Technology Dog

Before the new product launch, realme announced a donation of 5 million to Henan for disaster relief. At the same time, realme also officially released two mobile phones, Realme GT Master and Realme GT Master Discovery Edition. , designed by Japanese design master Naoto Fukasawa and inspired by suitcases. It is equipped with Snapdragon 870, Samsung 120Hz curved screen, Sony IMX766 imaging, etc. It is known as the 3,000 yuan flagship ceiling and the king of quality-price ratio.

Technology Dog has already received this new product for the first time. Let’s learn about it quickly through Technology Dog’s actual hands-on experience! (Note: The prototype in the article is an engineering machine and does not represent the final retail version. It is for reference only)

Appearance analysis: The overall appearance presents a pure and comfortable texture

The Realme GT Master series has There are four colors in total: gray, apricot and the new Snow Mountain and Dawn. The first two are designed as suitcases and adopt the industry's first three-dimensional 3D plain leather technology. The colors are fashionable and generous without being too business-like. The surface is also It has been treated with oil resistance, waterproof and anti-fingerprint, and the details are perfect.

Realme takes the earth’s unique landscape as its design concept and explores two images of morning light (color) and snowy mountains (white) as basic colors to provide users with more choices.

These two colors are made of high-grade AG glass material. "Morning" is the sunrise of a coastal city, sunshine and sea, warm and cold tones, silky and smooth. It uses Japan's patented PICSUS technology - nano-laminated coating, which gives the phone a metallic luster and can be refracted at different angles. Holographic colors.

The one that Technology Dog unboxed is in the "Snow Mountain" (white) color scheme. The "Snow Mountain" is a majestic snow mountain that is close in front of you, but also out of reach. It is printed with 6 lines of ink, which is more than the conventional process. 50% more ink volume for detailed color effects. At the same time, it adopts a new generation of AG glass technology, adopts just the right etching degree (45%-65% haze) and roughness (0.15-0.4 μm roughness), and adopts advanced 3D AF technology to greatly improve the anti-fingerprint and anti-oil stain capabilities. Enhanced, presenting a pure and comfortable texture.

The Realme GT Master Edition uses a Samsung AMOLED curved screen, supports 120Hz screen refresh rate and 480Hz touch reporting rate, has a 100% P3 color gamut display, 10240-level brightness adjustment, rich color expression, and high power consumption. Could be lower. The screen is made of flexible screen material and the industry's most advanced COP package, with an ultra-narrow chin of 3.15mm and extremely narrow bezels, providing excellent visual effects.

The two sides of the screen are curved at 56 degrees, and the two sides of the back cover are curved at 60 degrees. The slightly curved screen and the 3D curved body echo at almost similar angles, providing exquisite visual perception and comfort. Smooth feel.

Photography experience: the secret of one-click photo production

The Realme GT Master Discovery Edition uses the IMX766 sensor jointly developed with Sony, and has a 1/1.56 outsole. Compared with the IMX586, F1.88 aperture, supports OIS optical image stabilization, 1/1.56-inch outsole, and increases light intake by 63.8%.

The IMX766 sensor adopts a global 2x2OCL structure, which can achieve full-pixel focusing, with a maximum of 8192x6144 pixels. Each pixel is a focus point, which can achieve video locking and tracking, and even go out of the lens and return. , it can still focus in seconds, and with DOL-HDR and omnidirectional focusing technology, it makes the photos look better and the shooting speed is faster, making it easier for users to capture the beautiful scenery around them.

The ultra-wide-angle lens can enhance the sense of depth and space in the picture. The imaging effect has a strong impact on the picture, making people feel as if they are actually there, giving users a new photography experience. It is precisely because of this characteristic of the ultra-wide-angle lens that the natural scenery captured by users will look more imposing, and the urban buildings will be more majestic. When taking group photos while traveling, an ultra-wide-angle lens is also a very good choice.

The ultra-clear main camera in 1X mode presents a relatively good look and feel. The color performance of this kind of photo is a typical realme style. The ultra-wide-angle lens provides a larger field of view and captures a wider scene. There is no color deviation in the photo, and it is basically the same as the look and feel brought by real eyes. For daily photography, it is recommended to use the 1X mode. The photos taken are more pleasing to share on social media, and the colors are relatively rich and eye-catching.

The above pictures were taken under backlight. Judging from the real-shot samples in 1X mode, the details of the subject are still well controlled. In addition to the subject, other details in the picture can still be displayed during shooting. came out, the resolution performance was excellent, and edge distortion did not appear.

The 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens uses a Sony IMX481 sensor, F2.2 aperture, 123-degree FOV angle of view, and a newly added face anti-distortion function. When a face appears on the edge of the lens, it can automatically optimize and correct the face shape. to take more natural-looking ultra-wide-angle portrait photos, especially suitable for group photos. Equipped with a 4cm macro lens, 2 million pixels, and F2.4 aperture, you can capture microscopic scenes with insight and discover unique photography perspectives.

Equipped with a 32 million ultra-clear selfie camera, with Sony IMX615 sensor, F2.45 aperture, 80.6 degree FOV field of view, 6560*4928 resolution, Sony sensor can shoot better picture quality, with The high pixels allow every selfie to be super clear.

In terms of taking pictures in automatic mode, thanks to the very good tolerance of the sensor, the light and dark parts of the photo are very well preserved. The automatic HDR is also activated more actively. Both the bright and dark parts of the photo are properly preserved. Just press the shutter button to image, and the whole process is quick with almost no lag.

The built-in color temperature sensor can record and analyze the color temperature at the time of shooting, making the camera's colors more accurate and its white balance more natural.

realme worked with a number of professional street photographers*** to discuss how to create street photography that is rich in emotion and story. By studying a large number of street photography around the world, we refined the concepts of "fast" and " Based on these two characteristics, a professional street photography mode that can quickly capture shots and weaken algorithm interference has been developed.

When the screen is off, double-click the volume button to quickly enter the professional street photography mode (this function is turned off by default, you need to enter the camera - Settings - Advanced Settings - Camera Quick Start to turn it on), built-in DIS ultra-clear It also has multiple focusing functions such as fast zoom, fixed focus, peak focus, etc. It also has three customized filter functions: street photography, light and shadow enhancement, and portrait dramatization.

Due to the technical bottleneck of mobile phone cameras, shooting the starry sky requires complex parameter debugging and various professional equipment. It has always been a high-end photography method that is difficult for the public to match. Now, with the technological breakthroughs and algorithm iterative upgrades of mobile phone cameras, The smart starry sky mode is implemented on realme mobile phones. It does not require complex parameter settings or professional cameras. It only requires a tripod and you can easily shoot the starry sky.

Realme has analyzed the four core elements of starry sky photography: brightness, purity, clarity, and color. The Realme GT Master series uses dynamic shutter, ISO, focus, and white balance to flexibly adjust the picture. to get a great photo and video of the starry sky. The starry sky mode not only allows you to take photos, but also supports recording "starry sky time-lapse videos", which is even more shocking.
