Realme GT Neo6 announced with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3
Back in March, Qualcomm announced a new chipset in the form of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. This is basically a variant of the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it will be cheaper. Now it looks like the first phone to use the chipset has been announced, and it is none other than Realme’s latest flagship, the GT Neo6.
The phone features the use of a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a display that can go up to 6,000 nits peak brightness (HDR only). On the back of the phone, a dual camera setup can be found. This consists of a 50MP Sony IMX882 and an 8MP ultrawide which uses a Sony IMX335 sensor.
The phone is offered with 12-16GB of RAM, and will go up to 1TB in storage. It also packs a 5,500mAh battery with support for 120W charging. The use of Qualcomm’s chipset is interesting. The chipset is based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 but features slightly slower clock speeds. It also uses the previous-gen Adreno GPU, which is more than capable, but obviously not the latest.
The upside is that the use of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 has helped Realme make the GT Neo6 more affordable. It is priced starting at 2,099 yuan, which is around $290 after conversion. Not too bad for a flagship handset.
