On the other hand, there’s a 6.74-inch 2,772 x 1,240 Tianma AMOLED screen that not only works at up to 144Hz, but also has a sensitive 1,500Hz touch sampling rate – a benefit for mobile gaming. An under-display fingerprint scanner and a 16-megapixel punch-hole selfie camera round out the package. Additional notable features include a top-mounted infrared remote blaster (common on Chinese phones), stereo speakers, and an 8-layer heat dissipation architecture for best gaming performance. All of this is housed in a 199g-heavy, 8.9mm-thick casing that comes in black, white, or purple and is largely covered with frosted glass on the back side.
The Realme GT Neo5 is already available in China with two varieties offered: the model with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage is asking for 3,199 yuan (about $470), while stepping it up to 1TB storage is simply 3,499 yuan (about $520). Curiously, a 5,000mAh edition of the GT Neo5 is also available, with prices ranging from 2,499 yuan ($370; 8GB RAM and 256GB storage) to 2,899 yuan ($430; 16GB RAM and 256GB storage).
