Last week’s poll voters were suitably impressed by the fiery charging of the Realme GT Neo 5. But is an impressive charging system enough? Well, no, but the Neo also has a fast Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and plenty of memory for what it costs.
Right now there’s an even split between people wanting the 240W model and those eyeing the 150W model. However, just like many people are holding back, waiting to see what the whole GT3 thing is all about .
For now, we only know the GT Neo 5 prices for China. There are still a couple of days left for the official global model, the Realme GT3. Realme has already confirmed that it will feature the same 240W charging system which can get to 100% in 9 minutes and 37 seconds. No word yet on whether there will be a 150W variant available globally. Join us on Tuesday 28th February for all the details on the GT3.
There hasn’t been much comment on the 144Hz AMOLED display (1,240 x 2,772px), other than a debate about the holes and notches. We’ll take that as a good sign, the GT Neo 5 display is faster and sharper than what most phones in its price range have to offer.
In fact, it was the camera that drew the most criticism – that 50MP 1/1.56″ main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide unit are a good foundation, but not too impressive. To be fair, the GT phones usually focus on chipsets and battery rather than cameras.Something Realme could consider, however, is adding official dust and water resistance rating to its phones.
Xiaomi has a few mid-range models with 200MP sensors, but since we haven’t reviewed them yet, we can’t say which camera is actually better. All we can say for now is that the fancy sensor is way out of the chipset budget.
Realme has a potential winner on its hands with the GT Neo 5, which will be a hit in China. As for the global market, it all depends on the price of the GT3 – this can become one of the most popular flagships of 2023.
