Realme GT Neo3 / Realme GT Neo 3 / Realme GT Neo3 150W

Powerful and consistent MediaTek CPU ; Solid primary camera produces punchy pictures ; 150W charges the phone in 20 minutes

Plastic sides make the phone feel cheaper ; Battery life is just OK ; Ultra-wide camera colour tone is skewed ; Potentially off-putting finishes

The Realme GT Neo 3 is a solid mid-range phone, and a refreshingly unlikely vehicle to show off Realme’s 150W charging. It’s blazingly fast to recharge, but those after the best deal should check out the slightly older Realme GT 2.

Bright AMOLED screen, 120Hz, HDR10+ support.

Games capped at 60fps.

And while most competitors offer comparable user experience, some excel in the camera department, while others ask a couple of bucks less. So it's hard to say whether the GT Neo3 is objectively better than the competition. The price hike from last...

World's fastest charging (at launch) ; Decent display (120Hz, 1300 nits) ; Attractive price point

Software irks – notification issues and added bloatware ; Dimensity 8100 powerful – but not foolproof ; No wireless charging ; So-so cameras array

The Realme GT Neo 3 is a largely accomplished flagship for a cut of the price, complete with some eye-catching headlines that I've found impressive, including a bright and fast-refresh display, plus 150W fast-charging that's unbeaten in today's market....

Fastest charging phone to date ; Smooth 120Hz AMOLED screen ; Good battery life ; Snappy performance ; Good main camera

Lots of bloatware ; No wireless charging ; No waterproofing ; Awful auxiliary cameras

The Realme GT Neo 3 offers good value for money, solid performance and insanely fast charging. It's not perfect by any means, but, if you're looking for a snappy performer and hate waiting for a charge, it's a solid purchase.

World's fastest charging ; Excellent performance ; Capable main camera ; Snazzy design

Feels a little cheap ; Only two Android updates ; Other camera lenses disappoint

The GT Neo 3 is fast, with 150W charging and a flagship chipset. But with a decent display, snazzy design, and capable main camera it has more to offer than that. It’s not perfect of course, but none of its flaws will be deal-breakers for most.

Incredibly fast charging ; Great screen and performance

Mediocre secondary cameras ; Plastic frame feels cheap

A great phone that charges quickly – we just wish the camera mix was a bit better given its £599 price

Nice 120-Hz AMOLED display ; Bright and well calibrated screen ; Awesome design ; Solid battery life ; Honest update policy ; Efficient main camera lens ; REALLY FAST CHARGING ; Stable performance and no overheating issues

Not the most powerful SoC in this price range ; The 2 MP macro lens is unnecessary ; No microSD port, 3.5mm jack or IP rating ; The 150W version is expensive

The Realme GT Neo 3 occupies an odd position in the market. It is less powerful than its competitors at a similar price tier the Poco F4 GT or the Xiaomi 12X that I recently reviewed. However, the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC is more power efficient and...
