We reported earlier this week that Honor will announce the Honor 50 series in May. A new leak has now released more details of the Honor 50 and a higher-end model that will launch as the Honor 50 Pro.
The Honor 50 will arrive next month but a tweet by Teme (特米) (@RODENT950) says that the Honor 50 Pro will follow in July. We are not sure if these are the only two models Honor has planned or if there will be more. The tweet also revealed the chipset that will power the two phones.
For the Honor 50 Pro, Teme says the phone will have a Snapdragon chipset but didn’t say which one. Will it be a Snapdragon 700 series chipset or a Snapdragon 800 series chipset? Time will tell.
There is no news yet on a planned global release and if it will have Google Mobile Services if it does launch outside China.

Design
The Realme X7 Pro Ultra not only wins this design comparison, but it is the best Realme phone when it comes to aesthetics. It is the only smartphone released by this brand to sport a curved edge-to-edge display. Further, it is thinner and lighter than the Realme GT and the GT Neo. On the other hand, Realme GT 5G comes in a special leather version with a very original design. Even the Realme GT Neo has an interesting design, especially the Final Fantasy color variant. But the Realme X7 Pro Ultra is the most beautiful one.
Display
There are no huge differences between the displays of these three phones. The Realme GT 5G and the Realme GT Neo offer exactly the same panel: a Super AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.43 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Realme X7 Pro Ultra is slightly inferior because it has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but it still offers a Super AMOLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution and very high brightness. The diagonal in this case is 6.55 inches, but with curved edges.
Hardware/Software
If you need the most powerful handset, go for the Realme GT 5G without thinking twice. It has the best chipset in the Android market: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform released by Qualcomm. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. You can get up to 12/256 GB with Realme GT Neo as well, but the processor is weaker: we are talking about the Dimensity 1200 by MediaTek, still a flagship processor but less powerful than Snapdragon 888. The Realme X7 Pro Ultra takes the last position with its Dimensity 1000+ chipset. All the phones run Android 11 out of the box.
Camera
The rear camera setup is exactly the same on all of these devices and it is midrange-class. It includes a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera. There is only a difference: the Realme X7 Pro Ultra has a better 32 MP selfie camera, while Realme GT and GT Neo pack a 16 MP front camera.
Battery
Realme GT, GT Neo, and X7 Pro Ultra pack the same dual-cell 4500 mAh battery, but the Realme GT 5G has a processor built with a better production process, so it has lower energy consumption.
Realme GT 5G vs Realme GT Neo vs Realme X7 Pro Ultra: Price
Realme GT 5G starts from about €424/$510 in China, Realme GT Neo costs about €260/$312 in its base variant, and Realme X7 Pro Ultra starts from €310/$373. The Realme GT 5G is the most advanced device of this comparison, the Realme GT Neo provides the highest value for money, and the Realme X7 Pro Ultra offers the best design and front camera.

We recently published our review of the Realme GT. While it’s been less than a month since we met the GT, the brand has launched another new phone, the Realme GT Neo, which is more cost-effective than the GT model. And I believe everyone is interested in MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 as well. So will the Realme GT Neo become the best budget phone to buy this month? Let’s find out!
Realme GT NEO Review: Design & Display
To be honest, I like the color of the GT Neo better than the unchanging color of the Realme GT. Although the top left corner of the camera design is the same, the color and Realme logo is designed with great care. The Realme logo and slogan are hidden inside a glossy stripe on the left. And this logo is designed to imitate the trendy brand logo, framed in a box.
Interestingly, the color we have is called the “Final Fantasy”. But it has nothing to do with the game with the same name. Instead, it is almost the same color as the Redmi K40, with the only major difference being the GT Neo’s frosted material is a bit coarser than the K40.
NFC and 3.5mm headphone jack are both present. But because of the need to control costs, its frame and back are made of plastic. So it manages to keep the weight down to 180g. Combined with its 6.4-inch size, it feels great in the hand. But this makes the back easy to scratch, and the glossy part stained with fingerprints is also more difficult to wipe off than glass.
The realme GT Neo is equipped with a 1080P, 120Hz refresh rate Super AMOLED screen. This screen is supposed to be the same screen as the realme GT. The fingerprint recognition method is your usual under-screen sensor. While the fingerprint recognition position is relatively lower, because it’s only 6.43 inches, it’s not uncomfortable to use. Also, since it is powered by MTK’s processor, the HDR decoding problem is still the same as realme 8. The colors will be significantly darker when watching HDR videos.
Realme GT NEO Review: Hardware & Performance
MTK’s new-generation flagship chip, the Dimensity 1200, was first launched on the realme GT Neo. Since realme dares to put a MediaTek chip on its GT series, it means they are very optimistic about this chip. In 3DMark the phone scores 4244, while in Geekbench 5 it scores 974 on single-core, and 3331 on multi-core tests. realme GT Neo’s Dimensity 1200 scores almost the same as K40’s Snapdragon 870 in the Benchmark test. So, is Dimensity 1200 a winner? Let’s find out.
The frame rate curve of PUBG is very smooth. It looks like there is no problem. However, because of the HDR Graphics Ultra frame rate, PUBG cannot enable HDR Graphics Extreme frame rate on the Realme GT Neo. And to enable Extreme frame rate you have to turn down Graphics to Smooth.
The frame rate limitation problem is also present in Brightridge. The maximum frame rate is locked at 35fps, but Genshin Impact runs at 60fps normally. I have to say, with GT mode on, it averages at 49fps. This average frame rate is almost as good as the Snapdragon 870 on the Redmi K40. And probably because of the all-plastic body. Surprisingly, the body does not heat up much.
But Dimensity 1200 is not perfect. For example, you’d experience more lags than the Snapdragon 870 powered K40. If you want the ultimate gaming experience, the GT Neo may not be the best option. But the gameplay is quite stable, and at this price point, its gaming performance can be considered to be fine.
Realme GT NEO Review: Camera
The main camera on the Realme GT Neo is a 64MP IMX682. The other two cameras are an 8mp ultra-wide lens and a 2mp macro lens. Although the camera module of realme GT Neo is exactly the same as that of realme GT. But MTK’s optimization of the camera is much more difficult than Qualcomm’s chip. So how is the overall performance?
Main Camera & Night Mode
The main camera maintains the color style of realme GT. The colors are intense and the contrast is high. No significant noise reduction in order to retain details. The night scene in auto mode is also great. However, the stability of the night mode needs to be improved. The night mode is almost the same as the auto mode when there is sufficient light. But once the light is very low, the night mode does not perform as well as the auto mode. The exposure is not sufficient, and the details are almost lost.

Night Mode
Ultra Wide Angle Camera
The ultra-wide lens is not as good as the main camera. In the daytime, after triggering HDR you’ll probably notice a lot of noise in the highlighted area. The overall sample is often bad. The purple-fringing issue is still there, but it’s much better than the realme GT. At night with the ultra-wide lens, the picture is like a veil. There’s significant detail loss. It does improve when you turn on the night mode. However, in extremely low light conditions, the image is underexposed. The photo is almost unusable.
Night Mode
Night Mode
Macro Camera & Video Shooting
The macro lens is the same as the realme GT, with the closest focusing distance of 4cm. the image quality is not as good as the main camera. Let’s pretend it doesn’t exist.
Also just don’t expect realme GT Neo to shoot good videos. The stabilization of the main camera is very weak and almost unusable. As for the performance of the ultra-wide lens, I won’t say much, you just look at the video (please check our video review at the top) and you will know what I want to say.
Realme GT NEO Review: Battery Life & Charging
Charging Speed
Although realme GT Neo is not equipped with a 65w charging adapter, the provided 50w charging power is also considered very powerful. There is a charger and charging cable in the box. In our test, it took ten minutes to reach 35%, thirty minutes to 75%, and a full charge takes only around 51 minutes.
Battery Life
The 4500mAh battery will also ensure average phone life. Half an hour of TikTok and half an hour of 1080p video each consumed 6%, half an hour of the Genshin Impact consumed 17%. 23 minutes of PUBG consumed 6%, of course, this is the result in the HDR Graphics Ultra frame rate setting.
The Realme GT Neo is certainly a good phone. It has good looks with decent performance. And the main camera is not bad for taking pictures. The most important thing is that it is still very well priced. If you want to buy a budget phone, it is definitely a choice you can’t ignore.

The Vivo X60 series already has six members but it appears Vivo is not done with it yet as it plans to announce yet another model. A new leak has revealed that this new model will launch as the Vivo X60t Pro but there is no info on when it will arrive.
According to Digital Chat Station, Vivo has plans to announce a Pro version of the Vivo X60t. The X60t was announced early this month and it has a Dimensity 1100 chipset powering it. This model was released for the offline market.
If we were to take a wild guess as to the chipset that will power the Vivo X60t Pro, we will say it is the Dimensity 1200. The Vivo X60 series already has models powered by the Snapdragon 888, Snapdragon 870, Exynos 1080, and Dimensity 1100, so it makes sense to launch a model with the Dimensity 1200 SoC.
For the rest of the specs, we don’t know if Vivo will replicate what it did with the Vivo X60t which differs from the regular X60 based on chipset only. If that is the case, then the Vivo X60t Pro should only differ from the Exynos 1080-powered Vivo X60 Pro (Chinese version) based on chipsets.
The Vivo X60 Pro has a 6.56-inch curved AMOLED display with a centered punch hole, a 1080p resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. For its camera setup, the phone comes with a 48MP primary rear camera, an 8MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS and 5x optical zoom, a 13MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, and a 13MP ultrawide angle camera. There is a 32MP sensor in front for selfies.
Vivo ships the phone in only one configuration – 12GB RAM + 256GB of non-expandable storage. It has a 4200mAh battery capacity with support for 33W fast wired charging and runs Android 11.

OPPO has launched several phones under the Reno5 series so far. We have devices like the recently launched Reno5 K, Reno5 Z, and others like the Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, Reno5 Pro+ 5G, Reno5 4G, and Reno5 Lite 4G. Now, renowned leaker Evan Blass has shared renders of yet another device called the Reno5 A.
The renders shared by Evan on Voice showsOPPO Reno5 A in two colors. The front of the device has a display with a single punch-hole for a selfie camera at the top left. This isn’t surprising considering the majority of the Reno5 series has boasted the selfie camera at a similar position.
Moving on, the rear of the device shows a quad-camera layout. The layout itself is slimmer like the Reno5 K but has a design inspired by the likes of Reno5 Z. The difference we see here is that it doesn’t have a separate AI logo, and has camera details written between the fourth sensor and LED flash.
The rear also has a physical fingerprint sensor which is surprising, to say the least. Rounding up the buttons that are visible, we have a Power button on the right and volume buttons to the left.

As for the specs, the camera layout shows that it will have a 64MP primary sensor. Further, the device is said to feature a 6.5-inch display which could be an LCD panel but let’s wait for official info on the same.
Apart from this, we don’t have much information on the Reno5 A, which is said to be codenamed “Ciri” internally. Considering the high-quality renders are out now, the launch could happen anytime soon.
