Realme debuted the GT Neo 5 officially in February last year, with the GT Neo 5 SE following suit in April. Given the customary cadence of smartphone releases, it appears that the time is ripe for a refresh within the GT Neo lineup, and indications suggest that Realme is diligently working on the GT Neo 6 series.
According to the reliably informed Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the GT Neo 6 family is poised to introduce two distinct models initially. One variant is slated to incorporate Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset, while its counterpart will leverage the prowess of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.
Anticipated to feature “1.5K” screens and 100W charging capabilities to complement their “ultra-large” batteries, these devices are projected to offer compelling value propositions with their competitive pricing and robust performance capabilities.
Expectations are high that the base model of the GT Neo 6 series will be priced below CNY 1,999 (equivalent to approximately $277 or €255 at current exchange rates) in the Chinese market. However, it’s important to consider that international availability may incur additional costs attributable to taxes and logistical factors, potentially resulting in a substantial price markup.
Rumors abound that Qualcomm is on the cusp of unveiling the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipsets later this month. Consequently, it’s plausible to anticipate that the announcement of the Realme GT Neo 6 series will follow suit, although sources suggest that these devices may not be the first to debut with the new chipset offerings.

The upcoming Realme GT5 Pro is anticipated as a powerful flagship, yet recent leaks suggest another addition to the GT series. Reports indicate the development of the Realme GT Neo 6, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and an aluminum frame.
Expected to be priced below CNY2,000, approximately $275/PKR77660.50, this marks an attractive price point, especially considering the Qualcomm chip’s capabilities, even though prices for phones in China tend to be lower than in the West.
Initial glimpses of the GT Neo 6 suggest a resemblance to the GT5, which also houses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Intriguingly, the lower-priced GT5 variant, equipped with 150W charging, commenced at CNY3,000 (around $410/PKR115784.74), prompting curiosity about Realme’s strategy to trim costs for the GT Neo 6.
Realme introduced the GT Neo 5 (also known as the GT3 globally) earlier this year, following its predecessor, the GT Neo 3, in the first quarter of 2022. Given the brand’s deliberate pace in launching GT Neo devices, it wouldn’t be surprising to witness the arrival of the GT Neo 6 next year. Presently, attention is focused on the imminent release of the GT5 Pro.
