Realme will give its flagship smartphone a new ultra-wide-angle sensor with a 150-degree field of view (FoV). This is claimed to be 273 percent better than the 89-degrees field-of-view of the primary wide-angle sensor. Realme has also introduced a fisheye mode that is claimed to make photographs more appealing with its "ultra-long depth of field effect."

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has equipped Realme GT 2 Pro with an Antenna Array Matrix System that consists of the world's first "Ultra Wide Band HyperSmart Antenna Switching" system. This system consists of 12 antennas covering all sides of the smartphone and is claimed to support mainstream bands in almost all directions with the same signal strength. Additionally, Realme GT 2 Pro will also get a Wi-Fi enhancer and 360-degree NFC support.

Realme GT 2 Pro series of smartphones has been co-designed by renowned Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, much like the previous Master Edition smartphones from Realme.
