The release of the Realme GT Neo 5 SE smartphone appears to be closing in. This new device is a follow-up to the Realme GT Neo 5, which was recently introduced in China and touted as the first phone to support 240W wired fast charging. The GT Neo 5 was also rebranded as the Realme GT 3 and showcased at MWC 2023.
According to recent reports, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE has been spotted on both Chinese certification website TEENA and benchmarking platform Geekbench. Tipster Mukul Sharma has suggested that the device will come with at least 8GB of RAM and will run on Android 13, but the phone will also feature an unannounced Snapdragon chipset.
While there has been some speculation about which chipset the GT Neo 5 SE will use, it is believed that the device will likely use one of the new Snapdragon 7 series chips that Qualcomm is unveiling on March 17. Specifically, it could be the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 1 or Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 SoC.
Other rumored features of the Realme GT Neo 5 SE include LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 6.74-inch Tianma T7+ OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The display is expected to have a 144Hz refresh rate and a 2160Hz PWM dimming. The phone may also feature Gorilla Glass protection on the front and back, as well as an aluminum frame.
As for the camera, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE is expected to come with a 64 MP OmniVision OV64M primary sensor with OIS support and an 8 MP OV08A10 ultra-wide lens. There may also be a third 2 MP sensor for macro shots or depth sensing. On the front, the phone is likely to have a standard 16 MP Samsung S5K3P9 selfie camera.
Finally, the phone is expected to come with a 5,000 mAh battery, though it is not expected to have the extreme charging speeds of the Realme GT Neo 5. Instead, it will feature 100W fast charging support, which is still quite fast but falls well short of the 240W and 160W mark from the Realme GT 3 5G. The expected starting price for the Realme GT Neo 5 SE is CNY 1,799 (roughly Rs 21,350) in China.
