Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, up to 12GB of RAM and a 6.7-inch display with WQHD + resolution, Realme GT 2 Pro competes Cons the strongest competitors in the Premium segment. In the camera department, the Realme lacks a dedicated tele shooter but offers 50MP sensors in both the primary and ultra-wide module. Additionally, there is a macro camera for close-up photography.
Let’s take a closer look at the test results and see how the Realme GT 2 Pro forms in the SBMARK camera tests.
Key Camera Specifications:
- Primary: Sony IMX766 50MP 1 / 1.56 ″ sensor, focal length equivalent to 23.6mm, f / 1.8 aperture lens, OIS
- Ultra-wide: 50MP sensor, 15mm equivalent focal length, f / 2.2 aperture lens
- Microscope module: objective with f / 3.3 aperture
- Flashing LED
About SBMARK Camera Tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone camera reviews, SBMARK engineers capture and evaluate over 3000 test images and more than 2.5 hours of video in both controlled laboratory environments and indoor and outdoor natural scenes, using the default camera settings. This article aims to highlight the most important results of our tests. For more information on SBMARK Camera Test Protocol, please click here.

Test summary
Pros
- Good exposure and wide dynamic range
- Decent texture / noise compromise, low noise in low light conditions
- Smooth zoom in preview view
- Good video exposure down to low light conditions
- Low video noise and stabilization in bright light and indoors
- Fairly accurate color in the video
versus
- Multi-shot exposure variation, tone compression
- No zero shutter lag means slower acquisition than the competition
- Some color casts and inaccuracies \
- Image artifacts, including blending, ghosting, and color quantization
- Low level of detail and lack of dynamic range at telephoto zoom
- Unnatural rendering of the face in night portraits with flash
- Great exposure adaptation and instability in the video
- Lack of fine detail and unstable autofocus in the video
- Noise in video in low light conditions
With a SBMARK Camera score of 120, Realme GT 2 Pro does not compete with the top devices in the SBMARK Camera rankings and occupies a mid-ranking position in the Premium segment.
When shooting still images, the camera offers a fairly wide dynamic range and an average texture / noise trade-off in all lighting conditions. In terms of exposure or testers have observed some variation between consecutive shots, and the lack of zero-shutter-lag technology means Realme isn’t as fast to capture as some competitors. Tone compression is evident in some images, as are color blending, ghosting, and quantization artifacts.
Good exposure and wide dynamic range, medium texture / noise compromise
Our lab measurements show that Realme doesn’t use zero-shutter-lag technology when it comes to autofocus. This means that the GT 2 Pro is a bit slower than some competitors in capturing after pressing the shutter button.
This graph shows edge sharpness versus shooting time measured at the AFHDR setting over a series of images. Images were captured 500ms after blurring the target, at 1000 lux with the camera mounted on a tripod.
In this outdoor scene, Realme produces good target exposure and wide dynamic range, but tone compression is visible in the background and blending artifacts are noticeable on the subject’s pants.
Realme GT 2 Pro, good exposure and fairly wide dynamic range but tonal compression and blending artifacts
Xiaomi 12, good exposure, fairly wide dynamic range, slight shadow clipping
The GT 2 Pro does not come with a dedicated camera and instead uses digital zoom for telephoto images. As a result, the zoom performance is rather poor. Image resolution is low at all tele zoom settings, and there doesn’t appear to be any HD processing, resulting in clipping of highlights and shadows in challenging, high-contrast scenes.
Realme GT 2 Pro, long range tele
Realme GT 2 Pro, crop: strong underexposure of the subject, strong loss of detail
Apple iPhone 13 mini, long range tele
Apple iPhone 13 mini, crop: good facial exposure, lack of detail (due to the zoom limitations on the iPhone we cannot get the same shot as the comparison devices)
Xiaomi 12, long range tele
Xiaomi 12, crop: good facial exposure, lack of detail
In video mode, target exposure is quite accurate even in low light, but exposure adaptations and instability are often noted. Video noise is well under control in bright light and when recording indoors, but we observed a loss of fine detail. In low light, the noise becomes more intrusive. The color rendering is quite accurate and the stabilization system works effectively in bright light conditions and indoors. On the downside, the autofocus can be choppy in the video.
Realme GT 2 Pro, slight autofocus instability, sharp exposure transition, low noise, lack of detail
Apple iPhone 13 mini, reliable autofocus, smooth exposure transition, wide dynamic range, good, texture / noise tradeoff
Xiaomi 12, good exposure but cutout in the sky, visible exposure transition, good texture / noise compromise
