Through a post on Weibo, Realme announced that the Realme GT 5 will be unveiled on August 28 as part of the company’s fifth anniversary celebrations in China.

Realme teases the upcoming mobile phone with the slogan “Leapfrog” (translated from Chinese).
Last week, Realme CMO Xu Qi Chase revealed the specifications of the Realme GT 5. It has been confirmed to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, paired with up to 24GB of onboard storage. It will also offer 240W fast charging support.

The render shows the handset with a slightly curved punched display and thin bezels. The microphone, SIM tray, speaker grille and USB Type-C port are located on the bottom of the device.
