Display Comparison

Both phones feature vibrant displays with excellent contrast ratios (nominally infinite). The GT Neo 3 has a measured peak brightness of 796 nits, suggesting slightly better outdoor visibility. The 10 Pro+ likely has a slightly more refined color calibration, but detailed display testing would be needed for a definitive answer. Both likely use AMOLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates.

Camera Comparison

While both phones are advertised as having 'Photo / Video' capabilities, the 10 Pro+ is rumored to have a more advanced camera system, potentially including a higher resolution main sensor (likely 108MP). The GT Neo 3's camera is competent, but the 10 Pro+ likely offers better image quality, especially in low light. Detailed camera comparisons would require extensive testing.

Performance

The GT Neo 3’s Dimensity 8100 chipset is the clear winner here. Its 5nm process and higher clock speeds (4x2.85 GHz Cortex-A78) provide significantly more processing power than the 10 Pro+'s Dimensity 1080 (2x2.6 GHz Cortex-A78). Expect smoother gaming and faster app loading on the GT Neo 3.

Battery Life

The Realme 10 Pro+ takes the lead in battery life, boasting an impressive endurance rating of 149h. The GT Neo 3 charges significantly faster with its 80W wired charging (32 minutes for 100%), but the 10 Pro+'s 67W charging (advertised 50% in 17 minutes) still provides respectable speeds.

Buying Guide

The Realme GT Neo 3 is ideal for gamers and power users who prioritize raw performance and rapid charging. The Realme 10 Pro+ is a better choice for those who value battery life, a potentially improved camera, and a more balanced overall experience.
