On March 22, realme launched the Tianji 8100+first 150W fast charge+IMX766 new console, the GT Neo3, which has two versions: "5000mAh battery+80W fast charge" and "4500mAh+150W fast charge". How does it compare with the lifelong enemy Redmi "Kai Wuling"? Let's take a look now.
The parameters of the real GT Neo3 are briefly repeated: 8.2mm, 188g. Tianji 8100, with a single display chip, supports game frame insertion. 6.7 inch 120Hz flexible straight screen. Front 1600W, main camera IMX766 (OIS, F1.88), 800W ultra wide angle+200W macro.
5000mAh+80W version:
6+128 version 1999 yuan
8+128 version 2299 yuan
12+256 version 2599 yuan
4500mAh+150W version with 100 yuan initial discount:

The real GT Neo3 is very famous for its first 150W fast charge, which is faster than my father. The charging head model of USB-C port is VCK8HACH and weighs 172g. The design is close to the 80W fast charging head of Yijia and OPPO before, more than half a circle, but a little more flat. The double ended USB-C line delivered is about 1m long and extremely sturdy.
The charging head is compatible with 45W PD and PPS, up to 20V, and can be used to charge the notebook. However, the peak current is only 2.25A, which is not friendly to machines that use high current fast charging. For example, the Samsung flagship of 25W "fast charging" is not even satisfied with 25W. I hope the next generation can adjust the current to make the charging head more environmentally friendly.

In addition to the common pure black of "Crazy Black", the Le Mans (blue) and Silverstone (white) color matching of the real GT Neo3 are all related to racing cars. They are very famous tracks. The Le Mans version is a highly saturated blue purple, while the Silverstone version is a rare panda color matching with a black middle frame and a white back cover, both of which have traffic jam related double white stripes. Although racing design is a pursuit, I still hope that we can have a pure white car in the later stage and take care of our low-key owners of Shenzhen Bay No.1.
The texture of the "Prestige" middle frame of the real GT Neo3 is unexpected. There is no antenna slot, but It feels like metal, Besides, there is no fancy bright surface/multi-level processing, which is simple and tidy and worth learning from friends and businesses.
The radian of the back cover is natural, With 188g body, the handle is obviously better than K50 The microphone is purposely flat, but as usual Condemns the design of "placing the microphone next to the SIM card slot" , the microphone may still be connected to the SIM card by mistake.

The top is the real GT Neo3, and the bottom is the iPhone and Redmi K50
2.37mm produced by the new COP process The bottom border is not far from the iPhone The front of the front opening with a diameter of 3.74mm is normal, but The position is lower, which occupies part of the display area , making the notice bar of the real GT Neo3 more "magnificent" than the normal model.
Workmanship&fingerprint&external release&vibration&NFC&system
Genuine GT Neo3 overall workmanship is good , the gap is tight, the key position is small, the power key also has twill, and the microphone and speaker have mesh. The screen washer is smooth and has a large area, which is easy to scratch.
No matter the key or the middle box The "high polymer materials" should be like a fake. Samsung, which used to play with plastic, may not be able to make plastic so like metal.
Short focal fingerprint , the position is lower, the speed and recognition rate are normal, and even the tolerance to water contact is higher than that of common models;
X-axis motor of 0809 , at the same level as the K50 series, the vibration intensity and compactness are in line with the standard;
Dolby Panorama+Hi Res Certification The volume of the dual speakers of K50 is not very high, but still the same as that of K50. The absolute volume of the lower speaker is greater than that of the upper speaker, but the opening of the upper speaker is large. The volume of the left and right speakers in the front is relatively average, and the sound quality is OK. The rear cover has obvious resonance, directly forming "5D vibration feeling";
The Genuine GT Neo3 also has the same model as the Genuine GT2 Pro 360 ° NFC It doesn't need to distinguish the front and back, and even the frame on the body can trigger NFC. It is the best NFC antenna for mobile phones today, perhaps not one of them;
In addition, the real GT Neo3 and the rare ones now Double card double pass When card 1 is talking, card 2 can also answer the phone. This function is seldom bought, and is used and treasured;
The system doesn't say anything about it. In fact, the theme of ColorOS 12 has changed. The system is smooth and comfortable, with complete functions, but the features such as not changing the third-party desktop, locking only 5 apps, and extremely strict background management are still in place, and users who like to struggle in the computer circle are still not very friendly.
screen
The real GT Neo3 is equipped with the 6.7 inch 120Hz OLED flexible straight screen of Tianma/BOE, and COP package, all of which are similar to the drill array. 2412x1080394ppi, global brightness peak 800nit, local 1000nit, with factory color calibration, 360Hz touch sampling rate, 1000Hz instantaneous sampling.
Pentile like drill row, red and blue sub pixels are square. The physical fineness is close to Samsung's P-row OLED, but the subpixel call of Tianma needs to be improved, and the font edge is still not as sharp as Samsung's. The developer option has a DC like dimming switch, but the actual measurement is not a UI switch.
The full white manual brightness of the real GT Neo3 screen is 489nit, and the excitation brightness is 830nit, which is higher than the official value. The reverse false label belongs to Yes. The brightness index is at the same level as Samsung's E4 screen , great progress has been made. The color accuracy is exaggerated, The color standard of nature and cinema mode has turned over most of the top flagship, and the domestic screen has really stood up.
The visual perception of the screen is good, the uniformity is average, and the top of the one we have is slightly cold. Although still It cannot win the same level of Samsung screens, but the screens of domestic suppliers such as Tianma, BOE and Vicino have made rapid progress in recent years, which is worth encouraging.
photograph: IMX766+OIS
The main camera of the real GT Neo3 is the IMX7665 million pixels with OIS, 1.0 μ m, 1/1.56 ", F1.88 aperture. Front 1600W, F2.45； 800W, F2.25 ultra wide angle; 200W, F2.4.
Compared with the real GT Neo3, it should not be the Redmi K50, but there are many users who ask about the gap between their photos. Here's a forced comparison:
Comparison between main camera and ultra wide angle camera
Comparison between main camera and ultra wide angle, central amplification (if I didn't know that ultra wide angle is a fixed focus lens, I really thought I was a virtual focus)
Main camera contrast 1
Focus contrast 1, central amplification
Main camera contrast 2
Main camera contrast 2, central amplification
Same as the scene, "2x zoom", central magnification
Focus contrast 3 (pay attention to highlights)
Main camera contrast 3
Main camera contrast 3, central amplification (hateful owl algorithm, return my discrimination!)
Ultra wide angle contrast 1 (the ultra wide angle of Xiaomi 11 Ultra has widened the field of vision several times)
Ultra wide angle contrast 2
Ultra wide angle contrast 2, central amplification
Ultra wide angle contrast 3 (pay attention to highlights)
Ultra wide angle contrast 4, the gap is too large, even there is no need to enlarge
Here, Xiaomi 11 Ultra comes out as a standard reference. It is characterized by extremely high dark tolerance, a real night vision device, but the owl algorithm in weak light is also relentless in smearing details. The K50 has a smaller main camera field of vision (the ultimate daytime discrimination is the best of the three), a larger ultra wide-angle field of vision, and disadvantages in both hardware and algorithm (ultra wide-angle and even no automatic night view), so we will not make more comments.
Real GT Neo3 and K50 Camera gap, just like paper specifications, is not comparable The IMX766 is really a good CMOS, and the night scene performance is good, especially the details. The high-density details are even a bit similar to Huawei's AI texture. Ultra wide angle specifications are similar, but somehow there are multiple frame synthesis, which is significantly better than K50. The saturation of the real GT Neo3 is on the high side, the white balance is generally OK, and there is a slight magenta trend. The main weakness is the highlight suppression algorithm, which is easy to overflow, and the super wide angle multi frame synthesis (HDR and night scene) smearing is very fierce.
performance
The Genuine GT Neo3 is equipped with the Tianji 8100, which is about to become an old friend, and the TSMC 5nm process. The CPU is 4x2.85GHz A78+4x2.0GHz A55, and the large core 512KB L2 cache and 4MB L3 cache. The GPU is Mali-G610 MC6, and the frequency is still not found. From the achievement/scale gap with Tianji 9000, its frequency will not be lower than 850MHz.
Although the four large cores of Tianji 8100 are the same, the CPU scheduling is very special. The GT mode of K50 and the real GT Neo3 are both "1+3" mode, and there will be different settings of "1 high, 3 low" and "1 low, 3 high" according to the scene. But the real GT Neo3 still has "1+2+1" and "1+1+1+1+1" modes. It seems that they are not the same core cluster. It's really a long experience.
The peak performance output of the Genuine GT Neo3 is more aggressive than that of the K50, especially its multi-core performance, The dragon 8 Gen 1 cried after 4000 points 。 The GPU is more conservative than the K50, and there is also a gap in flash memory speed.
In addition, in the current version of firmware, there are two subprojects in the Sling Shot Extreme scenario of 3DMark, one is normal and the other is abnormal. Could it be related to the core cluster calls mentioned above? Or it is related to the excessively negative CPU calls at this time, and the reason cannot be found temporarily.
The CPU frequency control is more flexible, and the power consumption control is supposed to be better, but the real me has equipped the real me GT Neo3 More powerful heat dissipation than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 The Genuine GT Neo3 has 4129mm ² stainless steel VC+39606mm ² total heat dissipation area. The VC is as large as the Genuine GT2 Pro, but the total heat dissipation area is 7.74% larger than the Genuine GT2 Pro Tianji 8100: I think everyone is worried too much.
Real GT Neo3 Temperature control is quite strict The room temperature is 25.5 ℃. 3DMark's Wild Life Unlimited pressure test lasted for 20 minutes. The maximum temperature at the front is 42.4 ℃, and the back is 41.8 ℃. The temperature line setting is quite conservative, affecting the output, but the stability is still 98.5%.
The real GT Neo3 also has a Pixelworks X5 series independent display chip for game frame insertion. Similar to iQOO and other peers, the GPU renders 45 or 60 frames, and the display chip fills the frame to 90 or 120 frames. The operation delay (after all, the GPU renders according to the original frame number) is used to exchange for lower power consumption. The unique feature of the true self is that it claims to be able to automatically switch to the frame inserting mode when the mobile phone frame rate is strained. More than 20 games, such as Glory of the King, League of Heroes and Orion of 90FPS, which support 120FPS for the first time, will be adapted after March 24, and there is no chance to test at the deadline.
Endurance and charging
The 4500mAh dual cell and 200 nit brightness of the True Self GT Neo3, after 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR high-definition+limit frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback at station B, 30 minutes of short microblog video, 30 minutes of Wi Fi and 5G surfing respectively, and a total of 2.5 hours of endurance testing, the remaining power is 73%. Its performance is better than the flagship of high power SoC, Many competitors with bigger batteries have been turned over, but they have not met the expectations of Tianji 8100+1080P screen 。
The 150W fast charge launched by True Self, two customized charge pumps with a conversion efficiency of 98.5%, two 20V 3.75A to two 10V 7.5A, and finally rectified into an exaggerated 10V 15A large current.
It may be because the user is worried that I have got the Rhine Fast Charge security certification (all kinds of certification businesses are available, and Rhine wins). In addition to the charging circuit, there is an independent MCU to monitor the status, which can directly turn off the 150W fast charging. A more corrosion resistant rhodium ruthenium alloy is added inside the charging port, and it is claimed that the battery has 1600 charge discharge cycles (the same value as OPPO Find X5 Pro).
The measured peak value is 131W, lasting for 1 minute and 40 seconds; Second gear 104W for 50 seconds; Third gear 68W 2 minutes and a half; Then came the 50W-54W "up to" nearly 12 minutes; 43W for 1.5 minutes; Then it dropped slowly, and at 19:44, it returned to zero directly from 16W and cut off the charge. In the process, the fuselage is slightly hot, but within the normal range.
Real GT Neo3 Even in the second gear, the power is higher than the normal 120W ， The duration above 100W is about 2.5 minutes. The system displays 100% of the power before the charge is cut off 3 minutes later, but the actual charge in the first 5 minutes is very similar to the power displayed by the system.
Comparison between the real GT Neo3 and Yizhong 120W fast charging model. All readings without additional marks are system power readings. The longer the color bar in the same line, the faster the speed ↑
The longer the color bar in the same line is, the faster the speed will be ↑
My 150W fast charging setting mainly improves the charging speed below 40%. Although the final charging duration is not different In the first three minutes, the real GT Neo3 was in a supernatural state The power growth is calculated by seconds, and the appearance is extremely exaggerated. The power will surge up if you are not careful. In its database, the fastest charging mobile phone in the first five minutes is not one of the first. and 40% up, which can be interpreted as 65W fast charging , so its final finish is not exaggerated.
This is not an example, The charging power continuously improved by the manufacturer is basically generated in the first few minutes , which basically increases the charging speed below 40%. Whether it is 150W or 120W, in the commonly used 40% - 80% stage, the actual level is basically 60W, which is an important reason why their total charging time cannot open the gap.
Although the 150W of the Genuine GT Neo3 is really outstanding in the first three minutes, although it is a good thing that the manufacturer keeps making breakthroughs, compared with continuing to brush the peak power (the weight and cost of the charging head have doubled, and the battery density has also decreased), Improving the power of the middle and rear segments is the direction of efforts to make the perception more obvious and the cost more appropriate 。
We should have a rational understanding of high power fast charging. If users only look at the final charging time, it will waste the core value of high power fast charging, and will also contribute to the unhealthy trend of UI.
Summary: fight in the air
Although both are Tianji 8100, the real GT Neo3 and Redmi K50 are completely different products. The real GT Neo3 is a lightweight, camera and fast charging enhanced version, while the K50 is a 2K screen+67W+5500mAh battery.
The 150W fast charging real person GT Neo3 and the 2K screen K50 are both biased. Relatively speaking, the real GT Neo3 is not so specialized:
The real GT Neo3 battery is small, the screen is standard, the appearance and feel are OK, and the main camera and charging are the core long boards. Users who do not recognize the side fingerprint and MIUI, or feel that the 2K screen is increasing power consumption, can rush;
K50 is not only a professional student, but also an expert student. Its appearance, photos and side fingerprints will persuade some users to quit. However, 2K screen and 5500mAh battery alone can make a lot of fans.
Reasonably, In fact, the two machines are fighting and competing in different positions. Their advantages and disadvantages are so different that they can't fight together . But this is the right way for cost-effective models. Only with focus can we control costs. Benign competition with different advantages and disadvantages is always more interesting than highly similar mobile phones and forced comparison of prices.
As the author commented before, it is good to stagger the competition. The screen closed its eyes to select K50, and the camera/appearance/quick charge closed its eyes to select the high-end GT Neo3. It's easy to choose, and neither side can scold [Wang Chai]
The world is very large, and user needs are diverse. Some people compare mobile phones to desktop computers. Shoe boxes and cases are enough. Their appearance and feel are fake, not as good as good screens and large batteries. Some people also compare mobile phones to cars. They should not only drive well, but also watch well, so there will naturally be more considerations and choices.
Lu Xun was right: Understanding your own needs is always the first need.
