The Material You design features big buttons, shifting colours, and smoother animations. Based on the wallpaper, the system will automatically determine which colours are dominant and apply them across the entire OS. The new update brings an improved privacy dashboard that is claimed to offer a single view into the permissions settings and what data is being accessed and also has an option to revoke it. There are approximate location permissions, which give a rough location to the app that wants to access your location instead of sharing the actual.

Talking about the Realme GT Neo2, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC coupled with Adreno 650 GPU, up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. It is expected to run Android 11 based Realme UI 2.0 custom skin out of the box and pack a 5000mAh battery with 65W fast-charging support.

There is an in-display fingerprint sensor for security and a 16MP snapper on the front for selfies and video chats. Connectivity features include 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and USB Type-C port for charging and data sync.

Realme GT Neo2 sports a 6.62-inch FHD+ E4 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a 600Hz touch sampling rate, 1300 nits brightness, a 500000:1 contrast ratio, and DC dimming. It has triple cameras on the back, comprising a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens with 120-degree FoV, and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots.
