After weeks of teasers, Realme finally announced its GT Neo 5 SE in China. The new device shares some of its key specs with the regular GT Neo5 though with three key differences in the chipset, camera and battery departments. Realme GT Neo 5 SE brings a 6.74-inch AMOLED screen with 2772 x 1240 px resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. There’s a 16MP selfie cam housed in the punch hole cutout as well as an optical under-display fingerprint scanner.
GT Neo 5 SE is equipped with Qualcomm’s
latest 7-series chipset – the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 alongside up to 16GB RAM and
1TB storage. The camera department features a 64MP main sensor alongside an 8MP
ultrawide module and a 2MP microscope lens.
The other notable difference between the
GT Neo 5 and the new SE model are the battery capacity and charging speeds. The
SE model brings a 5,500 mAh capacity vs 5,000 mAh on the GT Neo 5 and charges
at 100W speeds compared to the GT Neo 5’s 150W solution. The software side is
handled by Realme UI 4.0 on top of Android 13.
Realme GT Neo 5 SE comes in blue and black
colors. Pricing in China starts at CNY 2,099 (US$ 305) for the 8/256GB trim and
tops out at CNY 2,799 (US$ 406) for the 16GB RAM and 1TB storage version. Open
sales in China start on April 10.
