Realme has officially confirmed the launch of the Realme GT 5 on August 28 in China, coinciding with the company’s fifth-anniversary celebrations. The event will also see the introduction of the Realme Buds Air 5 true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones. The Realme GT 5 is set to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and is expected to feature up to 24GB of RAM. In addition to these details, a render of the device’s design has been shared by a well-known tipster ahead of the launch. The leaked render displays a gently curved screen featuring a central hole-punch cutout.
Realme’s upcoming handset is generating excitement with the tagline “Leapfrog” (translated from Chinese) and will support 240W fast charging, a feature that has been confirmed by the company’s CMO Xu Qi Chase. The event is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm local time (11:30pm IST) in China.
Furthermore, a leaked render of the Realme GT 5’s design has emerged on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, revealing the front view of the device.

The microphone, SIM tray, speaker grille, and USB Type-C port are positioned at the bottom of the device.
The Realme GT 5 is anticipated to succeed the Realme GT 3, which was launched earlier during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023. The Realme GT 3 featured a 6.74-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. It was powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 8+ Gen SoC and offered up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
