The Chinese giant took to Weibo earlier this morning to announce the launch date. You can see the teaser poster for the Realme GT 5G attached below. It does not reveal much of anything about the upcoming flagship. You, however, have three tiny icons at the bottom left of the poster. They represent the three key new features – Snapdragon 888, possible 160Hz AMOLED display, and 125W charging.
The GT moniker comes from premium GT sports cars, whose speed and trendy design the company’s new lineup will try to imbibe. It will compete against the likes of Mi 11, iQOO 7, and the Samsung Galaxy S21 series in the flagship segment. “Realme GT will be the high-performance flagship in the product portfolio and will bring sustained speedy performance and trendsetting design to young users around the world,” as per the official press release. We can expect the smartphone to make its global debut soon after its unveiling in China. Will it come to Europe or India first still remains unknown. Moving on, let’s take a quick look at the rumored or leaked specifications of Realme GT 5G right here:
