Realme GT Neo5: 240W charging, RGB lighting, and flagship snappiness

Realme has unveiled the GT Neo5, a sub-flagship that aims to redefine fast charging with an astonishing 240W capability and customizable RGB lighting—news confirmed by the FoneArena portal. The device sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel, offering a 1.5K resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and fluid visuals. It also features PWM dimming at a high 2160 Hz, a slim chin measuring just 2.31 mm, and peak brightness that can reach up to 1400 nits, all contributing to a vibrant and legible display under varied lighting conditions. In terms of power and performance, the GT Neo5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, a flagship chip from the second half of 2022, ensuring robust performance for gaming, multitasking, and media workloads. Buyers will have the option to configure the device with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage, allowing for extensive app libraries, large media libraries, and rapid data access. The camera setup comprises a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 main sensor with optical stabilization for steadier shots, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens for wider framing, and a 2-megapixel macro camera for close-up details. For selfies and video calls, the phone provides a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. Realme offers two battery configurations: a 5000mAh battery supporting 150W fast charging, and a 4600mAh battery paired with 240W charging, which Realme claims can top up in as little as eight minutes under ideal conditions. A distinctive feature is a transparent back cover that reveals some internal components, along with a customizable RGB backlight that offers 25 color options for personalization. In China, the Realme GT Neo5 is priced at 2.5 thousand yuan, equivalent to roughly 26,300 rubles, signaling aggressive pricing for a feature-rich handset. Rumors suggest the device could be introduced to the global market as part of the flagship Realme GT3 line, though there has been no official confirmation about its availability beyond China or immediate plans for markets such as Russia.
