Realme GT Neo just made its official debut with a Dimensity 1200 chipset and bold design of the back panel. The phone is almost identical to the Realme GT 5G, down to the measurements, cameras and screen. The Realme GT Neo is built around a 6.43” Super AMOLED screen with a punch hole in the right corner. It has Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate.
The 6nm Dimensity 1200 chipset by Mediatek
is coupled with three RAM options - 6GB, 8GB and 12GB - and two UFS 3.1 storage
choices - 64GB and 128GB. The Realme GT Neo has a 64MP main shooter on the
back, flanked by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle cam and a 2MP macro sensor. The
front-facing camera has a 16MP sensor.
While the Realme GT Neo has the same
battery capacity as its Snapdragon 888-powered sibling - 4,500 mAh - the
charging standard is downgraded to 50W. However, the company will ship the very
same 65W charger in the retail box. The Realme GT Neo's design includes a
monochrome sticker on the back that shines in all colors of the rainbow under
lighting. This touch adds a bit of glamour to the three color options - Fantasy
gradient, Geek Silver, or Hacker Black.
The phone is clearly oriented towards
gamers, and for that Realme brought dual graphite plates and a liquid cooling
solution to the GT Neo internals. Even with all these additions, the weight is
very reasonable at 179 grams. Software-wise, the phone comes with Realme UI 2.0
out of the box, which is based on Android 11. There is also a GT Mode for
dedicating as much performance as possible to the game at hand.
The Realme GT Neo's 6/128GB version goes
for CNY 1,799, the 8/128GB is CNY 1,899 and the , and 12/256GB version retails
for CNY 2,399. Those prices convert to between US$ 275 and US$ 365. The first flash
sale is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 7 on Realme’s own website and major
online retailers in China.
