Bonjour, Ciao and Hello – the Realme GT Neo2 has arrived in Europe, following its launch in Thailand and Malaysia earlier this month and its October launch in India. The phone will be available soon through the company’s official site at realme.com.
The prices are set at €450 for an 8/128 GB unit and €550 for 12/256 GB upgrade (the Old Continent isn’t getting the 8/256 GB option). You will be able to pick from the three standard colorways: Neo Green, Neo Blue and Neo Black.
Realme GT Neo2's best features • The three colorways
Since it has been around for a while, we have a full review of the GT Neo2, which you can consult for details. In short, it has a fast, bright 6.62” AMOLED display (E4) with 120 Hz refresh rate and 600 Hz touch sampling rate. There is 5G connectivity courtesy of the Snapdragon 870 chipset, plus a fast-charging 5,000 mAh battery (65W, 100% in just over 30 minutes) and, finally, a 64 MP main and 8 MP ultra wide cameras on the back.
Note that in Europe the phone arrives with Realme UI 3.0 out of the box, which is based on Android 12, so you won't need to wait for updates.

Realme GT Neo2 goes global with 120Hz display and Snapdragon 870
Realme’s latest product launch brought us the global release of the GT Neo2 alongside several AIoT accessories including a 4K Smart Google TV Stick, a new Bluetooth speaker and a fresh new Closer Green color for the Buds Air 2. Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 was also unveiled on stage too.
GT Neo2 which was originally unveiled in China last month offers a compelling spec list headlined by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 chipset, a 6.6-inch 120Hz Samsung E4 AMOLED screen and a 5,000 mAh battery with 65W charging. The phone also packs a 64MP main camera alongside an 8MP ultrawide snapper and a 2MP macro module.
Realme GT Neo2 comes in Neo Black, Neo Blue and Neo Green colors. The 8GB RAM and 128GB storage version will sell for INR 31,999 ($425) though a special festive offer gets it down to INR 24,999 (332). The 12/256GB trim will go for INR 35,999 ($478) while its early bird price is set at INR 28,999 ($385). First sales of the GT Neo2 are scheduled for midnight October 17.
Realme GT Neo2 arrives with Snapdragon 870 and improved cooling
Realme announced the GT Neo2 smartphone during an event in China. The specs of the new smartphone already leaked multiple times, but now we have a confirmation on the Snapdragon 870 chipset and the 5,000 mAh battery with super-fast charging.
The screen of the Realme GT Neo2 is a 6.6” AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution, and there are many features packed in this Samsung panel. The maximum brightness advertised is 1,300 nits, while the refresh rate is 120 Hz, available to switch in the UI menu in four different steps. The touch sampling rate is also impressive - 600 Hz. There is a single punch hole in the left corner for the selfie camera.
Speaking about cameras, Realme did not emphasize much on the setup during the launch. The triple setup brings a 64 MP primary wide camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 2 MP macro cam.
The performance is where the GT Neo2 is expected to excel. It comes with Snapdragon 870, the only chipset on the market right now that goes up to 3.2 GHz, thanks to its single Kryo 585 core. The SoC is coupled with 6/8/12 GB RAM and 128/256 GB UFS 3.1 storage.
This hardware is clearly not enough to withstand the immense pressure expected from a high-performance gaming smartphone. Hence, Realme brought an innovative cooling gel with actual diamond particles (their size is 40-50 μm). There are also an aerospace-grade graphene sheet and a massive 4,129 sq. mm vapor cooling chamber.
The whole ensemble is expected to lower temperatures by up to 18 degrees Celsius, and overall performance is up to 20% better than the original Realme GT Neo.
There are improvements on the software side as well. The GT Neo2 has Realme UI 2.0 with Android 11 as a base, but it also brings GT Mode 2.0, effectively a high-performance software mode that boosts the hardware to provide the ultimate gaming experience.
There is also a big 5,000 mAh battery to keep the lights on, and charging is 65W over the wire, which should top up the device from 0 to 100% in 36 minutes.
Realme GT Neo2
Realme GT Neo2 is available in three colors, with Black Mint being the show's star. There are also a Blue gradient and plain Black, and while all colors are sold in these three memory combinations - 8/128 GB, 8/256 GB, and 12/256 GB, the Green one is actually available with 6 GB RAM as well.
Prices start from CNY2,399 ($370) and go as high as CNY2,999 ($465). Users can pre-order/register to receive a notification for the first flash sale, scheduled for Monday, September 27.
Company officials later confirmed in a press release that the device will launch globally soon.
