Thebest phones, and in particular thebest Android phones, like to boast about their fast charging speeds – but I can’t think of a single one that charges as quickly as the Realme GT Neo 5.
The numbers are extraordinary. The GT Neo 5’s big 4,600mAh battery charges from flat to 20% in just 80 seconds, and it only takes 4 minutes to reach a half charge. Fully charging from flat? 9.5 minutes. That’s barely enough time for a coffee.
A smartphone you’ll want to show off
The display is 144Hz with 1,500Hz touch sampling, and the camera assembly includes a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro camera, with aSonyIMX890 sensor inside.
This isn’t the only phone Realme is powering up. It’s about to launch the Realme GT 3, which will also get 240W fast charging. However it’s unclear whether that phone will be quite so good-looking as the Neo GT 5. We’ll find out more at the annual MWC show, which takes place at the end of February.
