The Realme GT Neo series has carved a niche for itself in the smartphone market, offering capable devices with a focus on performance and style. The upcoming Realme GT Neo 6 SE is poised to continue this legacy, with leaks suggesting a compelling package for mid-range users. Here’s a look at what we can expect.

Realme GT Neo 6 SE Launch Announcement

1. Launch Announcement

The excitement around the Realme GT Neo 6 SE kicked off with Realme’s teaser video earlier this week, which offered a glimpse into the design of the upcoming device. Realme has officially announced the launch date of the GT Neo 6 SE, which is scheduled for April 11 at 2 PM local time in China. This launch sets the stage for an interesting showdown, as Xiaomi’s Redmi Turbo 3 is also slated for release around the same time.

2. Processor and Performance

Realme GT Neo 6 SE will feature the recently launched Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor, Qualcomm’s answer to flagship-killer devices. This chipset is expected to deliver powerful performance, further enhanced by up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM.

Leaked benchmark scores suggest it can rival the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3’s performance, which will power the upcoming Redmi Turbo 3. For storage, users can expect up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, ensuring ample space for apps, games, and media.

3. Display & Design

The GT Neo 6 SE is confirmed to sport a slightly curved screen with an impressive screen-to-body ratio (94.2%), which is rumored to be 6.78 inches with a BOE 8T LTPO AMOLED panel.

This panel is expected to offer a 1.5K resolution (2780 x 1264 pixels) and a refresh rate of 120Hz (adaptive 0.5-120Hz). Additionally, the display is said to reach a peak brightness of 6,000 nits, making it one of the brightest screens available in the market, suitable for use in various lighting conditions. The display will also feature 2160Hz PWM dimming technology to reduce eye strain.

Realme GT Neo 6 SE sports dual camera rings housing two cameras alongside a dual-LED flash unit. The primary sensor is expected to be a 50-megapixel (confirmed) Sony sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and AI features for capturing sharp and clear photos even in low-light conditions.

5. Software & Battery

The GT Neo 6 SE is expected to run on Realme UI 5 based on Android 14. The device is rumored to pack a 5,500mAh battery coupled with 100W fast charging. This combination should ensure that the phone not only lasts through a day of heavy usage but also recharges quickly.
