At the beginning of the year, Realme, the Chinese smartphone brand, has launched a high-end device, the Realme GT Neo 5 (240W), with an exceptional battery in terms of autonomy, recharge and efficiency. But how good is its performance in real life? To find out, the device was entrusted to DxOMark (Battery) which measures battery behavior under a variety of common scenarios and use cases.
Realme GT Neo 5 (240W) has the "fastest" battery in the world (DxOMark)
Let's start with the specifications, the Realme GT Neo 5 (240W) has a battery capacity of 4600 mAhe comes with a 240 W charger, which is the most powerful on the market. The device also has a OLED display from 6,74 inch with a resolution of 1240 x 2772 and a refresh rate of 144Hz, providing a smooth and sharp visual experience. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 (4nm), which ensures high performance and low power consumption.
Going to the DxOMark Battery test, this is based on three main categories: range, recharge and efficiency. Battery life measures how long your device's battery lasts before running out. Recharge measures how long it takes to fully recharge the battery and how much range is recovered after a quick charge. Efficiency measures how well the device manages energy consumption during charging and discharging. User experience evaluates the quality of the user interface and battery-related features.
The Realme GT Neo 5 (240W) got a overall score of 147, which places it second in the global ranking and al #400 High-End Ranking ($599-$XNUMX). His score was determined by the following subscores: 118 for autonomy, 218 for charging and 129 for efficiency.
Il score higher than the Realme GT Neo 5 (240 W) was that of the recharge, where he got an incredible 218, which is the best so far in our database. The device only took 11 minutes to fully recharge its battery from 0 to 100%, which is nearly four times faster than the average of the tested devices. Also, after a quick charge of suns 5 minutes, the device has recovered a very high autonomy of 16 hours and minutes 35, which is enough to cover nearly a full day of average use.
Il range score of the Realme GT Neo 5 (240W) was 118, which is slightly above the average of the tested devices. The device lasted 2 days and 7 hours when used moderately, which is a very good result considering its battery capacity and technical specifications. However, the battery life was below average when the device was used on the go or listening to music. Furthermore, the battery life was average for individual uses such as calling or watching videos. A point in favor of the device was the autonomy during gaming, where it achieved 9 hours and minutes 7which is very good compared to other devices.
Il efficiency score of the Realme GT Neo 5 (240W) was 129, which is average for the tested devices. The device showed good charging efficiency, with low power consumption during charging and good temperature management. However, the residual power consumption of the charger when the fully charged device was still plugged in was high, meaning that the charger was still consuming power even when it wasn't needed. Furthermore, the consumption of the charger itself was the highest in our database, implying that the charger has low energy efficiency. The efficiency of the discharge currents was average overall, except for games, where the discharge current was low, meaning that the device is quite well optimized for this use.
In conclusion, the GT Neo 5 (240W) has proven to have a exceptional battery in terms of charging, proving to be the fastest in the world. The device also offered good battery life and efficiency, making it suitable for daily and intensive use.
