Realme has confirmed the launch of the Realme GT Neo 5 smartphone. The brand has officially teased the upcoming offering on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo. The launch date remains unknown but the device is set to debut next month in the home country. Realme has also confirmed that the upcoming GT Neo 5 will be the world’s first smartphone to support 240W fast charging. The technology was unveiled by the brand last month.
The poster does not reveal any key details
about the Realme GT Neo 5 apart from its arrival next month and the fast
charging tech. However, the device has been spotted in leaks and on various
certification sites in the past. The upcoming offering will arrive as the
successor to the last year’s Realme GT Neo 3. The brand is skipping the GT Neo
4 moniker since the number ‘4’ is considered unlucky in China. As per tipster
Abhishek Yadav, the GT Neo 5 is expected to debut on February 8th. We will know
the official launch date in the coming days.
A poster of the Realme GT Neo 5 that circulated
on Weibo last month revealed that the smartphone will be powered by Snapdragon
8+ Gen 1 processor under the hood. It will feature a Sony IMX890 primary camera
sensor with support for optical image stabilisation (OIS). Leaked renders of
the smartphone revealed a dual-tone design with the camera module in Black
colour and the rest of the back panel in White. It has an elongated rectangular
island that also houses another vertical rectangular module.
As for the core specifications, the Realme
GT Neo 5 is rumoured to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display bearing a 1.5K
resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and an integrated fingerprint scanner. The
device is expected to pack up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1
storage. The Realme GT Neo 5 is tipped to come in two battery variants – a
4,600mAh cell with support for 240W charging and a 5,000mAh variant with 150W
charging.
