Great Super AMOLED, 120Hz, HDR10 and HLG support.

No IP rated water/dust resistance; oleophobic coating is not great.

Average display ; Plastic body ; Too much throttling in gaming

So Realme, we need to talk. I think you really need to start introspecting. While your phones are not bad, they lack ambition. Heck, Poco has already announced the F3 GT with Dimensity 1200 SoC for India, which is a rebranded Redmi K40 Gaming Edition I...
