I've watched a few different reviews on this phone and yours was the most informative. I agree with your comment that it should be released to the global market. I'm in the UK and I would buy it over the S24 ultra, mainly on price and camera. I currently have the S23 Ultra and I think I've used the S pen twice. The only other phones I would consider are the Oneplus 12 and Vivo x100 pro. Keep up the good work
Yes, we really need this phone in the Malaysian market. As of now, there's not much competition in the budget-flagship category in MY. So most people just go straight to the premium flagships or midrange devices. This phone and maybe K70, K70 Pro really could sell well within this budget-flagship category as there's not much competition.
@@mrxxavier9081 I don't like curved displays either but I am not gonna choose an inferior phone over the GT5 Pro ever in my life. The GT5 Pro is so much better it's not even funny.
Watching this review on my GT5 Pro 1TB/16GB model here in the UK. Absolutely incredible phone, the best I've had in years (and I've had many!) Incredible display, insane battery life, great cameras, brilliant performance, very good speakers with spacial audio, and all wrapped in premium hardware. I love Realme UI, and once you remember to turn on notifications for any apps you want them from, the only things you're losing out on (vs a global device) is no Android Auto and no notifications on the AOD. Best device for the price in a long time! Update: the device also never gets hot unless you're playing new 3d titles with high refresh rate enabled. 100w charging is also great, tops the phone up from flat in about 25 minutes. Vegan leather and slim metal frame ooze quality and great craftsmanship. Incredible phone.
@@sakibsadman317 it will show icons and notifications for system apps and other popular Chinese apps, but nothing outside of that - no WhatsApp, Facebook, email etc.
@@ZachTechonebattery lasting two days with light use. If you want to kill it in a day you'd need 8-9 hours of screen on time. I use it with 144hz and max screen resolution on.
Global launch is slow for Realme. Back in 2023, China released GT5 Pro and Malaysia just started selling GT3 240W. Main point is that the GT5Pro's retail price in China is similar to the retail price of GT3 in Malaysia
It takes months and months for a global release. People won't wait so long. They will buy the OnePlus 12. Why does it takes so long Realme for a global release in Europe ?
Listed for 430 euros or about 2.2k..but if this phone come to malaysia..it will cost at least 2499..some sellers in shopee charge imported set of gt5 pro for as high as 2.7k..maybe if this come here they will be price as high as 2999
You should make the background music a bit quieter.. English is not my mother language and it's harder to understand with the loud music.. 😂 But.. nice vid ! ❤
The only downside is the video.. video is unstable if you walk or panning around, thats why you don't see video samples here, they better do update the camera software or better buy x100 because same price range
@@Cherrylady168 hi there bro, just want to reconfirm, does it mean we can use local sim in malaysia with this china version GT5 Pro for 4G and 5G? Thank you.
Have one that will arrive in a few days. I live in Norway. The biggest bummer is a lack of HDR and L1. Also a limited number of LTE bands. But it should be well usable and a cheap solution for me. One thing I am unsure of is the quality of the glass.

Hi Guys i want your opinion, i am thinking to buy oneplus 12 or realme gt 5 pro, and all what matters to me is the battery, since both they have 5400 i dont know which one is going to be more sufficient, i use my phone on powermode always
realme gt5 pro. it has better cooling system which leaves the battery at cool temperature at all time which equates to better battery efficiency . it also has better efficient display, ltpo at 0.5Hz vs 1Hz on the oneplus. i recommend you go with the glass or namely, the black variant of the realme gt5 pro because it takes full advantage of the large cooling system vs the leather variant which would store more heat compared to the black variant
Awesome? Wait until you use the camera and if you are working with all the office apps, it will show it's true "awesomeness" in making your life miserable. Sincerely - ex Realme user.
This looks like a great phone and I'm interested in getting it in the Global Version. I hope that it will come out in the Global Version with the same fast charging speed and long-lasting battery throughout the days. Hopefully it'll also have a screen recorder that records video chat calls with sound too.

Too bad this isn't global. Would've been a great successor to the GT2 Pro.
I agree with you. I use GT 2 Pro and I'm so excited about GT 5 Pro, but as i heard , China version is also okay, and everything works normal..
Gt5 are not good enough ya

@@nnbi lmao 🤣 kinda true
Not only are they late but also markup price is too high. It's why I'd rather buy Realme AP set instead. Poco does a lot better in pricing.

Lol dont wait global just buy with china rom and unlock bootloader and reinstall global rom found it on internet 😁@@glenn1964
I'm using this smartphone and this phone is crazy for it's price... Global launch is a yes for the world!
How is the experience with the Chinese rom. I am interested in the device
They stated that they will not launch it internationally, that is why i have it imported and amazing phone
Awesome work Lim! So glad to witness such great shots in Nibong Tebal.
I buyed it today waiting arrival to estonia 🥰😍
yes please make it available at below rm 2700
Hi lim!! the background music is abit too loud can't hear what you're explaining 😢
This phone looks like Huawei and Honor but somehow look better 😅😅
Yes because realme copy the design its not just a looks like
Its an oppo find x6 design which is their father@@ThornedZ
Yup realme better with Design❤❤
They all are under the same parent company.. Duuuhhh..
Honor ui also looks like apple but apple better😂

I use a GT2Pro with sustainability. Glad to know this is vegan leather and not plastic
Can I use Google?
A definitely yes for me... having been waiting for this phone to launch but seems like chances are slim...a really solid phone from realme
Buy with fastech they will unlock region lock and install global rom
Any trade off for using china set phone in malaysia compare to global set?
Its telephoto cam is usually the main camera for other flagship/upper midrange phones lol..
Hello love your vids. You should do a tutorial how to install google services in china rom
Can't wait for this baby to depreciate like a rock so that I can buy it haha.
You should make the background music a bit quieter.. English is not my mother language and it's harder to understand with the loud music.. 😂 But.. nice vid ! ❤
How u buy that phone?
How about the durability of that phone and the air gesture
The only downside is the video.. video is unstable if you walk or panning around, thats why you don't see video samples here, they better do update the camera software or better buy x100 because same price range
This is the Real Flagship Killer ! 😊
how did you get google services?
love you lim review ❤❤
Why are they not available in europe?
Tempting but curved screen scares me lol..but then k70 series feels underwhelming
Yooo my man @limreviews what is this ? I want a full review a minimum 30 min long review of this masterpiece phone
Lim can you please clarify that if the phone is region locked outside of China? Are you able to use incoming and outgoing calls outside of China?
Yes for sure! Mine got region locked
@@Cherrylady168 my device got locked within 4 days of purchase. I had to spend about $30 to unlock from local technician.

@@dearme883 you can't call out or receive a call! only internet available. It's work like normal phone only if you activate IMEI

I hear the music very well, but can hardly hear you
Hi guys, by default, this model got region lock if buy from China seller? Is the 5g and everything work well in Malaysia/Singapore? Thanks.
yeah didn't realised you have this comfy work space😉👍big SHOUTOUT to Realme
Do u know if 5G china version works or not outside china?
When it is launched in Bahrain
Been using flat screens for a while now. Will probably never go curved 😪

One thing I am unsure of is the quality of the glass.
在中国不太好买 我还是喜欢线下买 买一个k70 pro
It's not coming to Sinkapore.
Updates ??
Best flagship with low price?
Global or China??
Available in Malaysia? ?
Can the phone work with our local Sim card?
Your videos are so calming👌😅🤗
hey tell me this can update a14 ?
Yo me compré un oppo hacce 3 años y aún funcional como el primer día y nuncae ha fallado, jamás pagaré un euro a apple mi anterior movil fue un iphone y no me gustó
but is it practically the same as a oneplus 12?
Please answer this : Can this phone work with worlwide 4G LTE carrier ?? Like in Europe and Africa ??
I guess it’s a no ?
No Oneplus 12 review?
Realme seems to Not listen to thier Community, because they don't release a global variant.
Are you staying in Penang? Cause I recognise u took a photo of the Vertu Resort Condominium at 2:24 😁
I'd like it in UK
This will come in malaysia maybe in 2026 lol..imagine they only bringing gt3 with 8+ gen 1 this year/last year..gt5 with 8 gen 2 still to come lol
China phones are great but guaranteed OS and security updates sucks.
now class leading are Google Pixels and Samseng phones.
True. I really hope those Chinese brands can provide stable and longer OS support
Eh 3 years of android update + 4 years of security update is good enough.
@@hitie6792 not many of China phone provides that. So far only OnePlus flagship and maybe selected Xiaomi models.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Reduce the volume of the background music.😐

Oneplus 12 for 5g/4g bands +, faster os update
Gt5 pro for "gaming" also better display altho most wouldnt notice a difference
realme gt5 pro.
it has better cooling system which leaves the battery at cool temperature at all time which equates to better battery efficiency . it also has better efficient display, ltpo at 0.5Hz vs 1Hz on the oneplus.

What happened to the gt4??😂

looks good, please go global
How many years os updates?
2 or 3
not the longest among others. 3 Android generations ( until android 17) plus 4 years of security
@@euricchong8788 they need to step up the game
powerful but super expensive..
Not really expensive lol.
nah its among the cheapest flagship you could get
Please stop promoting brands and products that don't have a plan to release internationally. Reviews are useless to viewers.
1 like if you like and love realme smartphone
Realme GT 2 Pro resolution display better than this phone
whats your point?
GT Pro 2 is superior to this. "Flagship" my ass
Is there is three camera then why there is 4th circular design can someone explain me please
No need for the background music
Designe Copy paste Vivo x100pro
