Realme has introduced its new GT Neo5 smartphone, with arguably the most attractive feature being 240W charging speeds.
Charging speed
The phone features a 4,600mAh battery which can charge from zero to 20 percent in around 80 seconds, and can reach 50 percent charge in roughly four minutes, and finally it will hit 100 percent in a littler over nine minutes.
The company says that just 30 seconds on the wire can provide up to 2 hours of talk.
Ahead of Samsung
Although this is impressive on its own, it is all the more so considering Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is the company’s flagship at the moment, only offers a max charging speed of just 45W.
The phone will also work with legacy VOOC and SuperVOOC chargers, which will also be able to provide their maximum power to the smartphone through the USB-C port.
Charging speed isn’t the only thing that the GT Neo5 has to offer.
Screen
The handset also features a 6.7-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
Storage, RAM
It packs up to either 256GB or 1TB of internal storage that is paired with 16GB RAM.
Other RAM options include 8GB and 12GB.
Camera
There is a triple camera setup at the back comprising a 50MP 1/1.56” Sony IMX890 sensor, OIS, and a 6P lens with an f/1.9 aperture.
There’s also an 8MP ultrawide shooter with 112-degree FoV and a 2MP macro shooter.
The selfie camera has a 16MP Samsung sensor and sits inside a centered punch hole at the top of the screen.
Rear
The rear also gets RGB lighting, a glowing rectangle on the back that can be customized.
This can act as a notification light and is fully customizable for different apps.
It glows red when the battery is under 20%, a notification that can also be programmed through the Settings menu.
The phone boots Android 13 with Realme UI 4.0 on top.
