Ridduan Ismail got his hands on the realme GT NEO 3 and shares his thoughts on the racing-inspired mobile phone

“Would it be basic if I said I can’t leave home without my phone, wallet and keys?” laughs Ridduan who is a photographer and co-founder of Topboi Citizen agency.

Meanwhile, when it comes to the top three apps and features that his phone needs, he cites an e-hailing app, photo editing apps, and last but definitely not least, a good quality camera. While the former two depends on personal preferences, the camera on a phone has to be good from the get-go. And Ridduan is pretty amazed by not just the quality of photos produced by the realme GT NEO 3, but also by the phone’s fast autofocusing and image processing capabilities – even in mid-to-low-light settings. This is of course made possible thanks to the combination of the 50 megapixel Sony IMX766 image sensor alongside the phone’s Imagiq 780 ISP of its Deminsity 8100 Processor.

What he’s most excited about when it comes to the camera though, is the street photography mode of the realme GT NEO 3, which is right up his alley, having also transitioned from doing wedding photography when he was fresh out of university to the more colourful and vigorous world of street fashion photography.

With the street photography mode, that was developed from the ground up by realme itself, there’s access to photo taking features like DIS Snapshot, Instant Focus, and Quick Zoom to deliver an effortless and quick mobile street photography experience, ensuring you capture the right moment in that split second when necessary. Thus making his, and any other aspiring street photographers, job all the more easier and efficient.

Obviously having a keen eye for design and style, with a preference for minimalist looks, Ridduan comments that the realme GT NEO 3 suits his vibe, and he’s especially happy that the phone is fingerprint resistant and ergonomic.
