Display Comparison

The Realme GT Neo 3T takes the display crown with a measured peak brightness of 803 nits, surpassing the GT2 Pro's 778 nits. Both offer excellent contrast ratios (infinite nominal), resulting in vibrant and immersive viewing experiences. However, the GT2 Pro's color accuracy might be slightly better due to its AMOLED panel (assumed, not explicitly stated), while the Neo 3T uses an AMOLED display as well.

Both phones offer capable camera systems, but the GT2 Pro generally produces better image quality, especially in challenging lighting conditions. The GT2 Pro's main sensor is likely larger (assumed based on typical flagship specs), allowing for more light capture. The GT Neo 3T's camera is still very good for the price, offering vibrant colors and decent detail.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the GT2 Pro is significantly more powerful than the Snapdragon 870 in the GT Neo 3T. Expect smoother multitasking, faster app loading times, and better performance in demanding games. While the 870 is still a capable chip, the 8 Gen 1 offers a noticeable performance boost. Thermal management is a known issue with the 8 Gen 1, so sustained performance might be slightly impacted.
