The Realme GT 2 is arguably the best new value flagship on the market, with a price-to-performance ratio that beats out the competition

Around 8 months ago, I reviewed the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/realme-gt-5g-review-flagship-killer-with-snapdragon-888-1630076689992" target="_blank">Realme GT</a>. It had killer looks, flagship specs, and a price tag that was all about value for money. So when Realme sent over their new GT 2, I thought--how can this be any better? Well, today I've got the phone with me and having spent over a week with it, I only have two words for it--underrated legend.
<h3>Design &amp; Display</h3>
Like the previous GT, Realme has made the GT 2 a real head-turner, and in this Paper White variant, it looks quite unique. It does share its design with the GT 2 Pro, including the signature of its designer, Naoto Fukasawa, who you might remember from our <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/realme-gt-master-edition-review-sd-778g-at-just-25-999-1629544120783" target="_blank">GT Master Edition</a> review as well. Anyway, this textured finish on the back isn't all just looks, it feels almost like paper, hence the Paper White name for the variant. It isn't actual paper, of course, it's biopolymer, that's been derived from renewable sources like paper pulp, and claims to reduce carbon emissions during manufacturing. That, I think, is a much better way of claiming to save the environment than let's say, not giving a charger in the box.
But, back to the phone for now, which is fairly lightweight considering its hardware, at 194.5g for this particular variant. It's also decently slim at 8.6mm and feels really nice to hold in the hand thanks to the textured back. I will say this though, that even though this white coloured phone didn't seem to pick up a whole lot of dirt and dust during my usage, I don't know how well it'll hold up in the long run, so if you want to protect it, you can use the high-quality phone case that Realme includes in the box.
In terms of display, the GT 2 has been upgraded with a 6.6-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED panel. It's got an FHD+ resolution with brilliant colours, good viewing angles and a super-smooth 120Hz high refresh rate. It offers a great experience whether you're watching content on OTT platforms or just scrolling apps endlessly, this display is an absolute joy to use. There is Widevine L1 certification for Netflix, but HDR is limited to apps like YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. The screen is completely flat, which I like, but the bezels aren't as skinny as the GT 2 Pro, with a slightly more pronounced chin. One-handed operation is just about manageable, but you will still have to shuffle your hand to reach higher parts of the screen.

<h3>Cameras</h3>
Now cameras have always been a bit of a weaker point on Realme phones, but the company has made some strides in improving that and it shows on this Realme GT 2. For instance, it sports a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor for high quality images and better colours than usual, and also features optical image stabilisation. The ultrawide lens remains the same as the previous model, though, with 119-degree field-of-view and an 8MP sensor. And, of course, no Realme smartphone would be complete without the dhaniya-mirchi 2MP macro sensor which unfortunately, feels out of place on a phone that's otherwise very capable.
Unsurprisingly, the main 50MP sensor is the highlight here, and takes good pictures in well-lit outdoor scenarios, and when you're in mixed lighting conditions, the HDR works pretty well too. Colours are sharp and punchy enough across the range, but not over-saturated. The sky in some images didn't look extremely accurate, but overall, image processing is a big step up from the Realme GT.
The 8MP ultrawide performs as expected, offering a wide field-of-view and colours that aren't too far off from the main sensor, which is appreciated. However, due to it's significantly lower resolution, there is a visible lack of detail. It's a similar story with the 2MP macro, which mostly offered inaccurate colours and pictures that weren't always the sharpest. Honestly, the main sensor packs enough pixels to use at 2X to get close up to objects, and I'd suggest using that instead.
In terms of low-light performance, the Realme GT 2 gave me good results, as long as I turned on the dedicated Night Mode. It still did a decent job without it, but turning it on just made things a bit sharper and better exposed light sources in the frame. I will admit, though, that the camera had a habit of picking up lens flare in low-light images with stray light sources, which I wasn't a fan of.
The Night Mode was even more helpful with ultrawide sensor, adding light, sharpness and colour to low-light ultrawide images.
When it comes to video, the GT 2 shoots at a maximum 4K at 60fps, but the EIS caused noticeable jitter in the frame at times. Auto-exposure also tends to be quite aggressive, sometimes causing a loss in colour accuracy.
In the hole-punch display lies the front facing camera with a 16MP sensor that captured good selfies in both indoor and outdoor scenarios. Skin tones were mostly accurate, there was more than enough detail for social media use and the edge detection in the portrait mode was also surprisingly accurate. It's worth noting that the front camera shoots videos at up to 1080p, and I would have liked to see a 4K option here.
<h3>Performance &amp; Software</h3>
Performance is perhaps one of the only areas on the Realme GT 2 where there hasn't been a massive upgrade because it runs on the Snapdragon 888 chipset, same as the GT 5G. It also gets up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM like the previous generation, along with up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Now that isn't to say I missed having a more powerful chipset, the 888 is a very capable flagship chipset that holds its own, and no matter what workload I put the GT 2 through, it performed without any issues. Day-to-day tasks, app-switching, and multi-tasking caused no stress to the phone, and even graphic intensive titles like Call of Duty Mobile ran optimally on the GT 2. Even gaming for extended periods of time didn't cause any major frame drops or lag, and the phone didn't really heat up to uncomfortable temperatures during my usage.
The smooth user experience is also helped by Android 12 and Realme UI 3.0. Apart from some bloatware which you can easily uninstall or disable, the software on this phone is great and snappy to use. UI animations are quick without stutter, buttons are the right size, and there's plenty of customisation options and handy features. I particularly liked Background Stream, which lets you run apps like YouTube in the background, without needing to buy YouTube Premium. Moreover, Realme has promised three years of major OS updates and up to five years of security updates to the Realme GT 2, which is really good to see.

<h3>Battery &amp; Utility</h3>
The Realme GT 2 has gotten a bump in battery size over the last generation, now sporting a bigger 5,000mAh battery unit. I mostly got a full day of battery life even with the 120Hz refresh rate and heavy usage patterns, and with moderate usage, you should be able to make it last even further. The battery still charges at the same fantastic 65 watts, and the included 65W adaptor should get you from flat to full in 35-40 minutes.
There is one omission compared to the GT 5G, which is the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack on the GT 2. To be completely honest, I'm not a stickler for high-fidelity audio and I've moved almost entirely to wireless audio, so it's not a huge deal-breaker for me, but still worth pointing out for those that care. There's also no microSD card expansion, just space enough for two nano SIM-cards, and while there's no official IP rating, there is a rubber gasket on the SIM tray which is reassuring.
Omissions aside, the Realme GT 2 does get a super-fast and accurate in-display fingerprint scanner along with loud stereo speakers, and there's several 5G bands for whenever the high speed network rolls out in India.
<h3>Price &amp; Verdict</h3>
So, I started this review by calling the Realme GT 2 an underrated legend, and if you take a look at everything the phone offers at its starting price of ₹34,999, it really lives up to the title. It offers more value-for-money than almost all of its competitors, including the likes of the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/oneplus-9rt-review-pretty-much-as-good-as-it-gets-1645174977117" target="_blank">One Plus 9RT</a>. It's packed with killer looks, a large battery, a vastly improved camera and all the performance you could need in 2022. Honestly? It doesn't get much better than this.

On April 25, the board of social media platform Twitter agreed to a $44 billion takeover offer from Elon Musk. But how did we get here? Let&rsquo;s take a quick look.
How Elon Musk acquired Twitter
Elon Musk had joked about buying Twitter as early as 2017, but things got serious in 2022. The world&rsquo;s richest man reportedly started buying twitter stock in January, and according to reports by AP, had consolidated a 5% stake in the company by March 14.
By April 4, Musk had taken a 9.2% stake in Twitter, worth around $2.9 billion, making him the single largest shareholder. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal then announced that Musk would be appointed to the company&rsquo;s board, an invite which Musk rejected.
Instead, on April 14, Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter outright, in an all-cash deal worth $43.4 billion.
Twitter was however, less effusive in its praise for Musk. Twitter went on the defensive, deploying a &lsquo;poison pill&rsquo; strategy, which would flood the market with newly created stock and make the takeover prohibitively expensive, even for the world&rsquo;s richest man.
On April 24, Twitter&rsquo;s board held discussions with Musk, wherein they seriously considered his offer. The discussions continued well into the next day, and the $44 billion deal was sealed on April 25.

Under Musk, what next for Twitter?
Once Elon Musk takes over as owner, things are set to change.
Twitter, which is currently a publicly listed company, will turn private, and stockholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share of Twitter common stock that they own.
Musk has, in the past, criticised Twitter for lacking features, which he may now work to add.
Among these has been the "edit Tweet" button, which Twitter users have long clamoured for. He has also called for the company&rsquo;s algorithm, which controls what content people see, to be made transparent and open source. He has also promised to &lsquo;defeat spam bots&rsquo;, authenticate all real human users, and combat cryptocurrency scams.
Elon Musk has regularly criticised Twitter for its alleged lack of adherence to free speech principles. In a statement announcing the deal, he refers to the platform as the &ldquo;the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated&rdquo;. He has tweeted saying that wants even his worst critics to remain on Twitter.
Who will lead Twitter now?
While it is not clear who will lead the social media giant moving forward, but it looks like the end of the road for CEO Parag Agrawal, who took over from co-founder and former boss Jack Dorsey last November. According to a report by research firm Equilar, Parag Agrawal will get paid $42mn is he's sacked as CEO within 12 months of being appointed.

Twitter takeover: Opinion divided
Former Twitter CEO and founder Jack Dorsey has expressed cautious enthusiasm over the takeover, saying that he trusts Elon Musk to &lsquo;extend the light of consciousness&rsquo;.
But opinion is clearly divided.
Musk's fellow space enthusiast &amp; Amazon founder Jeff Bezos couldn't let the opportunity slide. He chimed in, flagging a post by a New York Times reporter who pointed to connections between Tesla and the Chinese government.
Many are not enthusiastic about Twitter&rsquo;s content moderation policy being under Musk's control, who calls himself a &lsquo;free speech absolutist&rsquo;.
Human rights organisation Amnesty International has expressed concern with any steps that Twitter might take to erode enforcement of the policies and mechanisms designed to protect users.
Some users have already threatened to quit the platform, among them British actor Jameela Jamil, who says she fears the new focus on free speech would help Twitter reach its &lsquo;final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny&rsquo;.
However, Republicans in the United States are already calling for former President Donald Trump be reinstated on the platform.
Elon Musk has, in the past, said that he would prefer &lsquo;timeouts&rsquo; over permanent bans as punitive measures for those who violate Twitter&rsquo;s policies.
Trump, on his part, has said he will not return to Twitter

Twitter users, on the other hand, are wasting no time in mining the whole situation for meme gold.
Some suggested that Musk could have just downloaded Twitter for free off the app store, instead of buying it for $44 billion, while others posted about Elon finally setting the caged bird free.
Many have pointed out Musk&rsquo;s free-wheeling approach to posting on his own Twitter profile, where he has been known to post irreverent memes, the latest comparing Bill Gates to the pregnancy emoji.
Whatever one may feel about Elon Musk&rsquo;s takeover of Twitter, one thing is for sure: the winds of change are afoot for one of the world&rsquo;s largest social networks.

Vivo's&nbsp;X80 Pro promises to offer flagship performance, killer looks and a camera system to beat them all

Tech reviewers and content creators in general love saying that you don&rsquo;t need expensive camera equipment to make great videos, and that any smartphone with a good enough camera can get the job done. But as someone who uses high-end camera equipment to shoot videos for a living, I feel there&rsquo;s a lot of limitations that come with a mobile-only rig. So, why am I saying all this before I head into a smartphone review? Well, that&rsquo;s because what I have with me today is no ordinary device. It&rsquo;s the latest <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/mobiles/vivo-x80-vivo-x80-pro-smartphones-launched-in-india-check-price-specs-1652873249039" target="_blank">Vivo X80 Pro</a> flagship, that gets a huge list of features to help mobile content creators, and in my eyes, this is the only smartphone with the chops to take on the real thing.
<h3>Design &amp; Utility</h3>
Vivo is a brand that always cares about making a unique-looking device, and with the X80 Pro, they&rsquo;ve really tried to set it apart. There&rsquo;s a huge camera module at the back, which honestly takes up over one-third of the phone. The <a href="https://www.editorji.com/tech-news/gadget-review/vivo-x70-pro-review-more-than-just-a-camera-phone-1634912296434" target="_blank">X70 Pro+</a> had something similar, but the way the camera array has been laid out is different on the X80 Pro. There&rsquo;re three sensors inside the circular hub, but there&rsquo;s also a sensor outside it at the bottom, which does look asymmetrical.

Apart from the entire camera situation, though, the design on the X80 Pro is pretty similar to the previous generation, especially in this Cosmic Black colour variant. There&rsquo;s still a super-slippery matte finish on the back which won&rsquo;t attract fingerprints but will require you to use a cover to get some grip. Luckily, Vivo includes this slick bumper case in the box itself that sports a leather-like finish, and during my usage, it provided good enough protection and grip.
The phone sports a curved screen with a centrally aligned hole punch, and a flat bottom and top. The bottom holds the SIM-tray with space for two nano-SIM cards, along with a Type-C Port and the speaker grille, which coupled with the earpiece, makes for a great stereo setup. On the top of the phone is Vivo&rsquo;s &lsquo;Professional Photography&rsquo; branding, and an Infrared Blaster to control compatible household devices.
The left side is completely empty, and both the power button and volume controls are on the right side of the phone. They&rsquo;re not placed all that high, so they&rsquo;re easy enough to reach without having to shuffle your hand too much.
Also within easy reach of your thumb is the fingerprint scanner, which uses ultrasonic technology for a super-fast setup process and quick, accurate unlocking. You can also change how large you want the unlocking area to be and change its shape, that makes getting in to the phone even easier.
Another great upgrade to the X80 Pro is the new X-Axis Linear Motor for haptics, which makes device interactions like typing feel a lot more precise than before.
The Vivo X80 Pro also gets an IP68 rating to protect against dust and water, which is great to see.
<h3>Cameras</h3>
Now, I&rsquo;m going to get this out right away&mdash;the Vivo X80 Pro gets possibly the most capable camera system on any smartphone out there right now, period.
Whether it&rsquo;s photos or videos, daylight or low-light, portraits or pretty much anything else, the X80 Pro is built to perform.
In terms of hardware, it&rsquo;s packing in a new 50MP primary camera with the Samsung GNV sensor, that Vivo has been said is customised to work well with this phone. Along with that, there&rsquo;s a 12MP 2x Portrait camera with the Sony IMX663 sensor, which now gets mounted on a gimbal. Then there&rsquo;s the 48MP Ultrawide camera which houses the Sony IMX598 sensor, but no gimbal this time. Last, but not least, is the 8MP 5x Periscope camera with optical image stabilisation.
Now this entire system is optimised with the help of camera legend Zeiss, and that&rsquo;s evident with all the Zeiss branding at the back. That T* logo also indicates that the lenses have a special coating with reduces lens flare and refractions when shooting light sources directly.
Now all this means that no matter what the situation, you&rsquo;re bound to get a brilliant result with the X80 Pro.
In well-lit outdoor scenarios, there&rsquo;s a good amount of detail, colours are accurate, and HDR is very well balanced. The high-resolution sensor also makes for good depth of field when closer to objects, without the need for the portrait mode.
In mixed/indoor lighting, the sensor again produced good results with punchy contrast, but well-balanced shadows and highlights.
In low-light situations, pictures overall were very good, and whether I had the night mode on or off, it didn&rsquo;t seem to make too much of a difference. However, it was the one place where I noticed a bit of inconsistency with the camera system, because in some images, the Night Mode produced results with these odd patches in the frame.
It&rsquo;s a similar story with the 2x portrait sensor. Shots in good-to-moderate lighting come out very well, with good edge detection on subjects and a very natural looking depth of field. However, the image processing did cause this whitish effect on faces at times, when dealing with mixed lighting conditions.
With the ultrawide sensor, the X80 Pro produced slightly less consistent results than expected. I mean, sure the images are sharp and full of detail, but on the whole, there was a significant difference between shots taken with the ultrawide sensor vs shots taken with the primary sensor.
Now, it&rsquo;s worth mentioning at this point that the reason I call this one of the most capable camera systems ever is just due to the sheer number of features, functions and filters packed into the default camera app.
I mean, you have customised Styles for Portrait images, including ones calibrated by Zeiss, that make background bokeh look quite unique and gives images a cinematic look. You also have the option to take portrait images at 5x zoom with the periscope lens which takes crisp, clear shots thanks to optical image stabilisation.
When it comes to video, you have even more things to play around with. For instance, I really enjoyed using the Portrait Video Bokeh mode, which uses Zeiss calibration to create a cinematic widescreen format with real-time background blur. You can use this effect without the Zeiss filter as well, and subject separation can at times be a bit hit and miss, but the fact that you can shoot already colour-graded footage right out of the phone is impressive, and very useful to someone trying to be a mobile content creator. You can also shoot at very high resolutions and frame rates&mdash;a maximum 8K at 30fps, and 4K goes all the way to 60fps.
When it comes to the front-facing 32MP camera, results are again really good. Selfies taken in outdoor shots retain a lot of detail, produce accurate skin tones, and don&rsquo;t do a whole lot of aggressive skin smoothing if you turn those default options off. Even in low-light situations, there&rsquo;s ample detail and pictures look pretty good. The portrait selfie mode also does a good job of edge detection, while keeping the face in sharp focus.
To add to all this, image and video processing on the X80 Pro is helped by the dedicated Vivo V1+ chip. It reduces noise in the frame, uses AI to analyse what scene is being shot at any given moment, and can quickly manage HDR on the fly to get the best results possible, even in low-light videos. That&rsquo;s a workflow smartphone cameras usually struggle with, but the X80 Pro honestly produced much better results than I expected.
Apart from this you also get the previously seen 360-degree horizon level stabilisation feature, special time-lapse modes, astrophotography mode, cinematic movie LUTs for videos shot in the camera app, XDR photo, Camera panning, and the list just goes on and on and on. If I were to sit down and describe each feature the X80 Pro camera app gets, we&rsquo;d be here forever, so I&rsquo;ll just drive home my original point&mdash;this is possibly the most comprehensive and capable camera system you&rsquo;ll get on any smartphone in the world, and if you&rsquo;re looking to become a mobile content creator, this should seriously be on your list.
If I had but one complaint, it would be that the front facing camera doesn&rsquo;t support 4K video recording, which to me is a sin for a phone that could otherwise be the perfect vlogging companion.

<h3>Display</h3>
In terms of display, the X80 Pro is exceptional. It sports a 6.78-inch 2K resolution E5 AMOLED display made by Samsung, which arguably one of the best phone screens in the entire industry right now. It supports a max resolution of 3200*1440 pixels, and a 517 PPI pixel density means that no matter how close you try and look, everything is crystal clear and super sharp. It goes without saying, that the content-viewing experience on the X80 Pro is possibly the best in the business, which punchy colours, great contrast levels and a large surface area to make for a good, mobile cinema. It&rsquo;s gotten an A+ rating from DisplayMate, and that&rsquo;s something you can take to the bank when it comes to display quality. The screen also gets bright at a maximum 500 nits for indoor settings, a strong 1,000 nits in direct sunlight, and up to 1,500 nits when viewing HDR content. In simple terms, the display will get as bright as you need it to be depending on the situation.
Apart from this, the X80 Pro&rsquo;s screen comes with the latest LTPO 3.0 technology, which means it has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz but can also go as low as 1Hz should the need arise. It doesn&rsquo;t go all the way down to 1Hz in regular indoor usage, and I found that only if I was in direct sunlight with the display near full brightness did the refresh rate ramp down below 10Hz, which is interesting to see. Either way, LTPO 3.0 means buttery smooth animations and a very fast and fluid user experience, along with slightly better battery life for that high resolution screen.
It&rsquo;s worth noting that the X80 Pro obviously gets Widevine L1 certification for apps like Netflix, but it also supports HDR 10 - HEVC, which is great for when you want to watch HDR content on the device.
<h3>Battery</h3>
The X80 Pro comes with a lot of features and functions, which require a battery that can provide enough juice, which is why Vivo has bumped up the battery size to 4,700mAh this time.
I ran a few battery tests in the time I had with the X80 Pro, keeping the refresh rate set to auto, and only changing the screen resolution.
With the display set to its maximum 2K resolution, I went through multiple gaming sessions, lots of content watching, and a good bit of camera usage. This gave me an overall screen-on time of around 4 hours.
With a similar usage pattern but a lowered 2400*1080 screen resolution, I got around 5 and a half hours of screen-on time.
When I reduced both the screen resolution and restricted my usage to a bit of camera usage and content watching, I was able to pull out around 6 hours of screen on time, which is quite respectable.
Another great upgrade Vivo has brought with the X80 Pro is faster charging than the X70 Pro+. Instead of 55W, you get an 80W charging adaptor in the box that Vivo claims charges the phone from flat to full in 35 minutes, but in my testing, it took a bit longer than that. The X80 Pro also supports 50W wireless fast charging, but for that, you&rsquo;re going to have to rely on a Vivo-branded unit that you can purchase separately.
<h3>Performance &amp; Software</h3>
Under the hood, the X80 Pro gets yet another major upgrade in terms of chipset performance, because it packs in Qualcomm&rsquo;s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. It&rsquo;s arguably the best chipset on the market currently but does tend to have some issues with heating. To that end, Vivo has fitted the X80 Pro with a larger liquid cooling Vapour Chamber for better heat dissipation.
During a few extended gaming sessions, I did notice the phone heating up, but only very mildly, and clearly, Vivo&rsquo;s solution has worked quite well.
In terms of benchmarks, I ran the X80 Pro through Geekbench, 3D Mark and CPU Throttle to test its outright performance.
On the Geekbench CPU test, it achieved a Single-core score of 1240 and a Multi-core score of 3571. On the Geekbench compute test, it scored 5864.
On 3D Marks Wild Life Stress test, it throttled pretty soon, but still managed to maintain 80.2% stability which is impressive for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
In a 20-minute 35-thread CPU Throttle test, the phone bumped down its performance quite quickly, but then maintained it steadily for the remainder of the test, which is good to see.
In real-world terms though, there&rsquo;s almost nothing this phone can&rsquo;t handle. Whether it was the newly released Apex Legends or the good old Call of Duty: Mobile, the X80 Pro ran smooth for multiple games without any sort of lag or dropped frames.
Thanks to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, multi-tasking was great too, and the phone never really needed to reload apps running in the background.
When it comes to software, the X80 Pro runs on Android 12 out of the box with Vivo&rsquo;s Funtouch OS skin on top. It seems with each iteration, Funtouch OS seems to get a little bit slicker, and on this phone it&rsquo;s really quite smooth. There&rsquo;s also a decent focus on privacy, with features like a Privacy Dashboard, microphone and camera usage icons and selection for approximate and precise location for apps that ask for it.
I&rsquo;ll admit there&rsquo;s way more bloatware on the X80 Pro than I would have liked, but it&rsquo;s something I expected. It&rsquo;s not great to see so many pre-installed apps on a phone at this price point, but thankfully, a lot of them can be uninstalled.
That being said, there&rsquo;s good news in terms of longevity. Vivo has promised three years of assured major Android OS updates, along with three years of assured security updates as well.
<h3>Verdict</h3>
So, I began this review by saying that the X80 Pro is possibly the best camera smartphone money can buy right now, and I&rsquo;m going to end by saying that too. Even if you keep its stellar camera chops aside, it&rsquo;s a very capable and well-rounded phone, and for its asking price of ₹79,999, this is definitely a flagship that should keep Samsung and Apple on their tippy toes.
