Realme GT Neo 5 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme GT Neo 5 Pro - not in vain efforts

The Chinese company Realme decided to impose serious competition in the highest price category of the smartphone market. So, an increasingly popular manufacturer has released several flagships at once, distinguished not only by top performance and high-quality assembly materials, but also by a very affordable price. The hero of today's review does not contradict the specified description, and is also ahead of his predecessor in almost every parameter.

The appearance of the novelty has become even more memorable. The original triple photo module on the back is combined into one design element with LED backlight that can be used to display notifications. The colors of the glass cases chosen by the developer and the thin frames of the AMOLED panels also look great. The 6.74-inch display is endowed with an optimal diagonal resolution of 2772x1240 pixels, brightness brought up to 1700 nits, smoothness at a refresh rate of 120 hertz, well-calibrated color reproduction and a stunning oleophobic coating. Of course, the PWM effect is also kept within reasonable limits, thanks to which even people who are sensitive to it can use the gadget without any problems.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor is significantly better than the previous model in literally everything. The results in benchmarks and the frame rate in the most resource-intensive games have grown by another 15-20%, energy efficiency has also improved. As a result, the chipset with 12GB / 16GB of RAM and the Adreno 740 video core still does not suffer from throttling, it demonstrates extremely stable operation. Thanks to economical technical characteristics, a 5200mAh battery provides one and a half, and sometimes two days of operation of the device. Fast wired charging power can be 150W / 240W, wireless exists in the only 50W option.

There is progress in photography. So, the 13-megapixel wide-angle lens is capable of more detailed shots, the software of the main 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor with optical stabilization has been updated. Now there is much less noise even in evening shots. The only pity is that the useless 2-megapixel macro camera remained in place. The stereo sound is still loud and rich, even complex instrumental compositions sound good. NFC contactless payments, a 5G modem complete the long list of advantages of the phablet, which was not included except for protection against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards. But it seems that it was saved for the next generations of the series. However, even without such a distinctive feature, the device causes extremely positive emotions.
