Realme GT Neo 3T review Introduction and specs.
With the release of the latest Realme GT Neo 3T (also known as Q5 Pro in China) the GT family is now complete. The 2022 series has a wide selection of chipsets to choose from, and each one is large enough for its price range. And yes, we do believe that the GT Neo 3T's Snapdragon 870 is still a viable option in 2022. But this isn't the first time we've seen the chipset mentioned on a Realme GT phone.
Last year's GT Neo2 ran the same Snapdragon 870 SoC, and the mill doesn't end there. The GT Neo 3T borrows camera setup, display, battery, and overall build. In addition, last year's GT Neo2 shares the same dimensions and weight as the Neo 3T. It's easy to see how the real predecessor of the GT Neo 3T is the Neo2, while the GT Neo3 is the successor to the GT Master.
As a successor, the GT Neo 3T needs to improve a bit compared to the previous generation. And it does so in the form of charging technology. The Neo 3T is now capable of 80W SuperDart charges and is also available in the standard version of the GT2 Pro and Neo3.
Another upgrade will be software since Neo 3T has been launched on Android 12 with Realme UI 3.0. Then again, the Neo2 is also upgradeable to Android 12.

So it makes us wonder, is there a place for a refreshed GT Neo2 in 2022 with a different name and a brand new paint job? We try to find out in the reviews, and as always, the price will play a huge role.
The handset comes in a relatively large retail box that contains the usual user manual and the corresponding 80W fast charging brick. The latter works on Realme's SuperDart charging protocol, which is connected to a USB-C to USB-A cable.
