It’s exclusive to China for now.
In practical terms, we’re really hitting the point of diminishing returns with fast charging wattage this high on smartphones. Realme advertises that the GT Neo 5’s 4,600mAh battery can be charged to 100 percent in nine and a half minutes thanks to its 240W charging. That’s super fast, but it’s also basically the same as what Redmi was claiming the 210W charging on the Note 12 Discovery Edition could achieve last year .
The Realme GT Neo 5 has only been announced for the Chinese market for now, where it’ll actually be sold in a couple of different charging configurations. The 240W version is, as you’d expect, the more expensive of the two. Prices start at 3,199 yuan for 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also a version with “slower” 150W charging, though interestingly it has a slightly larger 5,000mAh battery. The 150W model starts at 2,599 yuan with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Otherwise, the GT Neo 5 is a fairly standard Android device. It has a 6.74-inch 1240p 144Hz OLED display, and runs last year’s flagship Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. There are three rear cameras, but while the main sensor is 50 megapixels, the ultrawide is only 8 megapixels in resolution, and the macro sensor is limited to just 2 megapixels. It’s available in white, black, or purple.
There’s no word yet on international availability and pricing, but with Mobile World Congress set to take place in just a couple of week’s time in Barcelona, I wouldn’t be surprised if we heard more then. Based on Realme’s previous releases, however, I’m not expecting the phone to get an official release in North America.
