Display
The GT 20 Pro boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ (1080 x 2436 pixels) resolution. The key highlight for gamers is the smooth 144Hz refresh rate, translating to sharper visuals and a more responsive experience in fast-paced games. Additionally, the display offers a peak brightness of 1300 nits for excellent visibility even in bright environments.
Design
The GT 20 Pro embraces a bold “Cyber Mecha” design with a unique Turbine Blade Pattern on the back. This aesthetic is further accentuated by the customizable Mecha Loop LED Interface. Users can choose from eight color combinations and four lighting effects to personalize their gaming experience. The RGB lights can also sync with games, mimicking the aesthetics of a gaming laptop.
Performance
The GT 20 Pro has the most powerful chipset for a mid-range gaming phone. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate SoC .

Well, the GT 20 Pro tackles this issue with VC Liquid Cooling technology. This helps dissipate heat efficiently during intense gaming sessions, maintaining optimal performance.
Cameras
The rear camera setup features a primary 108MP sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) for sharper photos. While the article mentions slight color saturation in some scenarios, the OIS should be beneficial for low-light photography and shaky hands. Two additional sensors are present: a macro sensor for close-up shots and a depth sensor for portrait mode with background blur. The front-facing camera boasts a 32MP sensor, capable of capturing decent selfies and video calls. Notably, the front camera offers 2K recording, a rarity in this price range.
