Like the bros in this thread, I managed to hoot 16gb/256gb variant for $620 on 3/3 sale. Very good price and specs. I was deciding between this phone and Oneplus Ace 2.

Pros vs Oneplus Ace 2
Cheaper
Faster charging
Better screen

Cons vs Oneplus Ace 2
Inferior build quality
Inferior Battery life

In fact, I am worried about the battery life. Some YouTubers already did a comparison of 3 similar phones in midrange category, this GT Neo 5 being one of them. The battery life of this phone is the worse among the 3. However, reviews on taobao mostly claims battery life is not bad. I hope any battery life issues can be addressed quickly via software updates. Then it's the best in class already. Not sure about Realme's attitude towards updates, since this is my first phone from them. But seeing that a 512gb variant will release very soon, that should put pressure on them to not let the weaker battery life be a glaring issue that detracts from whole user experience. Personally I would prioritise better battery life instead of faster charging.
IMHO one plus Ace 2 look boring. It just look exactly like a clone of one plus 11 (without the Hasselblad word)...

Whereas Gt Neo 5 look nicer.

If can just get gt 3 cos global version. But the price will be expensive.

Just like xiaomi 13 global version.
if GT3 only has the small battery capacity version, then I rather go with GT Neo 5 with the bigger battery

Dunno.. cos the highlight is on the 240W. Just that Neo 5 has also a smaller variant of 150W (5000mah). I guess, those wanted to buy GT3, just hope realme also launched the slower 150w GT3 ba.
