Realme recently announced the Neo series will now operate independently within its lineup, establishing itself as a mid-range e-sports flagship. Xu Qi, Realme’s vice president, confirmed this move as part of a strategy to distinguish the Neo lineup from the premium GT series.
Realme Neo7 outperforms GT Neo6 in AnTuTu
The latest news is about the realme Neo7, which is shaping up to be a mid-range gaming powerhouse. According to a new leak by tipster Digital Chat Station, the upcoming device has achieved an impressive AnTuTu score of 2.4 million points. This is a significant leap compared to its predecessor, the realme GT Neo6, which scored around 1.5 million. Alongside its Dimensity 9300+ chipset, the phone will pack a massive 7,000mAh battery, further cementing its focus on performance.
For those confused about the lineup, there indeed wasn’t a realme Neo6, but a GT branded model, the GT Neo6. The AnTuTu listing indeed mentions the phone as realme Neo6. Nonetheless, the use of last year’s flagship Dimensity 9300+ paired with the massive 7000mAh battery suggests a focus on performance.
For further context, the company launched the GT Neo6 in May this year with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, UFS 4.0 storage, and a much smaller 5500mAh battery. However, the GT Neo6 offers a blazing fast 120W fast charging, which is also expected to be seen with the upcoming Neo7, especially considering the larger capacity.
In other aspects, the previous GT Neo6 packs a 6.78-inch display which is curved on two sides. While with the 5500mAh battery, the phone measures 8.7mm thick and weighs 191g, realme is likely to utilize the new high-density silicon anode battery tech with the Neo7, making it thinner and lighter than expected. For context on this aspect, the GT7 Pro weighs only 4g higher than its predecessor, the GT5 Pro, which packs an 1100mAh lower capacity. So the Neo7 is expected to offer a reasonably good in-hand experience. That said, more specs are likely to emerge going forward.
