The Realme GT is one of the most anticipated phones of the month which will be unveiled on August 18 in India. Globally, it is one of the most competitively priced flagship phones. But it won’t be the only smartphone launching on that day as the Realme GT Master Edition is now confirmed to share the stage
The Realme GT Master Edition will launch in India on August 18 and with this launch, Qualcomm’s latest 7 series chipset will also mark its debut in India. At the same stage, we could also see the Realme laptop being unveiled.
The Realme GT Master Edition and the Master Edition Explorer smartphones were launched in China a couple of weeks ago and the vanilla Master Edition is a mid-range phone while the Master Edition Explorer is a flagship phone powered by Snapdragon 870 SoC. For now, Madhav Sheth, CEO of Realme India has confirmed the launch of the former only.
The Realme GT Master Edition could take on the likes of the OnePlus Nord 2, Poco F3 GT, Xiaomi Mi 11X, and more in the sub Rs 30,000 segment going by its global pricing. Let’s take a look at what the phone brings to the table.
Realme GT Master Edition price and availability
In China, the Realme GT Master Edition is priced at CNY 2,399 (~Rs 28,000) for the 8GB+128GB variant and CNY 2,599 (~Rs 30,000) for the 8GB+256GB variant. Looking at the competition, we’d expect the Realme GT Master Edition price in India to be under Rs 30,000.
The device is available in three colour options 一 Suitcase Gray, Dawn, and Snow Mountain.
The phone will be sold on Flipkart and should be available in a week after the August 18 launch. At that pricing, it could overlap with the recently-unveiled Realme X7 Max.
Realme GT Master Edition design
While the Realme GT Master Edition does offer good on-paper specs, the key highlight of the device is its design. Realme GT Master Edition comes in three colourways 一 Suitcase Gray, Dawn(fantasy), and Snow Mountain(white). While the dawn and snow mountain are regular colour options, the suitcase gray is quite unique.
The Suitcase Gray variant is designed by Japanese designer Naoto Fukusawa, who has also designed other Realme products in the past. This variant comes with a back panel that’s inspired by a travel suitcase that “symbolises the joys of travelling”. The back is made up of high-quality vegan leather material. Realme claims this is also the Industry's first three-dimensional leather which can restore the streamlined grille of the suitcase.
The phone also has a texture on the back that gives a soft touch and there is also a signature of the designer, Naoto. The special edition with leather finish weighs 178g and measures 8.7mm while the regular colours weigh 178g and measure just 8mm.

It is an octa-core chipset built on a 6nm fabrication process with a clock speed of up to 2.4GHz. This is paired with Adreno 642L GPU.
