The only tell-tale sign that this isn\u2019t an expensive flagship is the slightly large chin below the screen \u2014 that and the headphone jack.<\/p>\n<p id=\"d9KvPd\">\u201cFlagship killer\u201d is, of course, what OnePlus used to call its phones before the company started making more expensive devices. In truth, Realme has had a better claim to that title than OnePlus for a while now, with devices like last year\u2019s X50 Pro offering excellent performance for the price. Realme does share the same private ownership and supply chain as OnePlus \u2014 both brands were originally spun out of Oppo \u2014 so the similarities aren\u2019t coming from nowhere.<\/p>\n<p id=\"vsFiBt\">Here are the GT\u2019s key specs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor<\/li>\n<li>6.4-inch 1080p 120Hz OLED screen<\/li>\n<li>64-megapixel primary camera, 8-megapixel ultrawide, 2-megapixel macro, 16-megapixel selfie<\/li>\n<li>4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging<\/li>\n<li>128GB or 256GB of storage<\/li>\n<li>8GB or 12GB or RAM<\/li>\n<li>Optical in-display fingerprint sensor<\/li>\n<li>Headphone jack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"vOICBc\">The lack of wireless charging is probably the biggest missing feature here \u2014 Realme has still yet to support it on any phone, though, so it\u2019s not really a surprise. The camera system doesn\u2019t sound like it\u2019d hold up against most flagships, either. But otherwise, the GT appears to be very good value for the price, undercutting the MSRP of anything else with a Snapdragon 888.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2tnWJ9\">That said, the pricing is a little complicated. The \u20ac369 8GB\/128GB version will only be sold on AliExpress from June 21st to 25th. The official list price of the 12GB\/256GB version is \u20ac599 (~$725), but Realme tells <em>The Verge <\/em>that the actual price will be \u20ac549 (~$665) on the company\u2019s website, as was previously revealed. You\u2019ll also be able to save further on Amazon\u2019s Prime Day on June 21st, where it\u2019ll be available for \u20ac499 (~$605). <\/p>\n<p id=\"jMusN7\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Realme is launching its highest-end phone yet in several European countries today, describing it&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1646,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[59,38,57,61,58,60],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1645"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1645"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2030,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1645\/revisions\/2030"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
