realme today has announced that its GT3 smartphone, which was initially unveiled during MWC 2023, will finally land in Malaysia later this month – confirming prior speculations of its imminent arrival after its listing was discovered in SIRIM’s database last month. Though not featuring the latest Snapdragon flagship chipset, the handset boasts an impressive fast charging rate of 240W, which the company claims is able to fully top up its battery in under 10 minutes.
To recap, the realme GT3 (originally known as the GT Neo5 in China) sports a 6.74-inch flat AMOLED panel with 1240 x 2772 px resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 1 billion colour output, 1400 nits peak brightness, and supports HDR10+. It also features an under-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, and an RGB lighting system on its back. The latter of which is dubbed as the “Pulse Interface System”, which is used to indicate charging status and notifications, and is also fully customisable with 25 colours, two rhythm styles and five light speed modes.
Under the hood, the new realme handset is equipped with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which is paired together with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Additionally, it features a massive 6,580mm² vapour chamber, dual-side NFC support, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity, as well as a 4,600mAh battery. The latter of which supports the aforementioned 240W fast charging support via USB-C, which features an intelligent system that can switch between several modes and select the appropriate charging speed in order to retain its battery’s life cycle.
Imaging-wise, the realme GT3 has a triple camera setup on its back, comprising a 50 MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultra-wide, and a 2 MP microscope. Housed within the punch-hole cutout on its display, on the other hand, is a 16 MP front-facing camera.
The upcoming smartphone will make its local debut on 20 December 2023. For your reference, the realme GT3 launched globally at US$649 (~RM3,037) and is offered in two colourways: Booster Black and Pulse White.
