realme announced the two GT Neo 5 smartphone variants with superfast charging capabilities. realme doesn't stop from releasing devices with fast charging capabilities, the first model comes with a 240W adaptor with a 4,600mAh battery, while there's also a slightly toned down but still fast charging 150W variant with a higher 5,000mAh battery.
Based on what the brand claims, the 240W
charger can reach 20 percent in just 80 seconds, 50 percent in 4 minutes, and
100 percent in under 10 minutes. It is also safe as TUV Rheinland certified the
battery to last up to 1,600 charging cycles which is twice the standard of
current phones today. More it can retain up to 80 percent after that which translates
to more than four years of typical usage.

White models with a simpler look. Additionally, realme added some gamery vibe
on the right portion of the camera island with rectangular RGB LED lights. Display-wise
