Pros and Cons

realme GT3

Strengths

The realme GT3 has support for 240 watt charging, which is the fastest charging speed ever.
The phone has a large 6.74 inch AMOLED display with a high resolution of 1240 by 2772 pixels and an extra fast 144hz refresh rate.
The display is very bright, measuring up to 480 nits, and supports 10-bit color depth and HDR 10 plus for great color accuracy.
The phone has a pair of stereo speakers that earned a good score on our loudness chart and provide decent sound quality with clear vocals and highs.
The realme GT3 has an IR blaster which allows you to use the phone as a remote to control appliances, and an under-display fingerprint reader for convenient biometric authentication.
The phone's software experience is basically the same as recent Realme, Oppo, or OnePlus phones, with the latest Realme UI 4.0 on top of Android 13.

Weaknesses

The battery capacity has been reduced to 4600 milliamp hours compared to last year's model, which may be a drawback for some users.
The ultra-wide camera produces low-detail and noisy photos, and the selfie camera takes blurry images with lack of fine detail.
The phone doesn't have ingress protection (IP rating), which might be a concern for users who want their device to withstand water or dust exposure.
The charging speed does taper off as the battery warms up, and the phone's thermal management may not always keep up during prolonged stress tests.
The realme GT3 is kind of expensive at its launch price, making it less competitive in the market.
The 2-megapixel microscope camera isn't particularly impressive, and the quality of macro shots is not a game-changer.

realme GT3

The Realme GT3 is a formidable flagship killer that boasts the fastest charging speed in the market with its impressive 240W power delivery. But is lightning-fast charging enough to justify its presence among top-tier smartphones? This device also packs a larger and higher-resolution screen, a new chipset, and a microscopic camera, making it an intriguing option for those seeking high-performance features without the hefty price tag. Let's dive into our review to see if Realme's latest offering can live up to its impressive specs.

vivo V40 5G

The Vivo V40 5G is a solid mid-range smartphone with a sleek design and impressive battery life. The device features a 6.44-inch AMOLED display, a dual-camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor, and a quad-core processor. The camera system produces excellent images, particularly in bright lighting conditions, with the Zeiss natural mode offering a more realistic tone. The phone's performance is smooth, thanks to its energy-efficient Snapdragon chipset, and the battery life is outstanding, easily lasting a full weekend on a single charge. Charging is quick, too, with 80W wired charging available. The camera app offers various modes, including a 50MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a dedicated macro mode. However, the phone's design is a bit of a mixed bag. While it looks good, it feels plasticky and lacks the premium feel that some users might expect from a mid-range device. Additionally, the absence of wireless charging and IP68 water resistance might be a drawback for some. The FunTouch OS 11, Vivo's custom interface, can take getting used to, but overall, the V40 5G is an excellent value proposition. With its long battery life, decent camera performance, and snappy performance, it's a great option for those looking for a reliable mid-range smartphone without breaking the bank. Overall, the Vivo V40 5G is a solid choice for anyone seeking a reliable and feature-rich mid-range device. Its impressive battery life, good camera performance, and smooth performance make it a worthwhile consideration in its price segment.
