Realme GT Master Edition review: specs, battery & used prices

Hands-on-style overview of the Realme GT Master Edition with Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G: screen, cameras, battery, performance and what it costs used.

Summary

The Realme GT Master Edition is the 2021 style trim of the GT line, running the Snapdragon 778G in a 6.43-inch 120 Hz OLED with a 4300 mAh battery, 65 W charging and a 174-gram body. Our catalog scores it 57 on everyday use, 14 on gaming and a standout 95 on compactness. A 64-megapixel main camera records 4K30 video, and the 6/128 GB trim was tracked at about $355 new. The Realme GT Neo 2 is the pace sibling, and the Realme GT 6 shows the line's later form.

Display and design

The 6.43-inch OLED refreshes at 120 Hz and scores 58 on our screen axis, with a 630-nit figure that holds its own on a bright day. No ingress rating is documented. At 174 grams the body earns the compactness score of 95 — among the lightest and easiest-to-carry phones we measure, the design-first statement of the trim.

Performance

The Snapdragon 778G posts an everyday axis of 57 and a gaming axis of 14: an efficiency-minded upper-mid chip that kept daily pace smooth well beyond its price class. Tracked trims run from 6 to 8 GB of RAM, and no software-window figure is documented for this model.

Camera

The camera axis of 29 rests on a 64-megapixel main sensor with supporting companion sensors, recording 4K30 video. The main sensor is dependable in daylight and honest about its class indoors; the companions are framing-only. Camera was never the spend here — screen, weight and refill pace were.

Battery and charging

The 4300 mAh battery scores 26 on our battery axis — a single day, no more — and 65 W charging scores 46, filling the small cell so quickly that the capacity stops being a planning item. Light body, fast refill: the pairing that made the trim easy to live with.

Verdict

At about $355 new for 6/128 GB, the Realme GT Master Edition pitched style and comfort: 174 grams, a 120 Hz OLED and 65 W refills at a mid-range price. Used market data is sparse. The GT Neo 2 is the bigger-battery pace pick, and the GT 6 is what the line grew into.
