Realme has not officially launched the GT Neo 5, yet, but they have just confirmed that this phone will have 240W charging. This is the fastest charging speed under the USB Type-C standard. This will also mean that Realme has to use its own special USB cable. The USB cable has four 21AWG wires just to be able to handle the 240W.
They have also stated that the charging technology also offers up to 1600 battery charging cycles – making Realme GT Neo5 the first phone with 200W fast charging and above to offer such long battery health.
Sadly they have not confirmed any other specifications, but it has been reported that it will use last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which is the upgraded chipset on the more efficient TSMC fabrication. It is also believed to have a 50 MP Sony IMX890 sensor and OIS.
The phone will launch in mainland China in February, with a global launch following later in the year.
