The Realme GT Neo2 arrived in the last week as the fifth device in the Realme GT series. The device is a direct sequel for the Realme GT Neo that was released in March this year with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. The new variant takes a step beyond the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870, which happens to be slightly faster than the Dimensity 1200. Also, the new handset comes with a larger display and a bigger battery. The 5,000mAh battery is the bigger in the whole GT series. Apparently, Realme fans are enjoying the package of specifications. The device has struck great balance as the units were flying off the shelves. According to the latest reports, the Realme GT Neo2 has sold 100,000 units in a single day.
The Chinese brand took it to social media to celebrate selling over 100,000 units in the first day of market availability. Apparently, there is still plenty of units to be sold as the device is still available for purchase today on Realme China’s website. Despite the crisis in the semiconductor industry that delayed smartphone launches, Realme seems to have a good amount of GT Neo2 units to sell in these first days.
