The highly anticipated Realme GT Neo 5 has just been launched. The brand new smartphone was announced in the company’s home market of China and arrives with some very notable specs and features. So let’s have a look.

Design & Display

The Chinese smartphone maker has placed an emphasis on the design of this smartphone. Despite top notch specs and features at a budget, the company also aimed to offer a unique design. While the front has a typical design, the rear is where the device stands out. A large camera island on the back isn’t exactly new, but it also includes a transparent window and LED lighting on the right of the camera system. As per official notes, this transparent panel on the back offers users a look at the flagship grade chipset that powers the smartphone.
