Mine has already arrived in ABX Penang.

Good question, how to transfer apps and data from another android phone to a Realme?

Maybe have to use the Oppo Clone Phone app?

Finally had some free time to unpack and set up the phone this evening. A few things I noticed off the bat:

1. voLTE and voWIFI were there as soon as I inserted my Digi SIM.
2. Realme OS 3 feels pretty similar to Oxygen OS 12 (both with Color OS 12 foundation?)
3. Phone feels nice in hand and I didn't notice any temperature issue at this early stage.
4. I think there was some bloatware pre-installed. Some can be uninstalled, a few I can only disable.

I've decided to set my GT2 Pro up as a new phone to avoid migrating unnecessary crap from the Oneplus 8T.

Not planning to restore apps and data from my old phone but will likely transfer my photo/video collection and maybe whatsapp data too. It's gonna take me a few days to get all this done.

Paper white, bro.

But I'll be honest, it feels not much different than plastic ha ha. The texture is nice to the touch, and it makes the phone feel very light to hold in hand.

Anyone received the free buds with their device?

I was actually expecting to find the earbuds in the phone box because the box was really long!

23cm (9 inches) and so white

Alas, no wireless earbuds to be found.

Sent a message to the seller on Shopee app. Waiting now for a response.

Haven't bought either. The phone comes with a soft SP already applied on the screen and I'm using the case that came in the box.

Not many branded cases available, I fear.

Nice texture on the paper white surface. Looks like plastic, feels like high quality hybrid of plastic and cardboard

Not gonna write on it yet lol. Anyway I'm sure it can be written and rubbed off.

What's this? Naughty realme

Used wireless debugging mode to run ADB commands to remove system apps I don't need like Facebook and Chrome.

Bought 2 cases.

Sure. I personally prefer Ringke and Spigen but they don't make realme cases

Not on mine.

Just no HDR.

OnePlus 8T



Realme GT2 Pro

Sigh but ok la, not a showstopper for me as I prefer watching Netflix on my 11" Xiaomi Pad 5 which supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

Sorry bro, no time to install and run benchmarks.

Stock case is a bit slippery, I can't wait for my nillkin and lychee cases to arrive today.

Getting used to the phone already, it's like a lighter, faster and smoother version of my OnePlus 8T

Here you go, bro.

This is working as designed, I believe. Similar behavior on my OnePlus 8T and my iPhone 11 - pressing just power button to call up Google Assistant or Siri.

5 secs holding down power and vol-up buttons to access power menu.

Anyway, my GT2P was set up as a fresh new phone, I didn't clone or transfer apps and data from my old phone.

IIRC 3 versions and 4 years of security updates.

Even Samsung phones come with preinstalled crap that I have to either uninstall or disable. Case in point, my wife's S20FE (Malaysia set).

BT is solid. Using AAC codec with my Jabra Elite 7 Pro (for music) and SBC codec with my Plantronics Voyager 5200 (for calls).

Speakers are loud but lack depth, I feel.
