Display Comparison

The Realme GT2 takes the display crown with a measured peak brightness of 846 nits, surpassing the 11 Pro+'s 793 nits. Both feature AMOLED panels with vibrant colors and excellent contrast (the GT2's is nominally infinite). While the 11 Pro+ might have slightly better color accuracy, the GT2's brightness advantage is noticeable in outdoor conditions.

Camera Comparison

Both phones feature capable camera systems, but the 11 Pro+ is expected to have a more advanced main sensor, potentially leading to better low-light performance and dynamic range. The GT2's camera is still good, but the 11 Pro+ likely offers a more refined experience. Specific camera specs are missing, making a definitive judgment difficult.

Performance

Here, the Realme 11 Pro+’s Dimensity 7050 offers a more modern architecture and improved efficiency compared to the GT2’s Snapdragon 888. While the 888 is still a capable chip, the Dimensity 7050 generally provides smoother multitasking and better power management. The GT2, however, might have a slight edge in sustained gaming performance due to its cooling system.

Battery Life

Both phones offer excellent battery life with endurance ratings of 115h and 112h respectively. However, the Realme 11 Pro+'s 100W wired charging is a game-changer, allowing for incredibly fast top-ups compared to the GT2's 65W charging.

Buying Guide

The Realme GT2 is ideal for gamers and users prioritizing raw performance and a brighter display. The Realme 11 Pro+ is a better choice for those who value incredibly fast charging, a more recent chipset, and a potentially improved camera system (though this is less clear-cut).
