On July 12, Realme will present a new flagship smartphone in the form of Realme GT2 Master Explorer Edition. Unlike its predecessor, the device actually sits above the regular GT2 series with improved specifications. This will be the premium flagship that Realme fans have always wanted. It will join the list of the first smartphones to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, and will also bring a unique design made in partnership with a famous artist. Now, it has also been confirmed that the device is The world’s first smartphone to use the LPDDR5X RAM standard.
You are probably familiar with the terms LPDDR4X and LPDDR5. The first is the predecessor of the vanilla LPDDR5, but the “X” means it’s an improvement over the old LPDDR4 standard. Now, the LPDDR5 standard that’s been in smartphones for years, has finally got a replacement inside LPDDR5X. It’s worth noting that LPDDR5X was announced a long time ago, but only now, are we seeing the first smartphone brand to adopt it. The new standard comes with higher speeds of up to 8.5 Gbps. For comparison, LPDDR5 “only” can handle 6.4 Gbps. Moreover, it is 20% more energy efficient. Samsung was the first to make this standard but has not yet fitted it to its smartphones. Now, Realme is taking the lead to become the world’s first with the Realme GT2 Master Explorer.
Realme GT2 Master Explorer Show in Detail
As usual, Realme is building the hype for the upcoming flagship. The company has confirmed through Weibo that the Realme GT2 Master Explorer will be the first with LPDDR5X RAM standard. Moreover, in two other posts, the company has confirmed that the Realme GT2 Master Explorer has a metal frame, a 10-bit AMOLED panel with HDR 10+ and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Interestingly, the phone will come with a central hole. This may not seem like a big deal, but Realme didn’t use this alignment for the flagship until the release of the Realme GT Neo3. Now, Realme GT2 Master Explorer is the first flagship that doesn’t have a hole punch in the top left.
The company brought more details to the screen. GT2 Master Explorer offers 16,000 levels of automatic brightness for an “eye-protection experience”. The front panel has an ultra-thin bezel at the bottom that is only 2.37mm. The GT2 Master Explorer is said to come in two versions with either 100W or 150W charging support.
