Realme GT Neo 3 is a phone that has come to revolutionize the market with its attractive design, its fast charging system, its processor and its unique features. It is a high-end model that has dazzled many users, but has also had its detractors, and many have expressed their complaints in some aspects or have expressed problems in the use of the mobile.
For this reason, we are going to tell you about some of the main complaints and most common problems of this next-generation phone and that will make you consider your purchase or not. Anyway, if there is any other you want to mention, we would like to know your opinion about it.
Two fast charging versions
One of the complaints of this high-end model is that it has two versions of battery and fast charging power. On the one hand, there is the 4,500 mAh version with 150 W of power , with which you can go from 0 to 50% charge in just 5 minutes, the other with 5,000 mAh and 80 W of fast charging. This becomes a great conflict for many users, who do not know whether to pay more to access a greater fast charge or stay with the previous version whose battery has high autonomy and the charge is still much faster than in other mobiles.
In addition, always charging the mobile at 150 W would wear out the battery too much, and in fact the phone itself warns that when activated it can get hot. The mobile would come with its 150 W charger included in the box, although the cost between one model or another can vary by more than 100 euros on occasions. Although it promises a lot in the fastest charge, many users end up opting for the 80 W one that also has greater battery life.
Although it is not something that will surprise you in the brand, something that some users miss is that it does not have wireless charging support.
Hardware optimization
Although the performance and features of the Realme GT Neo 3 are very good, more than one user has complained that the chipset is not optimized for many apps and games, something that they are very lacking and that is a reason for complaints.
Although it is one of the first times that we begin to see the Dimensity 8100 processor in a fully functioning smartphone, the main drawbacks in GPU performance are due to this reason, to the lack of optimization in some cases. However, the Mali G610 GPU provides a good balance between consumption and performance, so the overall experience tends to be good.
Dashboard and refresh rate
Although the model arrives with a 120Hz refresh rate, some users have complained that it is not 120Hz in applications that do support it, even when the automatic mode is disabled.
Although it has this refresh rate of 120 Hz, since it does not have an LTPO screen , it will only vary between values of 60 and 120 Hz with no other values in between. A better panel was expected in a phone with these characteristics. It does not have adaptive refresh rate.
No IP certification and need for a case
One of the disadvantages of this phone with a design that stands out, and we do not doubt it, is that it does not have IP certification , so it is not officially protected against dust, water, nor does it offer the best resistance in this regard. Cheaper models have this certification and offer great protection, something that this model lacks.
In this case, it does not have this certification, and the main drawback is that if you want to keep it in the best conditions, you will have to end up protecting it with a cover. Also, although there is Gorilla Glass 5 on the front of the phone there is no protection on the back. Having a case on a phone is not a bad thing, but it does not allow you to appreciate its unique design as much. In addition, if you do not use it, your mobile may be exposed to some risks. This will also be necessary to improve grip, since the glass can be seen as somewhat slippery for some users.
Complaints on your cameras, especially the macro
One of the main complaints of this phone refers to the cameras for being a high-end mobile. More specifically with regard to the 2 MP macro camera , which, although it gives good results on your mobile screen, if you print it or take it to other screens, you can see that the resolution is insufficient. The wide-angle camera also does not provide good resolution and a lack of optical stabilization is noticeable with less defined images. It doesn’t have a telephoto lens.
In good light conditions, the result is usually good, but when the light falls the image does not look so good, something that can be seen in the ultra wide angle. In portraits, the best results will be seen at the proper distance. The videos do not provide their best either, their stabilization could be better. In general, much more was expected from their cameras. They are not bad, but they are a reason for complaint from many lovers of photographs.
Speakers and headphone jack missing
Some users may find that mistakes from the previous generation are repeated rather than resolved, such as mounting a different pair of speakers. Thus, the lower one has to carry a greater workload than the other and the sound can be seen as somewhat unbalanced. The effort is higher, something that will not be seen as much in the bass, but can be seen in voices and mid tones with a tendency to be distorted. Some improvement can be seen, as they have worked to improve the audio experience with integrated speakers, but it could be better.
The good thing is that the sound is enhanced with Dolby Atmos . Although it is becoming more common in many mobiles, there are users who will continue to miss the headphone jack.
Non-expandable memory
Although many will not miss it because its memory is more than enough for many users, some complain that the memory is not expandable with a card. The truth is that 256 GB is not bad, although there may be those who need more and do not find this possibility in this particular model. Other phones may have expandable memory up to 1TB.
