Realme GT Neo 6 to Have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Priced at $275

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.

Realme GT Neo 6 More Specs Emerge

According to the latest information, the Realme GT Neo 6 has been certified in China under two distinct model numbers: RMX3820 and RMX3823. Initially, it was speculated that one model might be the standard Realme GT Neo 6 featuring the Dimensity 9200 chipset, while the other could be a Pro version equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. However, additional specifications have been revealed by a certification authority, indicating that both models will actually run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, as indicated by the reported maximum CPU frequency of 3.2 GHz.

The main difference between the two models appears to be the battery capacity and purported charging speed. If the information holds true, we can expect a Realme GT Neo 6 variant with a 4,600 mAh battery and the same impressive 240W charging capability as the GT Neo 5, as well as another version with a larger 5,200 mAh battery and 150W charging. Interestingly, according to the posted specs, both variants of the phone have identical dimensions, measuring 163.13 x 75.38 x 8.86 mm and weighing 205 grams.

In addition to the chipset and battery, it is currently believed that the Realme GT Neo 6 will feature a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and 2160Hz PWM dimming. It is expected to come with 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 128GB to 1TB. The main camera is rumored to be a 50MP IMX890 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP auxiliary camera. For selfies, there will be a 16MP front-facing camera. Additionally, sources suggest that the GT Neo 6 will include an IR blaster, an x-axis haptic motor, and will ship with Android 13.

With the certification of both models now complete, the official launch of the Realme GT Neo 6 appears to be imminent. We can anticipate further updates by closely following Realme’s social media channels for the official announcement.
