- The device will be the first Realme phone to feature a massive 24GB RAM and Snapdragon 8 Gen processor.
- The Realme GT 5 will feature narrow bezels on the front and a plastic frame.
- Realme Buds Air 5 will launch at the same event after its global debut in India on August 21st.
Realme is all set to introduce its first phone with 24GB RAM and this will be the Realme GT 5. The device has now been teased on Weibo through the brand’s official account and will be released soon as Realme completes five years in the market. Alongside this device, the Realme Buds Air 5 TWS earphones will launch in China too.
Realme GT 5 launch date confirmed
The teaser image posted by Realme’s official Weibo account confirms that the Realme GT 5 will launch on August 28th in the brand’s home country at 2 pm local time (11.30 am IST). It also showcases the side of the upcoming phone with the caption “Leapfrog,” a term that the brand has been teasing since last week.
Realme China President Xu Qi Chase has already hinted that this device will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. Combined with 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, it should be a powerful device in terms of performance.
Realme GT 5 front showcased
Reliable tipster, Digital Chat Station, shared an image showcasing the front of the device on Chinese social media. We can see that the brand has kept the bezels rather narrow on the Realme GT 5. However, that does not apply to all four sides of the display bezels as they’re still thicker at the chin.
The device will feature a centred punch hole camera and the tipster also mentioned that the bezel width is better than the newly launched OnePlus Ace 2 Pro and Realme K60 Extreme Edition. Another noticeable choice is the lack of a metal frame. As there are no antenna lines visible on the device, it would be wise to assume that it comes with a plastic frame.
Realme GT 5 specifications (rumoured)
- Display: 6.74-inch 1.5K OLED, 144Hz refresh rate
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC
- RAM and Storage: Up to 24GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB UFS 4.0 storage
- OS: Realme UI based on Android 13
- Cameras: 50MP IMX890 main sensor with OIS + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP primary cameras. 16MP front camera for selfies.
- Battery: 4,600mAh battery variant with 240W charging and 5,200mAh battery with 150W charging.
The new device does seem to feature impressive specs and the 24GB RAM offering makes sense when OnePlus, Nubia and Redmi already have devices housing it. The back of the device is said to come with texture better than most flagship devices. The Realme Buds Air 5 on the other hand will make their debut in India this week and then on August 28th in China. Realme 11X, Realme 11 and Realme Buds Air 5 Pro will be launching in India on August 21st.
