Design
Realme partnered with BYD Electronics for the ‘Miracle Glass‘ on the rear of the GT5 model. The phone features a dual-tone body for the back panel and a large camera island.
Similar to the recent Pixel phones, it also features a visor-like camera module, although, it is much wider. This module features two rings for the cameras on the left. Meanwhile, the right side includes rectangular-shaped LED light strips (dubbed Halo Pro) that offer different colors and a transparent glass window that showcases the Snapdragon chipset.
Display
On the other hand, the front sports a tall 6.74-inch OLED display that offers 1.5K resolution and a high 144Hz refresh rate. The panel also features a center-aligned punch-hole selfie camera.
The new Realme GT5 also features an independent X7 display chip that was developed by PixelWords for an improved visual experience. This screen offers 1400 nits of peak brightness, 2160 PWM dimming, 1.46mm narrow bezels, and a 93.7 percent screen-to-body ratio.
