  • Gaming Experience

In our experience, the Realme GT Neo 3 5G does not feel fully optimized for MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset.

Although, in general, day-to-day performance, we did not notice any lags or bugs while swiping, scrolling, etc.

  • Camera Performance

The camera performance is one of the significant shortcomings we faced in this GT Neo 3. Compared with its predecessor, Realme GT Neo 2 offered a much better camera performance; even the smartphone also comes with a higher sensor resolution. In GT Neo 3, the primary camera is a downgrade in sensor resolution.



Although, the primary camera sensor also gets both OIS and EIS support. We noticed a color shift in both daylight and low-light photos in our testing. The photo output is slightly on the softer side. The dynamic range and sharpness are also decent in normal lighting conditions. We don’t know if this is something to do with our unit or is it happening with others also. With Optical Image Stabilization, the Realme GT Neo 3 can also capture sharper photos in lighting conditions.

Overall, the selfie camera significantly improves over the Realme GT Neo 2.

Realme GT Neo 3: Final Verdict

Realme GT Neo 3 is a premium smartphone for 2022 from the brand. Meanwhile, it comes with some new features, which stand against some of the popular smartphones of 2022 from brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi, iQoo, and others.

Realme GT 5G series smartphone appears to be a capable all-rounder smartphone with few downgrades. Meanwhile, it is an excellent gaming smartphone on paper. But, in reality, it is below average while gaming. A 120Hz refresh rate, a new MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset, and an ultra-quick 150W fast charging make it a premium segment smartphone.




OIS and EIS on the primary camera make it stand ahead of its competitors. Even though we did notice some bugs in our camera experience, we will see to it in the complete camera review. Meanwhile, the all-new Realme GT 5G smartphone will compete against the recently launched OnePlus 10R.
