  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting a full day of heavy use or up to two days with moderate use.
  • Blazing-fast 65W SuperDart wired charging that can charge the phone to full in about 35-40 minutes.
  • Main 64MP rear camera performs well in good lighting conditions, capturing good detail and dynamic range, sufficient for social media.
  • Good build quality and in-hand feel, despite having a plastic frame.
  • Fast and reliable in-display fingerprint scanner and face unlock features.
  • Good connectivity options including 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC for mobile payments.

What we don't like about realme GT Neo 2 (8GB + 128GB)

  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack (no audio jack).
  • Ultra-wide and macro cameras are considered average or underwhelming compared to the main sensor and are often seen as 'spec-sheet stuffing'.
  • Selfie camera performance can be disappointing, especially in low-light conditions.
  • Some users reported minor software glitches or occasional issues with call disconnections, although updates have addressed some problems over time.
  • No microSD card slot for expandable storage.
  • The placement of the power and volume buttons can be awkward for some users, leading to accidental screenshots.
  • No official IP rating for water protection.

Verdict

The Realme GT Neo 2 (8GB + 128GB) is a performance-focused smartphone featuring a powerful Snapdragon 870 5G processor, a vibrant 6.62-inch 120Hz E4 AMOLED display, and a substantial 5,000mAh battery with 65W SuperDart charging capability. Its key pros include excellent sustained performance, a great display for media consumption and gaming, and fast battery top-ups. Potential cons involve the omission of a headphone jack and a slightly underwhelming macro camera performance compared to the main 64MP sensor.
