When talking about flagships, 6nm chipsets are the new trend because not only they perform really well but are quite economical as well. And this trend was started by Mediatek when it brought its first 6nm chipset series. Well, this MediaTek Dimensity 1200 is now a part of a Realme smartphone and Realme GT Neo, as you read in the headline, is the first smartphone with this chipset. Let us check out the features of this flagship and if this is good enough to be bought:

Features of Realme GT Neo:

Design and Display:

Realme GT Neo is a gorgeous device with a glass front, plastic frame and plastic back and it has dual 5G SIM capability. It weighs about 180g and is quite comfortable to hold. This device occurs with a 6.43-inch Super AMOLED display that has 120Hz display refresh rate and about 86 percent screen to body ratio. It also has a display resolution of 1080p and 20:9 aspect ratio. There is a punch hole notch at the top left corner to house the front camera and this setup looks really good.

Performance:

The smartphone is powered by a Mediatek Dimensity 1200 chipset as mentioned above and yes, this is one of the flagships that are available at a really low cost these days. This 6nm chipset is octa-core in structure and is clocked at a max of 3Ghz. No doubt it is one of the most powerful chipsets available currently and it also has Mali-G77 MC9 as its GPU and Realme UI 2.0 over Android 11 as its operating system.

RAM and ROM:

The smartphone has been brought forward in a number of RAM and ROM variants but this could be subjected to the country you are in. As per the brand, there is a 6GB RAM variant with 128GB storage, an 8GB RAM variant with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM variant with 256GB internal storage. You can choose the RAM and the ROM features according to your needs.

Camera:

The smartphone has a really smart camera as well. It contains a 64MP + 8MP + 2MP triple rear camera with dual LED and dual-tone flash and this would be excellent in taking great images and videos even in the dark. The smartphone also contains a 16MP front camera that again looks great for the users. Overall, I think the camera section would be one of the best parts of the device.

Battery:

Realme GT Neo comes with a 4500mAh battery that is good enough considering that most flagships bring similar battery at the price. Besides, it contains 50W fast charging support to help your smartphone charge really quickly. It can charge your smartphone from 0 to 50 percent in almost 16 minutes, as advertised by Realme.

Security and other features:

The smartphone contains a powerful under-display, optical fingerprint sensor that looks really good and it contains a quick, face unlock feature as well. Besides, there are sensors such as accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, loudspeaker with stereo speaker and 24-bit/192kHz audio as well.

All these smart features make the device really good for the users and I think this is one of the flagships that would get a lot of attention due to its mid-range pricing.

Since there is this latest Mediatek chipset in the device, I think the connectivity features would be really good as well. And all these features make Realme GT Neo a very smart choice. What do you think?
