Samsung's&nbsp;Galaxy A73 5G is the most premium A-series from the brand this year, but does it make good on that promise?

The new Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is the most premium device in the brand's A-series line-up this year, and promises to offer a great experience overall, which is what we're going to put to the test.
<h3>Design &amp; Display</h3>
The Galaxy A73 is really well designed, and it looks modern and minimal. The colour I've got with me is the 'Awesome Mint' variant and I have to say, it's really pretty! The back is finished in matte, so it doesn't really pick up fingerprints at all, but it is made of plastic. Speaking of plastic, the frame of the A73 is not metal, even if it's been polished to make it look that way. I do like that Samsung has done this, though, because it gives the phone a striking similarity to the S22 and S22+. Weight-wise, the A73 is just a shade over 180g, making it quite lightweight despite its big size.
The front of the Galaxy A73 gets this big and beautiful 6.7-inch display with a full-HD+ resolution and a buttery smooth 120Hz high refresh rate. In true Samsung fashion, colours are rich and punchy, and using this phone for watching content is a treat. Adding to that experience is Widevine L1 certification and&nbsp;HDR 10 support for Netflix.
It's worth noting that the 120Hz refresh rate is not adaptive, and the A73's display features Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
<h3>Cameras</h3>
Samsung's phones at nearly every price-point are known for their great camera performance, and to help keep that reputation intact, Samsung fitted the A73 with a quad camera system on the back. There's a 108MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and two 5MP sensors--one for depth and one for macro shots.

In well-lit, outdoor scenarios, the main sensor performed quite well, and I was somewhat surprised to see that Samsung had toned down the over-processed, saturated look that's usually seen on its A-series devices. Colours were quite well preserved, and there was good dynamic range in shots that required it. Being such a high resolution sensor, there was quite a lot of natural depth of field when shooting objects, although I noticed a tearing effect around the edges of the frame at times. Shots taken indoors with mixed lighting conditions were pretty good too, but the camera had a tendency to pick up noise in the darker areas of the frame.
With the ultrawide lens, there was a bit of colour shift in some images compared to the main sensor, but on the whole, the processing was pretty uniform. The field-of-view is quite wide though, so you will notice the phone doing some heavy lifting when it comes to correcting distortion in the frame.
The 5MP depth sensor helped with portrait images, and with good lighting, I got fairly good results. Colour accuracy was mostly on point, and edge detection for such a wide frame was also pretty decent.
The 5MP macro sensor, on the other hand, produced some mixed results. In some close-ups, colours were close to what they looked like in real life, but at times, there was a visible lack of accuracy and detail in the image.
So in terms of overall versatility, the A73 is quite sorted, but I do wish there was a dedicated telephoto lens here like we saw on the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/samsung-galaxy-a52-galaxy-a72-review-what-makes-them-awesome-1617719130317" target="_blank">Samsung&nbsp;Galaxy A72</a>.
When it comes to videos, the A73 shoots at a maximum of 4K 30fps, but for smoother, 60fps filming, you'll have to bump down the resolution to 1080p. It's still good to see that there's optical image stabilisation here though, and there's also an ultra-steady mode to get even more stable footage.
The front 32MP selfie sensor performed really quite well in decently-lit environments, with good detail reproduction and natural skin tones. The portrait mode also showed accurate edge detection and offered pleasing results. It's worth noting that videos with the front camera can be taken at the same resolution and frame rate as the back--4K at 30fps.

<h3>Performance &amp; Software</h3>
Now performance is a bit of an interesting area for the Galaxy A73, because despite being at a value flagship price point, it sports the Snapdragon 778G chipset, and while it is quite a capable performer, it's usually seen on mid-range phones. It's present on phones that are nearly half the price, in some cases, which makes it a bit of an odd choice for the A73. Still, for day-to-day tasks, performance from this chipset is great, and at no point did I feel that the phone was sluggish or struggling to keep up.
Even when playing graphic intensive games like Call of Duty: Mobile, I was able to max out the settings and play comfortably for long sessions without performance taking a hit or thermal throttling being an issue. There's 8GB RAM on tap, no matter what storage variant you buy, so switching through apps idling in the background wasn't a problem either.
Speaking of usage, the user experience on the A73 is excellent, thanks to Android 12 and One UI 4.1 on top, with all of Samsung's customisation options and extra tools. I particularly enjoyed loading up the Good Lock app for the One Handed+ feature, because of how large this phone is. In addition to this, Samsung has also promised 4 years of Android OS updates to the A73 and 5 years of security updates, making it about as future-proof you can in the Android world.
<h3>Battery &amp; Utility</h3>
Now I said earlier that the 120Hz refresh rate on the A73 is not adaptive and eats into battery life, so it's good that Samsung has fitted the phone with a 5,000mAh battery. With moderate usage patterns, I got well over a day's worth of usage, and even with heavy workloads, I wasn't able to kill it in the span of a single day.
Charging also seemed to be pretty well optimised, because 25W fast charging on the A73 took the phone from flat to full in around 80 minutes, which sounds like a lot, but it's also a massive battery unit. Still, it's not all good news here, because like with other A-series devices, there's no charging adaptor in the box, only a Type-C to Type-C cable. So if you want to take advantage of that faster charging, you're going to have to spend Rs. 1,299 buying the adaptor from Samsung.

Another important exclusion is the lack of a headphone jack this time, a blow that is somewhat cushioned by the fact that the stereo speakers are really loud and clear on the A73. There's also an in-display fingerprint scanner that worked well for me, and there's space for microSD card expansion, although it does come at the cost of a second SIM-card since the tray is a hybrid one. Still, it's better than not getting expandable storage at all. You also get an IP67 rating for the A73, which is something other phones at this price and higher tend to miss out on, so I'm glad Samsung is offering it here.
<h3>Price &amp; Verdict</h3>
At a starting price of ₹41,999, I'd be lying if I said the A73 wasn't an expensive phone--it is. And while the chipset is competent enough, it could have been more powerful at this price point. But if you're not someone that needs a super powerful processor, but does need the complete Samsung experience, many years of Android updates, a large battery and a big, beautiful screen, there's only one phone that does all that--the A73.

The Oppo Enco Air2 Pro are the latest true wireless earbuds from the brand that offer active noise cancellation on a budget. Check them out in our full review!

Oppo&nbsp;Enco Air2 Pro earbuds are the latest to offer active noise cancellation technology in the true wireless form-factor, at an affordable price point.

As a brand, Oppo has a pretty good track record when it comes to TWS earbuds. Their <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/oppo-enco-buds-review-best-tws-for-first-time-buyers-1631613494717" target="_blank">Enco Buds</a> offered solid sound on a budget, and the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/oppo-enco-x-tws-review-best-anc-earbuds-under-10k-1611037539098" target="_blank">Enco X</a> were one of my favourite pairs of ANC earbuds last year. But now, they've launched something new--these are the Enco Air2 Pro, so are they the best next TWS earbuds from Oppo?
<h3>Fit &amp; Comfort</h3>
The Enco Air2 Pro sit fairly shallow in the ears, and didn't seem to go as deep as most in-ear buds. They still provide a good passive seal and drown out a fair bit of ambient noise, even without active noise cancellation.
The default eartips were a little tight in my ears, so I was glad that Oppo includes a couple of different sizes in the box to get a better fit.
For the most part, the earbuds sat quite comfortably in my ears despite long hours of usage, probably because each earbud weighs next to nothing at 4.3g. They also didn't come loose in my ears at any point, even when I used them during a workout.
<h3>Design &amp; Utility</h3>
The Oppo Enco Air2 Pro earbuds are designed quite simply, with long stalks and a round head for the drivers. They also get an IP54 dust and water resistance rating, which is good to see at this price point.
The stalks of the earbuds feature touch controls, that are triggered quite easily with just a tap. You can use them to change the music, control a voice assistant and enable the game mode.
You also get in-ear detection, which pauses playback when you remove an earbud and resumes when you pop it back in.
The charging case for the Enco Air 2 Pros is quite simple, like the earbuds themselves, but there's a translucent top on the lid that looks quite cool. Moreover, the case has been designed in a way that exposes more of the earbuds, making it easier to take them out of the case. The case is also pretty lightweight at just 42.8g, and it features a USB-C port at the back. There's no wireless charging though, which is worth pointing out.
Speaking of notable exclusions, there's also no Google Fast Pair here, but they are compatible with Instant connection to Oppo phones, and show up with this nice animation.

<h3>Sound Quality</h3>
When it comes to sound quality, the Air2 Pro earbuds are quite decent. Thanks to 12.4mm dynamic drivers, they get fairly loud, and the sound signature is pretty balanced. The earbuds aren't bass heavy, and seem to be tuned to a more natural sound profile, with clear mids and balanced highs.
Apart from this though, you can tune the sound profile using presets but I'll explain more of that later when I discuss the partner app for these earbuds.
In terms of codec support, there's only SBC and AAC codecs supported, and no LDAC or Qualcomm's AptX.
<h3>Active Noise Cancellation &amp; Call Quality</h3>
Active noise cancellation on the Enco Air2 Pro is better than I expected. It managed to drown out most ambient noise in an office setting like a noisy air-conditioner and people typing on a keyboard, but sudden, loud noises did make it through.
You can use the touch controls on the earbuds to cycle between active noise cancellation and transparency mode, in case you're in public and want to keep an ear out for announcements or traffic. I will admit though, that the transparency mode here does sound piped in and not as natural as I've heard on a pair of true wireless earbuds.
The Enco Air2 Pro earbuds really impressed me in terms of call quality, and offered good reception on both ends of the call. Thanks to dual-mic AI noise cancellation, everyone I spoke to using the earbuds said they could hear me clearly in moderately noisy environments.

<h3>Gaming &amp; Transmission Lag</h3>
So, the Oppo Enco Air2 Pro earbuds support low-latency playback for gaming, which can be enabled on Oppo smartphones that run on ColorOS 11.0 and higher, and on other smartphones using the Hey Melody app. Latency goes as low as 94ms, and while playing games like Call of Duty: Mobile, I noticed very little transmission lag. I was very impressed by how in sync everything sounded, but of course, if you're a hard-core mobile gamer, you may want to opt for a wired connection.
Thanks to Bluetooth v5.2, there were no issues in transmission while watching movies and TV shows, and connection quality was strong with no skipping during music playback.
<h3>Battery Life</h3>
When it comes to battery life, the Oppo Enco Air2 Pro claim to offer up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge, and up to 28 hours with the charging case. In my usage, I got around 5-6 hours with the active noise cancellation turned on, which is impressive, and Oppo has included support for fast charging, that gets you up to 2 hours' worth of battery life in just ten minutes of charging.
<h3>App Support - Hey Melody App</h3>
In terms of app support, the Oppo Enco Air2 Pro aren't ready just yet. I'm reviewing a pre-launch product, which means Oppo hasn't configured its partner Hey Melody app to be compatible with these earbuds just yet. This means that so far, if I've wanted to use more than the default touch controls or tune the sound profile, I've had to use an Oppo phone.
Oppo has said that support for the Enco Air2 Pro will be rolling out to Android devices by the time you see this review, with iOS support also on the way. Currently, you'll have to rely on an Oppo phone running ColorOS 11.0 or higher to modify the touch controls, update the firmware and change equaliser presets.

<h3>Price &amp; Verdict</h3>

Oppo's new F21 Pro is the brand's latest attempt at making mid-range phones interesting again, in a way that no one else is doing.

This is the Oppo F21 Pro. It's Oppo's latest attempt at making mid-range phones interesting again, in a way that no one else is doing. What do I mean by that? Well, let's just say that with this phone, it's all about attention to detail.
<h3>Design and Display</h3>
Oppo always focuses on design, so let's begin there for the F21 Pro. I've received the Black colour variant of the phone, that features a really nice matte textured back and completely flat finish. In fact, it's so flat, that this is probably the first phone I've ever used that flatter on the back than it is on the front, which took a bit of getting used to , with regards to in-hand feel. It lends a very premium look to the device, and I appreciate Oppo not skimping out in this respect, like a lot of other brands tend to do at this price point.

Flip the phone around and you'll see its large 6.43-inch AMOLED 90Hz display. Colour levels are punchy and made for a good viewing experience across different content consumption apps. The display get adequately bright indoors, but if you're using it in direct sunlight, it's not the best in the business. Still, it comes with Gorilla Glass 5 protection which is good to see. The 90Hz refresh rate also isn't the fastest we've seen in the segment, but it provided a smooth enough user experience.
<h3>Cameras</h3>
Now the reason I was cryptic in my introduction of the F21 Pro is because it has a major trick hidden up it's sleeve. It gets a 64MP primary sensor, along with a 2MP depth sensor, both of which are fairly standard in this price range. What isn't standard is this third 2MP micro-lens. What it essentially let's you do is get really up close and personal with objects and get microscope-like results, something that barely a few phones in the world can do, one of them being Oppo's own flagship Find X3 Pro. To show you what I mean, here's some side-by-side examples of objects I shot using this crazy lens. Safe to say, the F21 Pro encourages you to be more creative, but does leave you wanting a bit more for versatility, especially since there's no ultrawide lens here.
That aside, images captured with the main sensor came out decently, with nice colours and ample detail. HDR was a bit overdone in some outdoor shots though, and image processing wasn't always consistent. Indoor shots were slightly better balanced in terms of dynamic range, and managed highlights and shadows well enough. Portrait images lacked colour accuracy in certain shots but offered respectable edge detection thanks to the dedicated sensor. There's also nifty presets like the Bokeh Flair Portrait to make portrait shots look more dynamic.

It's worth mentioning at this point that there's no optical image stabilisation here, which did make taking stable and steady night shots a bit harder.
On the front, there's a 32MP Sony IMX709 RGBW sensor which Oppo claims is able to capture 60% more light than standard RGGB sensors. It does a good enough job with HDR and colour accuracy. The portrait mode also works quite well, and the front fill light feature makes low-light selfie much easier to take.
<h3>Performance &amp; Software</h3>
Now the Oppo F21 Pro comes fitted with a Snapdragon 680 4G chipset, that offers just about enough power for day-to-day tasks and medium to low graphic settings gameplay on COD mobile. It's not a powerhouse, but for basic smartphone operations, it should do just fine. That being said, this chipset at this price point is a bit of a confusing choice. Manufacturers launching phones in this segment usually either go for less powerful 5G chipsets or more powerful 4G processors, but Oppo seems to have done neither of the two. I'm presuming that the ongoing chip shortage and the inclusion of other higher-end features like the micro-lens camera and premium design meant that Oppo had to make a trade-off in the chipset department. There's 128GB of internal storage on this device I've got, which is expandable. Plus, there's 8GB of RAM with support for 5GB worth of RAM expansion.
On the software front, the F21 Pro ships with Android 12 and Oppo's ColorOS 12.1, so you get a nice and simple interface with large, minimal buttons and plenty of customisation options for the user interface.
There are quite a few pre-loaded apps here, which isn't all that surprising at this price point, but I still don't love it.
However, I do love that Oppo is promising two years of Android updates to the F21 Pro, and four years of security updates, which means good things for longevity.

<h3>Battery and Utility</h3>
Battery life on the Oppo F21 Pro is not too shabby thanks to its 4,500mAh unit, and gave me over a day's usage even with moderate to heavy usage patterns. Charging is not the slowest but also not the fastest with the included 33W charging adapter, and it took around 70 minutes for the phone to go from flat to full.
In terms of utility, the F21 Pro is fully loaded--there's a 3.5mm headphone jack, an in-display fingerprint scanner and a full-size SIM tray with space for two nano SIM cards and a microSD card. It even gets an IPX4 rating for splash resistance, which is good to see in this price segment.
<h3>Verdict</h3>
Considering its price point, the F21 Pro is fairly well equipped, and the user experience is bolstered by Oppo's promise of 2 future Android OS updates. Add to that its cool micro-lens camera and premium-looking design, and the F21 Pro shapes up to be a pretty well-rounded package.

Oppo Watch Free Review: track your naps and more!

Oppo Watch Free comes in at ₹5,999 with a big list of features, but is it the one to get? Find out in our review.

This is the Oppo Watch Free, and while it has "Watch" in the name, it's more like a fitness band that comes with a larger than average screen and offers plenty of smart features&nbsp;at a price of ₹5,999.
<h2>Design &amp; Display</h2>
The Oppo Watch Free is only available in one colour--Black, which makes it look pretty simple and similar to most other fitness bands out there. Build quality is solid, and the materials used for the strap are also soft to the touch and quite flexible.&nbsp;
The display unit is encased in a matte finish housing, and if you flip it over, you'll see the various sensors for measuring things like heart rate and blood oxygen levels, along with the pins for charging the device.
The Oppo Watch Free is 5ATM Water-proof, which means it can be taken to a swimming pool without an issue. It's also really lightweight, measuring in at around 33g, so you'll barely notice it on your wrist.
The display itself is a large 1.64-inch AMOLED screen, even bigger than rivals like the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/huawei-band-6-review-all-day-spo2-monitoring-for-under-5-000-1630771628585" target="_blank">Huawei Band 6</a> and Honor Band 6, and records a better pixels-per-inch ratio of around 326. The screen also gets an ambient light sensor, so it can manage its brightness automatically--a very handy feature.
It supports both touch and swipe gestures, which is good, because there's absolutely no buttons anywhere on the Oppo Watch Free. How that affects daily operation is something I'll talk about a bit later.
<h2>Features &amp; Functions</h2>
The Oppo Watch Free is packed to the hilt with useful features at this price point. It can track your heart rate in real-time, and charts it for you on a day-to-day basis. You can also track your Blood Oxygen levels in real-time, but unfortunately that's only available for when you're asleep.
Speaking of sleeping, you can measure your sleep with the Watch Free, and it can automatically detect whether you're asleep or awake.
You can also track over 100 different kinds of workouts, including exercises like Rowing Machine, Strength Training, and much, much more. It's worth noting though, that the Oppo Watch Free doesn't get GPS, so it'll rely on your connected smartphone to get its GPS data for tracking outdoor runs.&nbsp;
The device runs on a proprietary operating system, so there's no support for third-party apps, and the lack of a speaker and mic means there's no support for calling on the Oppo Watch Free.

<h2>Performance &amp; Battery Life</h2>
The Watch Free was quite surprising in terms of performance, mostly due to its extremely touch responsive screen. Any touch or swipe gesture was smooth and quick, with UI animations responding very quickly. Accidental touches were few and far between, thanks to the large screen size.&nbsp;
In terms of accuracy, the step counter was pretty spot on with my daily count every time I decided to test it. The heart rate monitor was also mostly accurate, although the device does recommend you wear it lower than your wrist bone for better results. I will admit, though, that while it seemed to record sedentary heart levels just fine, it wasn't all that quick at keeping up with fluctuating heart rates during a workout session.&nbsp;
The SpO2 monitor was also somewhat similar, with mostly parallel readings as a pulse oximeter, but subject to fluctuation based on things like how much arm hair you have. It's a useful feature to have in a pinch, sure, but I'd still recommend using specialised equipment for such measurements.
On the other hand, Sleep Tracking was far more accurate. Not only was the automatic sleep detection feature consistently able to recognise when I dozed off, it correctly detected when I woke and stopped sleep tracking on every occasion. I also like that apart from tracking just your regular sleep, the Watch Free can also track REM sleep cycles and your snoring habits.
In terms of Battery Life, the Oppo Watch Free is rated to last 14 days, but if you turn on real-time heart rate tracking and constant SpO2 monitoring, you're likely to eat into that battery life much faster. In my usage, the Watch easily lasted me over a week, even with all possible functions turned on.&nbsp;

<h2>User Interface</h2>
As I mentioned before, the Oppo Watch Free runs on a proprietary OS, and misses out on physical buttons. This makes navigating the user interface a bit clunky, because it's all a series of swipe and touch gestures, and no quick way to return home from any function. While the screen is super responsive to use and offers smooth animations, but a home button, whether physical or capacitive would have certainly helped make it easier to navigate the user interface.
Navigation aside, you can spruce up your experience of the Oppo Watch Free by choosing from a wide selection of Watch Faces, some of which have complications for activity tracking. It is worth mentioning though, that the device only holds space for seven Watch Faces at any given time, so you're going to have to pick carefully, or change things using the partner app.
<h2>App Connect - HeyTap Health</h2>
Oppo's HeyTap Health app is available for both iOS and Android, and helps monitor all the various metrics the Watch Free can track.
The main dashboard holds all of your important information like Daily Activity, Heart Rate history, SpO2 history and Workout Records.
You can also use the Fitness tab to trigger a run and track your route using the connected device. Watch Faces can be changed from the Manage tab, where you can also update the band, change notification settings and modify the frequency of heart-rate and SpO2 monitoring.
In the interest of transparency, I have to admit that the app didn't always give me a great experience, and I faced frequent disconnections from the band. At times, the device would be connected to my smartphone, but the app would still say it wasn't connected, and refuse to update my information or let me control the band.
Now Oppo has said this problem can be addressed differently on different devices, and on the smartphone I used, it required me to keep the app locked at all times, and remove all background restrictions. This did seem to help, but the disconnection issue didn't go away completely during my usage.
I'm hoping that this is an issue with just the app that Oppo can fix with a future update.

<h2>Price &amp; Verdict</h2>
At ₹5,999, there's not a lot more you can ask for from a fitness tracker, and on most counts, the Oppo Watch Free delivers. While there is room for improvement in some areas, I still think it offers a promising feature set if all you need is a smart wearable with a lightweight form-factor, plenty of functions and a large display.

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.
