Final Thoughts & Helpful Reviews:
In terms of overall performance, realme GT Master Edition unfortunately does not offer a ‘wow’ factor. Nevertheless, it is a all around well built phone for anyone looking for a dependable device within the RM1,500-RM1,700 range.
For us, the two major downside of the device has to be its mono speakers and the lack of color options. With that being said, we definitely recommend opting for the Voyager Grey variant as it feels more premium and looks more unique if compared to the Daybreak Blue option.
