Realme GT3 to arrive this month with 240W charging support

Today Realme announced the GT Neo 5 duo in China and one of the versions comes with whopping 240W charging speed. That"s the world"s fastest yet and Realme confirmed that it"s coming to the global market as soon as this month.

However, the phone to bring the new technology outside China is going to be the Realme GT3 instead of the Neo 5. It"s possible that the company may simply rebrand the phone, but so far that hasn"t happened between the Neo and the main GT series, so the overseas markets may well be getting a different device.

To allow 240W charging, the company designed a custom 12A charging cable and a 240W dual GaN mini charger. The GaN part is pretty important because a standard 240W charger would be absurdly big.

The GT Neo 5 is equipped with a 4,600mAh battery and odds are at least that bit will be shared with the Realme GT3. Realme says it has implemented more than 60 layers of protection and that this is the first battery supporting more than 200W charging that"s certified by TUV Rheinland for longevity. In theory, it should retain 80% of its capacity after 1,600 charging cycles, which is pretty impressive.
