After months of anticipation, Realme has officially unveiled the next-generation’s GT Neo5 smartphone which boasts several noteworthy upgrades over last year’s GT Neo4 including a more powerful chipset as well as a much faster charging speed.
Right off the bat, the new Realme GT Neo5 features a vibrant-looking 6.74” AMOLED display sporting a FHD+ screen resolution as well as a fast 144Hz refresh rate which promises a smooth user experience. On top of that, it also comes with other advanced features such as 10-bit color depth as well as 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.
Over on the rear side, the phone has a large rectangular-shaped panel which houses a triple-camera system on the left and a decorative LED lighting on the right side that serves as notification indicator. Speaking of the cameras, they include a 50 megapixels Sony IMX890 main camera, 8 megapixels ultra-wide camera and a 2 megapixels macro unit for close-up photography.
Under the hood, the Realme GT Neo5 is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset which will be paired with an ample 16GB RAM and 1TB onboard storage. Likewise, the phone also features an intricate 8-component cooling solution to keep the phone’s temperature during prolonged gaming sessions.
Coming to the battery and charging side of things, the Realme GT Neo5 is actually available in two different variants with 240W and 150W charging speed respectively. The 240W variant will feature a 4,600mAh battery, while the 150W variant gets a slightly larger 5,000mAh battery.
Software-wise, the Realme GT Neo5 will be shipped with the latest Realme UI 4.0 based on Android 13 OS out of the box. Those who’re interested can pick the phone from three different colorways such as Black, White and Purple.
As far as pricing is concerned, the Realme GT Neo5 comes with a starting price of 2,499 Yuan ($368) for the 150W variant and 3,199 Yuan ($470) for the 240W variant. The device is also expected to be launched globally in the coming months, though there might be some differences in terms of specs.
