- Realme has launched the GT Neo 5 smartphone in China.
- The phone offers 240W wired charging speeds, maxing out USB-C’s current capabilities.
- The company adds that 240W charging will come to the upcoming Realme GT 3 as well.
Realme announced that it was working on a smartphone with 240W wired charging speeds just over a month ago, dubbed the Realme GT Neo 5. Now, the phone has finally launched, indeed bringing blazing-fast speeds.
The key selling point is indeed the 240W wired charging speed, hitting the limit set by the USB Implementer’s Forum (USB-IF) with the USB PD 3.1 revision back in 2021. In other words, you simply can’t get a faster charging phone than this one, unless the USB-IF increases speeds with a new revision or a rival brand launches a 240W phone with a smaller battery.
