Next Realme flagship will be called GT5 Pro
Realme has not realeased a fully-fledged flagship since January 2022, but such a device is in the works, said Digital Chat Station on their Weibo profile. The new top-tier smartphone will be called GT5 Pro and will have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. There is also a vanilla GT5 in the works which will be official this year and will stick to the current best chip Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Realme’s current most powerful smartphone globally is the GT3 with its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and 240W charging. However, at least on paper, its cameras and display are worse than the GT2 Pro. While the most logical step would be GT3 Pro, Digital Chat Station directly said the next phone with the current flagship platform by Qualcomm will be the GT5.
Some might say the GT2 Explorer Master was close to a flagship, but that one was available only in China. Hopefully the GT5 series changes that and finally gives international audiences a premium Realme phone.
