It is with great excitement that we announce the launch of the highly anticipated Realme GT Neo 5. In the company’s home market of China, a brand new smartphone was introduced with some impressive specs.
Specifications
When it comes to internal specifications and performance, the Realme GT Neo 5 is a flagship-caliber smartphone. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which is an older but still powerful chip. Depending on the charging model, this chipset can support up to 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB or 1TB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Notably, the smartphone is available in two separate variants with various battery capacities and charging speeds.
The first is the less expensive 150W model, which has a sizable 5,000mAh battery and compatibility for a powerful 150W fast cable charging. The more expensive model, on the other hand, utilises a smaller 4,600mAh battery pack that offers the first 240W fast charging capabilities in the globe. This is currently the maximum charging speed that the USB Type C port is capable of. Realme claims that the smartphone can charge from 1% battery to 20% battery in under 80 seconds.
On the back of the Realme GT Neo 5, there are three cameras. The 50 megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor in this module features optical image stabilization. This camera’s main sensor has a 2 megapixel macro sensor and an 8 megapixel Sony IMX355 ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, a 16 megapixel selfie camera is located on the front.
Design & Display
Its design is being highlighted by a Chinese smartphone maker. Although the company offered top-notch specs and features on a budget, it also strived to bring a unique design to the table. Its rear is what makes the device stand out, while the front has a typical design. It’s nothing unusual to have a big camera island on the back, but it also has a clear window and LED lights to the right of the camera system. According to official notes, customers can see the smartphone’s flagship-grade processor through this glass screen on the rear.
There is Halo LED lighting all around this window. The smartphone is available in a variety of colours, with the purple model sporting the market’s first rear panel manufactured with a light matte fusion process to provide textured glass. The RGB-capable LED lighting, meanwhile, provides 25 different colour options. The Realme GT Neo 5 has a large 6.74-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
