Realme recently announced the GT Neo 5 in China as the fastest-charging smartphone with ridiculous 240W charging support. The very same phone is now launched with the Realme GT 3 moniker for the global market. And that makes it the successor to the Realme GT 2 from last year. So let’s get into the specifications, features, availability, and expected price of the Realme GT 3 in Nepal.
Realme GT 3 Overview:
240W Charging
To begin with, the GT 3 enjoys 240W fast charging. Dubbed #SpeedtotheMax, it gets all of the advancements in charging technology that the brand has made for the GT Neo 5—from a custom 12A charging cable to a 240W dual GaN mini charger.
This new solution implements a three-way 100W charge pump parallel design for converting 20V/12A power to 10V/24A. Realme has paired the charger with a 4,600mAh battery with three individual battery cells. Also, the charger has a charging conversion efficiency of up to 98.5%.
To ensure safety with such enormous power, the 240W brick has 13 real-time sensors. On top of that, the brand has used fireproof materials in the charging solution. TÜV Rheinland has also tested and approved the solution. As a result, the phone secures TÜV Rheinland Safe Fast-Charge System certification.
The GT3’s battery is termed to carry 80 percent of its maximum capacity even after 1,600 charge cycles. Unlike the Neo 5, the GT 3 doesn’t feature another 150W variant with a bigger 5000mAh battery for the global market.

Performance
The smartphone shares the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 5G chip as the GT Neo 5. This TSMC-made 4nm SoC still packs a punch in terms of power and performance. It features one Cortex-X2 core at 3.19GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.75GHz, and four Cortex-A510 at 1.80GHz.
Moreover, the company has used a massive graphene phase-change cooling material that occupies a 6,580 sq. mm area; 61.5% of which is used to cover the battery, ensuring that the phone remains cool while charging at 240W. As expected, it also helps to maintain consistency during intensive tasks like gaming.
Likewise, the smartphone ships with Realme UI 4.0 built on top of Android 13. This Realme’s custom skin introduces new icons, card layouts, and AOD (Always on Display) styles as visual changes. The brand has also implemented Dynamic Computing Engine for improved performance and balance.
Design and Display
As a semi-flagship phone, the GT 3 boasts a glass sandwich design. The brand hasn’t specified if the device is treated with any kind of protection. But one of the notable things about the Realme GT 3 is its RGB LED rectangle on the rear side.
This “Pulse Interface” (as Realme calls it) acts as a notification light and is customizable for various apps. When using a 10-second countdown in the camera, the light will alternate between blue, white, and orange. Realme says you can customize the light with over 25 colors, two rhythm types, and five light speed modes.
The brand has effectively used this interface for charging too. The indicator turns red for 80 seconds (considering the battery status null), then pulses purple for about 7 minutes, after which it turns steady green as the battery is fully charged. The phone is available in three colors– White, Black, and Purple.
Furthermore, the GT 3 features a 6.74-inch 10-bit AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The display has a 1.5K resolution, a 7-stage adaptive refresh rate support, and is HDR10+ certified too. Other features include a 1500Hz touch sampling rate and 100% DCIP color gamut support.
