the Realme GT 2 costs at a decent 65W when plugged in, it doesn’t cost in any respect wirelessly, which is a disgrace for a telephone that has quite a few different high-end specs and options.

This omission might be one of many methods during which Realme stored the associated fee down, and the comparatively inexpensive value is among the GT 2’s principal promoting factors, so we’d prefer to see that proceed. But when it’s in any respect attainable to additionally add wi-fi charging to the Realme GT 3, then we’d like that as effectively.

5. Water resistance

One other seemingly cost-cutting measure comes within the absence of a water resistance score on the Realme GT 2, however whereas this isn’t a brilliant costly telephone, it’s nonetheless expensive sufficient that we’d prefer to be assured it could actually survive a splash.

So hopefully the Realme GT Three could have water resistance, particularly as that’s now a reasonably widespread function in mid-range-and-above telephones. It’s definitely a function that will assist the Realme GT Three stand out from its predecessors and rank among the many greatest Realme telephones.
