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.

This window is surrounded by the Halo LED lighting. The device comes in multiple color options with its purple variant featuring the industry’s rear panel made with light matte fusion process to offer a textured glass. Meanwhile, the LED lighting is RGB enabled and offers 25 different color options to choose from. The Realme GT Neo 5 sports a tall 6.74 inch OLED display with a resolution of 2772 x 1240 pixels (1.5K), a 144Hz refresh rate, and a 2160Hz PWM dimming.

Specifications

The Realme GT Neo 5 is a flagship grade handset in terms of performance and internal specs. It is equipped with the last gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which is still quite capable. This chipset is paired with up to 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB or 1TB of UFS 3.1 internal storage on the different charging variant. Notably, the smartphone is offered in two distinct models, which feature different charging rates and battery sizes.

The first is the more affordable 150W variant, which features a large 5,000mAh battery pack and support for an impressive 150W fast wired charging. On the other hand, the more expensive variant is powered by a smaller 4,600mAh battery pack that supports the world’s first 240W fast charging support. At the moment, this is the highest charging rate supported by the USB Type C port. According to Realme, the device can charge from 1 percent battery to 20 percent in just 80 seconds of charging.

The Realme GT Neo 5 features a triple camera setup on the rear. This module consists of a 50 megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor that supports OIS. This primary shooter is paired with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens (Sony IMX355), and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. Meanwhile the front houses a 16 megapixel selfie camera.

Realme has confirmed that its upcoming GT Neo 5 smartphone will be launching on February 9 in China. The global launch of the device could happen at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 tech trade show, which will be held by the end of February.

Ahead of the launch, the brand has confirmed many details regarding the device like its chipset details, fast charging capabilities, and design. Now, a new teaser from the brand has revealed the special Purple Edition of the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5.

The teaser informs that the device will have an AG glass back with a matte texture and the signature double stripes that we are used to seeing on the GT series devices from Realme. The color scheme itself is quite pretty and perfectly complements the black color camera module of the smartphone.

On the topic of cameras, the teaser informs that the camera lenses on the Realme GT Neo 5 have the “Transparent double film zero noise technology,” which essentially means that the coating will not leave any residue behind and won’t create any noise particles in images clicked from the device.
