Weaknesses

The lack of a high refresh rate on the screen may make scrolling less smooth.

realme GT

Strengths

The Realme GT features a flagship-grade design with a glossy and dramatic gradient color scheme that's sure to turn heads.
The phone has a great-looking 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution, HDR10+ support, and a fast 120Hz refresh rate for seamless UI navigation and content scrolling.
The Realme GT is powered by the same Snapdragon 888 chipset found in top Android flagships, delivering stellar CPU and GPU performance for smooth gaming and multitasking.
The phone's battery life is impressive, with an endurance rating of 98 hours in our tests, and a huge 65W Super Dart charger that can fully charge the device from zero to full in just 37 minutes.
The Realme GT has a good set of cameras, including a 64MP quad-camera setup with a dedicated ultra-wide-angle camera, macro lens, and 16MP front-facing camera, producing great photos with accurate colors and excellent contrast.

Weaknesses

Unfortunately, the Realme GT does not support high-frame-rate gaming due to its 60Hz display limitation.
The phone's stainless steel vapor cooling system leads to significant thermal throttling during intense stress tests, which may impact performance in demanding scenarios.
Audio quality is okay but not the best, with a lackluster mid-range and bass response despite having stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
Close-up shots from the macro camera can be challenging to capture without autofocus, resulting in soft or blurry photos.
Low-light photos from the ultra-wide-angle camera are subpar, requiring night mode to produce decent results.

Electronic stabilization is available on all cameras, making it easy to record smooth video footage. One potential drawback of the iPhone 12 mini is its smaller battery size, which may not be ideal for heavy users.

realme GT

The Realme GT 5G is a true flagship killer that's now going global. This phone has stepped up its game with a impressive design, featuring a glossy and dramatic gradient called Accelerated Track. The curved back panel is made from glass, making it feel nice in the hand. One of the standout features of this phone is its display - a 6.43-inch AMOLED with a 1080p resolution and a punch hole at the top for the selfie camera. The display is plenty sharp and contrasty, thanks to OLED technology, and has HDR10+ support. The high refresh rate makes swiping through the UI and scrolling content much smoother. Under the hood, the Realme GT 5G features a Snapdragon 888 chipset, which provides stellar CPU and GPU performance. However, thermal throttling was experienced during an hour-long stress test, although this didn't affect actual game performance. The phone also has a good set of cameras, including a 64-megapixel quad main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide cam, and a 2-megapixel macro cam. Photos from the main camera are pretty good, but not flagship-grade, while portrait shots are decent with nice colors and contrast. Battery life is also impressive, with an endurance rating of 98 hours in our proprietary tests. The phone comes with a huge 65W Super Dart charger that's incredibly fast. Overall, the Realme GT 5G offers a ton of value for its price, making it worth recommending to those who don't need high-end features like high-fps gaming and flagship-grade cameras.
