Realme recently revealed that the Neo series will now run separately within its product range, positioning itself as a mid-level e-sports flagship. Xu Qi, who is the vice president of Realme, affirmed this decision as part of a strategy to set the Neo series apart from the high-end GT range.
Realme Neo7 Scores High in AnTuTu
The newest development revolves around the realme Neo7, which is expected to be a formidable mid-range gaming device. A recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station indicates that the forthcoming phone has reached an outstanding AnTuTu score of 2.4 million points. This marks a considerable improvement from its predecessor, the realme GT Neo6, which recorded a score of about 1.5 million. In addition to its Dimensity 9300+ chipset, the device will feature a sizable 7,000mAh battery, highlighting its emphasis on powerful performance.
Clarifying the Lineup
For those who are a bit unclear about the lineup, it's important to note that there was no realme Neo6; instead, there was a GT model known as the GT Neo6. The AnTuTu listing does refer to the phone as realme Neo6. However, the combination of last year's flagship Dimensity 9300+ and the large 7000mAh battery indicates a strong focus on high performance.
In May of this year, the company introduced the GT Neo6, which is equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, UFS 4.0 storage, and a smaller 5500mAh battery. Notably, the GT Neo6 provides incredibly fast 120W charging, which is also anticipated for the upcoming Neo7, especially given its larger battery capacity.
Design and Specifications
On other notes, the earlier GT Neo6 comes with a 6.78-inch display that is curved on both sides. With the 5500mAh battery, this phone has a thickness of 8.7mm and weighs 191g. It is likely that Realme will use the new high-density silicon anode battery technology in the Neo7, making it thinner and lighter than expected. For comparison, the GT7 Pro weighs only 4g more than its predecessor, the GT5 Pro, which has an 1100mAh lower capacity. Therefore, the Neo7 should provide a pleasant in-hand feel. More specifications are expected to be revealed in the near future.
