Design revealed ahead of launch for Realme GT 5 with Pro-XDR display

The Realme GT 5 is scheduled to debut in China on August 28. At the 2023 Mobile World Congress, the Realme GT 3 smartphone, which was released in March, is anticipated to be replaced by the new model. It had a 4,600mAh battery with 240W SUPERVOOC charging capabilities, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen SoC, and up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM. The Realme GT 5’s processor, RAM, and battery specifications have all been confirmed by the manufacturer. Realme has since shared the future phone’s design and confirmed a few more essential details.

Realme revealed the look of the future Realme GT 5 in a series of Weibo tweets. The company describes the material used for the phone’s back as “miracle glass” (roughly translated from Chinese), and they claim it will provide an exclusive texture they refer to as “liquid metal silver” (roughly translated).

Curved edges can be seen on the front and back panels, and the camera island appears to be a platform that is slightly elevated near the top of the rear panel. The phone is shown off in a color scheme called “Flowing Silver Mirror” (translated from Chinese).

The Realme GT 5’s triple rear camera sensors are positioned in two circular slots that are vertically aligned at the top left corner of the back panel within the elevated camera island. A set of tiny LED panels surround the embedded Qualcomm Snapdragon logo and are situated next to an LED flash unit. A center-aligned hole-punch slot for the front camera is located on the top of the somewhat curved front panel.

The Realme GT 5’s display has 1.46mm ultra-narrow bezels around its curving edges. Additionally, the phone appears to be much thinner than its predecessors. The bottom edge of the phone has a speaker grille, a microphone, and a USB Type-C port.

A pro-XDR dynamic display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, a touch sampling rate of 2000Hz, 1.5K resolution, and a PWM dimming rate of up to 2160Hz is also expected to be included with the Realme GT 5. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC with up to 24GB of RAM and 240W wired fast charging have already been verified to power the Realme GT 5.
