Realme GT Neo 3 announced, features world’s fastest charging, first with MediaTek Dimensity 8100
It was at Mobile World Congress 2022 at the tail-end of February when Realme first announced it would be revealing the GT Neo 3 – complete with the world’s fastest charging tech – and it’s only taken a matter of weeks since that event for the device to be officially revealed in China.
Not only is it the first device to ever go to market with super-fast 150W charging – or what Realme calls UltraDart Charging Architecture (UDCA), which can recharge the 5,000mAh cell by 50 per cent in a mere 5 minutes – it can also tag another ‘first’ to its belt as the handset to commence MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 appearing in devices.
MediaTek Dimensity 9000 vs Dimensity 8000 series: What’s the difference?
The GT’s “racing spirit” is certainly without question given its specification, then, but it’s the asking price – starting at ¥1,999 in China (a mere £240/€285/$315) – is far, far less than you might expect. Of course this is only for the device’s China release, as international adjustments for taxes and shipping will likely make it a good chunk of change more in other markets – if and when it arrives.
The specification elsewhere is strong too, the GT Neo 3 featuring a 6.7-inch 2K-resolution display with 120Hz refresh rate, including a 1,000Hz touch sampling rate for ultra responsiveness, which is also capable of handling HDR10+ high dynamic range.
In addition to its very fetching racing stripe design – as shown here with a purple finish, there’s also blue and white – the rear also houses a triple camera unit, comprising 50-megapixel main sensor complete with optical stabilisation (OIS), an ultra-wide camera, plus a macro lens.
It sounds all-round impressive, no doubt, with that 150W UDCA charging a real eye-catching feature. Here’s hoping Realme will bring the handset to other regions soon – and hopefully with an equally attractive price point.
