Various collaboration smartphones are sold around the world, but the "realme 15 Pro 5G Game of Thrones" introduced here is a product in collaboration with "Game of Thrones," a dark fantasy set in the Middle Ages.
The drama "Game of Thrones" is a massive content series consisting of 8 seasons and 73 episodes distributed by HBO.
This collaboration model has the atmosphere of something that came out of a game world.
This time, we will focus on the packaging and exterior.
The "realme 15 Pro 5G Game of Thrones" That GoT Fans Will Covet
First, let's look at the product package.
People who know Game of Thrones might feel that this is inspired by a treasure chest of the royal family of Westeros.
On the other hand, even those who don't know the series will feel a sense of excitement, wondering, "What will come out when I open this treasure chest?"
It is not locked like a real treasure chest.
When you lift the lock part, the treasure chest opens horizontally.
Various things become visible inside, and the very medieval design raises expectations.
When fully opened, the "Iron Throne," which is the symbol of the royalty of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, appears.
It uses the technique of a pop-up book, and combined with the map that suggests the continent, the package clearly expresses the world of Game of Thrones beautifully.
Furthermore, the ground part opens from the center to the left and right.
You can access the inside with the feeling of entering a secret area.
The case is shaped to match the design of the camera part on the back of the device.
Also, the SIM ejector tool is designed to imitate the "Hand of the King" badge, a symbolic item worn on the chest by the King's attendant in the drama that appears in Game of Thrones.
A USB charger and cable are also included on the left side of the package, but they were finished in black and had no Game of Thrones design.
When you open the scroll that is placed on top, one side has the product name, and the back side is blank.
However, it is said that text will emerge when this scroll is exposed to sunlight.
Although we have not tried it this time, the little included accessories are sure to appeal to Game of Thrones fans.
A thin dividing plate is included on the left side of the package, and inside are postcards and stickers of the characters.
These are also collector's items.
When the device is started, the Game of Thrones logo is displayed.
There is no special startup sound, just a visual presentation.
After startup, a dedicated theme greets you.
The icon set is circular with a medieval atmosphere in gold.
The default wallpaper is a red and gold "Dragonfire" (Targaryen family motif) wallpaper depicting dragons and flames.
It is also said that you can choose a cold-colored, ice wallpaper inspired by "Ice" (House Stark, etc.).
The specifications as a smartphone are as follows:
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4
- Display: 6.8 inches, 144Hz, 6500nits
- Front Camera: 50 megapixels
- Rear Camera: 50 megapixels wide-angle, 50 megapixels ultra-wide-angle
- Battery: 7,000mAh, 80W charging support
Even with the cover attached, the exterior design image does not change significantly.
The 3D carvings in the shape of dragon claws on the camera part and the three-headed dragon emblem have the noble atmosphere that symbolizes the Targaryen family.
The device size is 162.26×76.15×7.84mm and the weight is 187g.
The gold frame exudes a sense of luxury and retro style.
If you look closely at the camera part, numerous icons are printed on the base.
These are the emblems and house banners of the various noble houses of Westeros that appear in Game of Thrones.
Furthermore, pay attention to the wide-angle camera.
The edge of the camera is an LED light, which can be lit up in custom colors and custom patterns according to notifications and apps.
Although it is a mid-high range model as a smartphone, it is equipped with a high-refresh-rate display as a gaming model.
Also, a settings app for game play is pre-installed.
Among these, "Games" is an app store dedicated to games, ideal for users who only want to look for games.
"Game Center" provides various tools, such as stopping smartphone notifications during a game and setting up automatic game updates.
Although we omit the details, features such as the following can be used:
- Game Toolkit
- Move game icons to “Games”
- Update settings
- Answer calls on speaker
- Notification style
- Brightness lock
- Background activity control
In addition, there is also the Game of Thrones spin-off game "Game of Thrones: DRAGONFIRE."
Game of Thrones fans will be able to immerse themselves in this world.
The realme 15 Pro 5G is a mid-high range model, but game play operation is also good.
Subjectively, it feels like it has the performance of a high-end model from two generations ago, in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 class.
Since it also has a large 7000 square mm air-flow vapor chamber built-in, it also excels in heat dissipation capacity.
There is also an even more interesting function regarding heat.
The material on the back is equipped with a color change technology that changes color when heat is applied.
Imagining a dragon's flame, the color changes from black to red when the temperature exceeds 44 degrees Celsius.
This is said to be based on the Targaryen family motto, "Fire and Blood."
Finally, the camera.
Since there is no telephoto lens, the app UI feels simple and easy to use.
The menu offers 0.6x, 1x, and 2x photos, and supports up to 20x digital zoom.
It has common modes such as night mode and high-quality shooting.
AI-based image quality correction is also good.
Various watermarks can be added to the photos taken.
This model also has a built-in exclusive watermark based on the Game of Thrones motif.
This makes taking photos a little more fun.
Since the sales countries and regions are limited, it is difficult for some people to see this model reaffirms the seriousness of collaboration products from Chinese manufacturers.
Also, considering the build quality of the device itself and its performance as a gaming model, the realme 15 Pro 5G Game of Thrones is a well-finished product that can be given a passing grade even as a collaboration model.
