Realme GT Neo 3 150W Review

Another review time. We will be looking at the Realme GT Neo 3 150W.

This is one of the latest devices from Realme and is a device that kind of sits in between the Realme GT 5G that was reviewed recently and the Realme GT 2 Pro in terms of pricing. In terms of hardware, some subtle differences separate from the GT 2 series. One of the key hardware differentiators is the fact that this phone is capable of charging at a massive 150W via the UltraDart Tuition technology. This is a significant step up from the charging speed on the GT 2 which was a paltry 65W SuperDart charging. there are of undertow few increasingly differences which we will uncover during the full undertow of the review.

Design

If we start from the top we have got very little on the top end of the phone but we do have a pinhole microphone. and the whet of the phone is slightly inset making it finger quite well-appointed in the hand. We moreover find one of the two speaker grills that work to create a limited stereo effect of the speakers which is a nice touch to see on this grade of the phone.

Moving lanugo to the right-hand side we find the power key which has some nice texture on it making it a bit easier to find by feel.

The wiring of the phone shares the same slight inset as can be found at the top. There is a lot going on here and it is quite busy. Lanugo here we moreover find the bottom-firing speaker which does produce pretty good sound. Next, we have got a USB Type C port which allows very fast charging via the Superdart Charger technology increasingly on this later though. Next up is flipside pinhole microphone for voice pickup which works well. Lastly, we have got the Dual Nano sim cardholder which does have a waterproof gasket virtually it for some waterproofing.

The left-hand side has the individually mounted volume buttons which have a nice positive clicking whoopee and fall nicely unelevated the thumb when stuff used in the right hand, it might be a bit increasingly worrisome to use if you are left-handed but I like the separation of the buttons as it avoids you mistaking the volume for the power button.

Around the front at the top, we have got the front earpiece/speaker which is well-spoken and gives the effect of stereo separation the volume of this speaker is a bit lower than the one found on the wiring but this is normal for this sort of setup as my Oneplus Nord 2 5G uses the word-for-word same setup. The speaker is subconscious overdue a very small and skinny grill and it is situated between the top of the phone and the top of the screen. It would be a pearly theorizing that this earpiece is the same component used for the speaker grill I mentioned on the top of the phone as they do line pretty well.

We moreover have the front-facing camera which is a 16 MP, f/2.45 24mm (wide), 1/3.09″, 1.0µm unit so works well for selfies whilst moreover not obliterating the preliminaries due to it stuff a wideish angle. It can moreover work at 1080p at 30fps for video recording so would be fine for use for video calls on Zoom etc. Unlike the GT 2, this one is mounted in the centre of the screen which is the increasingly worldwide placement for this type of speaker.

Moving lanugo from the speaker and camera we have the 6.7″ exhibit which has a resolution of 1080 x 2412  and a PPI of 394. The speciality ratio is 20.1:9 which is a nice size not stuff too skinny but still having unbearable width to exhibit content. Lastly, this screen can have a refresh rate that will dynamically switch between 60HZ and 120HZ. You can leave this to be adaptive which is what I did or you can manually set it at either mode depending on your requirements. I found the refresh rate to be satisfactory in normal use and it was plenty fast unbearable for my liking. The last thing of note is the splendor for the screen will purportedly reach near 500 nits, whilst I have not been worldly-wise to personize this as I don’t have the correct equipment to test, I can personize that the screen does get really bright, I had no issues reading the screen under uncontrived sunlight!

Around the back, we have got two main points of interest for the phone. The first is the paint job and then the second is the camera module that has been used. I have the Sprint White and I just love the way that this looks. That twin racing stripe diamond that has drawn its inspiration from the likes of “Le Mans” racing cars from the 60s is just such a tomfool detail. I particularly like the way that the camera module interrupts the “stripes” and then a little remoter lanugo you get the same effect from the Realme Logo. I would recommend this with the colour Sprint White or the Nitro Blue version. I have not seen the other variant which is increasingly sedate Asphalt Black but I presume this has a increasingly textured and roughened finish to it than on the other two increasingly unreceptive to what was seen on the original Realme 8 Pro that I reviewed a while ago.

The next bit for the when panel is the other big selling point that you can see the Camera modules. On the when panel, we have got a module made up of three lenses that have the pursuit sensors:  50MP main, 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro. I will imbricate these cameras in a bit increasingly detail remoter lanugo in the review.

In terms of the very external dimensions and weight we are then in very familiar territory with the GT 2 with the Lenght stuff 163.3mm Width stuff 75.6mm the depth stuff 8.2mm and finally weight stuff 188g which does make 1o grams. In the hand, you will not notice these differences at all. It does finger unconfined in the hand and I like that I am not faced with a diamond that loves fingerprints like most other high-end flagships. I have not felt the need to put a specimen on this phone which I would normally do with all my phones either that or a skin which I ended up doing with my daily suburbanite the Pixel 6 Pro. incidentally, as I have mentioned the phone the Realme GT 3 Neo 150W is so much lighter than the P6Pro that it is refreshing to use a lighter phone without having spent so long with the heavier phone.

In the box you do of undertow get your usual Realme goodies like a specimen the sim squirt pin, a well-padded USB to USB Type C subscription and the yahoo of a charger which i am going to talk increasingly well-nigh very soon, Honestly I think the charger is heavier than the phone!!

Next up it is time to squint at the specifications of the phone so here comes the table.

Specifications

Now that we have seen the raw specs let’s have a closer squint at some of the key hardware features

Hardware

I want to start with the headline full-length for this phone the charging speed. It is such a big full-length Realme decided to include it in the phone’s name! So it seems that charging speeds has wilt one of the new smartphone battlegrounds, expressly with the onset of GAN technology which is permitting chargers to wilt much smaller whilst still maintaining the worthiness to push upper amounts of power. Flipside zone where this technology has ripened is the use of split lamina shower packs. Add to this the propriety charging technology and software that each manufacturer seems to be developing (or renaming) and we have a hotly contested bed of development.

Realme’s Solution is to use their own UDCA Charging Architecture to power the 150W UltraDart charger permitting the phone to fully recharge in record time.  All this is kept unscratched by the TUV Rheinland certified process that includes 38 Levels of Safety protection and a Smart MCU tweedle for management of the two shower cells. The eagle-eyed of you may have noticed that the Realme GT Neo 3 moreover comes in flipside flavour albeit with a slightly worthier battery. This one uses a single lamina shower of the increasingly traditional diamond and charging speed of 80W! having the slower charger speed does indulge for an Extra 500mAh to be crammed into the shower giving a 5000mAH pack instead of the 150W’s 4500mHA.

I have only used the faster-charging version of the 2 devices and I have found that in terms of shower I have not been left lacking during a normal day plane with that slightly smaller pack size. This in turn lanugo to the fantastically efficient but still power full chipset.

The Chipset is the smart-ass of any mobile tech these days and this is flipside example of the ladies and gents of Mediatek smashing it. I have not had any performance issues or excessive heat build-up on the new Mediatek 8100 5G processor. Like the processor in the Oneplus Nord 2 5G that I reviewed near the end of last year, this chipset really impresses. I used to be a bit of a Snapdragon snob when in the early days of the super processor. The phone loads apps quickly and cuts through most tasks like a pocketknife through hot butter. All this stuff said the processor is only as good as the other components that it is supported by and then Realme have brought the A -Game, we find that we have UFS 3.1 Storage and moreover 6400Mhz of LPDDR5 RAM a massive 12GB of the stuff.

The Mediatek chipset isn’t the only processer present on the Realme GT Neo 3 150W though as there is moreover a defended exhibit processor to indulge the 120fps framerate. Now whilst it is not as granular a framerate as that seen on the Pixel 6 Pro I have been using it on Auto mode for the adaptive rate and I have found that it performs smoothly with very little vestige of it stitching between the standard 60hz  to the 120hz max rate that can be achieved. Scrolling through text-based lists and the like is smooth and spritz really well. When I have been playing games I found the screen to be pleasing to the eye and the framerates were what I expected them to be. I will shoehorn that unlike some testers my gaming choices don’t tend to push the phone to its limits but i was happy with the result. I moreover found that when watching videos the playback was moreover velvety smooth with many an hour spent watching videos on either Netflix or YouTube.

Cooling is flipside very important part of the hardware puzzle and then we see some time-tested technology on this phone in the form of a Stainless Steel Vapor Cooling System Max which is 7% larger than the one found on the GT 2 Pro which is really nice to see given that the phone sizes are extremely comparable. It was very rare for the exterior of the phone to get uncomfortably hot. I did notice the normal heat build-up that comes with using services like Google Maps for a prolonged time period and when using the camera intensively a bit of heat can be felt. This is pretty much par for the undertow with a modern smartphone these days though so I can forgive the phone for this.

Moving on from the hardware the undeniability performance and connectivity of this phone were as you would expect from a modern smartphone pretty much on par. I have found that my calls were crystal well-spoken and I had no issues with the signal when making those calls. As I found when I was testing the Relame GT 2 5G, this was overly so slightly largest than what I had seen on my Pixel 6 Pro. this is partially due to the wide-stretching use of the integrated antennas and the fact that the inside cadre to the phone is unquestionably a plastic component permitting for seamless transmission from the antennas located virtually the soul of the phone. I moreover found that Wi-fi performance was spanking-new with it unceasingly getting well-nigh the same as I found on my Pixel 6 Pro. I was moreover suitably impressed with the Bluetooth sufficiency of the device with a very good connection to my car for use when driving and unlike some other phones, I have tried recently it was unchangingly fast to regain the connection when I asked it to do so.

Last but not least the biometrics of the phone ie the Fingerprint Scanner was quick and responsive with very few misreads of my digits when in use. The squatter unlock was good as you would expect it to be with a 16mp camera overdue it but as unchangingly this is increasingly a convenience factor and not something I would recommend using for unquestionably securing your phone as a primary solution as like and 2D scan it can hands be fooled into unlocking your device.

That pretty much covers the Hardware elements of the phone, next up is the camera performance.

Camera

The camera on this phone is very similar to the one found on Realme GT 2 5G. I found it increasingly than capable of keeping up with the task of taking day to day photos and the software was a pleasure to use. While I am by no ways a photographer I can fathom a good photo when I see one, expressly if the colours are well-judged and vibrant. Fortunately, the Realme GT 3 Neo 150w stands proud in the section.  Unelevated are a selection of photos taken with the phone during my review period and I hope this shows the skills of the camera.

The main sensor is not too bad and produces pretty good quality images from the 50mp and f/1.9 sensor with vibrant colours and good levels of contrast. The night mode works well and does create some good photos in tricky conditions. I was increasingly than happy to use it for capturing the wisecracker of some grown men playing with Radio Controlled trucks!

The Zoom is not really anything massively impressive but as long as you don’t push it too nonflexible you will get some useable results. However, once you go into the higher levels expect to start seeing some noticeable distortion and cropping as this is only a digital zoom without all.

I found that the night shots were surprisingly colour accurate, expressly when compared to the likes of the Honor Magic 4 Pro, recently reviewed here.

When working with the ultrawide camera things were okay as long as you were not trying to get the subject of the image too tropical as you do start to get a bit of ousting in this instance.

The selfie camera is fine and it does what it says on the tin just be enlightened of the rather warlike Ai that is the Norm for phones designed with the Asian market in mind as i found that the Beauty mode, plane when turned off, could still be quite intrusive.

The video was serviceable and I have recorded a prune here then of grown men and RC trucks! It will of undertow support up to 4 K recording if you wish to use it but to be honest, if you are wishing to get good quality 4K footage then this is not really your weightier option. For the impromptu video of memorable events then this will do the job but you won’t be recording a Cannes mucosa Festival full-length on this phone.

I did find the camera software intuitive and easy to navigate through and the heat build-up when using the camera was within the winning parameters for a smartphone these days with it only getting a tad warm when I was using it for video over prolonged periods.

Here are a few increasingly unstipulated images for you to squint at to make your own judgement of the camera.

Software

The software on the Realme Gt Neo 3 150w is pretty much identical to that of the Realme GT 2 5G, which is a good thing as the latest Realme Ui is pretty good expressly as they have stock-still my biggest tormentor with the previous version. I still am somewhat tumbled by the way in which you have to interact with the notifications, these require a double printing to unquestionably see the content. And the permissions prompt every time you unshut a cadre app for the first time is a bit worrying for the first few days. All that stuff said though if i had to use this as my daily suburbanite I could certainly live with it as it does have unbearable niceties to alimony my interest. I moreover received at least 2 minor software updates during my time with the device which is nice to see.

It is a bit early to say how well the software will protract to be supported but there is a sign of some light on the horizon. One of my first reviews of a Realme device the Realme 8 Pro is still stuff used in the house by my wife and I have read that it is due to get the update to Realme UI 3 in the next few weeks to months. Now while my unit does not have it yet it gives me hope well-nigh how Realme will write future updates to this and their other devices going forward. Only time will tell if that hope is dashed or delivered upon.

Conclusion

So why should you superintendency well-nigh the Realme GT Neo 3 150W phone and segregate it over others in this crowded mid-tier high-end segment? Well, there is one big reason and that is of undertow the stupendously quick charging speed. if you are the type of person who needs their phone charged in less time than it takes to have a shower then this phone will suit you very well as long as that is one of the main features you are drawn to.

The reason for that previous statement is that if you don’t need the phone to tuition in an Ultrafast time then there are other options from both Realme and its sister brands in the form of the OnePlus 10R (not misogynist in the UK) and the Realme GT2 5G or GT 2 Pro 5g both of which incidentally are currently cheaper. Looking to outwith the BBK trademark family you moreover have the likes of the upcoming Pixel 6A to consider and the A series line up from Samsung which has unchangingly served the market well in this section.

The Realme GT Neo 3 150W is a unconfined fone and is one that I have been very happy to use for the time I have had it. But with so many similarities in terms of functionality, camera and performance I have to bring its reason for existing into question. Yes if you want an Ultrafast charging Phone with the familiarity presented within the very good Realme UI (ie Colour OS/ Oxygen OS) and you are in the UK then this is the only way to currently get it without importing a device. if not then squint to the other stablemates in the form of the Realme GT2 5G and the GT2 Pro 5G and save yourself a bit of cash.

Oh if you like racing stripes “Le Mans style” then that is flipside good reason to go for this phone too!

The Realme GT Neo 150W is misogynist now from Realme’s website for £599
