The Realme GT and the mid-range version GT Master Edition have finally launched in India, and here’s everything you need to know about them.

Will the Realme GT Explorer Master Edition Launch in India?
We don’t have any official confirmation from Realme regarding this, but considering that the official Realme India social media handles have been teasing only GT and GT Masters Edition, the chances of Master Edition coming to India are slim.
For those who don’t know what Explorer Master Edition is (I bet most of you don’t due to the confusing lineup), Explorer Master Edition is essentially the Master Edition with a Snapdragon 870 (A slightly improved version of Snapdragon 865).
