Realme GT5 Debuts With Lightning-Fast Charging And Up To 24 GB Of RAM

Chinese manufacturer Realme has just dropped the mic with its latest powerhouse phone, the Realme GT5. This device was unveiled in two different charging versions: One with up to 150W and another one even more mind-blowing, reaching up to 240W — Hold onto your hats because the high-end model rocks an impressive 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, and the interesting thing is that, in fact, it’s not even much pricier than the other less powerful variant.

Versions and Pricing

As we just said, the Realme GT5 comes in two different flavors: 150W and 240W. The 150W version offers memory options of 12/256GB and 16/512GB, setting you back CNY 3,000 or CNY 3,300 respectively ($410/€380/₹34,500 and $450/€420/₹38,000). Now, for the real firepower, the 240W version flaunts 24GB RAM and 1TB storage at CNY 3,800 ($520/$480/₹43,500). Note, the battery capacities differ too: 5,240mAh for 150W and 4,600mAh for 240W.

Blazing Fast Charging

For those always on the go and looking for a fast charging solution, this might be the perfect match, because according to the manufacturer, when the battery is flat on the 240W version, plugging it in and waiting just 80 seconds will give users a solid 20% — And even the 150W version isn’t slacking off; With its larger battery, it can rocket up to 50% in a mere 7 minutes.

SoC, Display, and Camera

Both variants pack a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, with heat managed by a serious 9-layer cooling system and a massive vapor chamber.

The 6.74” AMOLED display is a beauty, rendering colors in vibrant 10-bit and boasting 100% DCI-P3 coverage. With a 1,400 nit peak brightness and a 144Hz refresh rate, gaming and content consumption will be a treat.

The camera lineup is no slouch either, with a 50MP main shooter (Sony IMX890 sensor), an 8MP112° ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro module, and a 16MP selfie camera.

Connectivity and More

Dual-SIM 5G support, four Wi-Fi antennas, Bluetooth 5.3 with audio codec support, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a nifty X-axis linear motor for haptic feedback all add up to a premium experience.
