MediaTek’s new 5nm Dimensity 8100 comes alongside 8/12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The camera department is headlined by the 50MP Sony IMX766 main sensor which comes with OIS. There’s also an 8MP ultrawide snapper and a 2MP macro lens. The software side is covered by Realme UI 3.0 on top of Android 12.

We’ve saved the best for last – Realme GT Neo3 comes with 80W flash charging which can fill up its 5,000 mAh battery from empty to full in just 32 minutes. The bundled 80W charger supports the SVOOC standard and is backwards compatible with older Realme phones that charger at slower speeds.

Even more impressive though is the new 150W UltraDart charging which fills up the phone’s 4,5000 mAh battery from 0 to 50% in just 5 minutes. In order to achieve these results, Realme is using multiple boost charge pumps to increase the current going into the phone.

Realme is also taking 38 battery security protective measures including a special temperature managing algorithm that ensures the battery temperature remains under 43°C (110°F) while charging. Realme also claims that the phone’s lithium batteries will retain 80% of their capacity after 1,000 complete charging cycles.

Realme GT Neo3 comes in black, Silverstone silver and Le Mans blue colors. Realme GT Neo3 starts at CNY 1,999 ($314) for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage trim. You can get a 8/128GB version for CNY 2,299($360) while the 12/256GB model will cost CNY 2,599 ($408).
