Realme may be getting to ready to launch the Realme GT Neo 5 SE smartphone in China. As per leaks, the GT Neo 5 SE will launch in march in China. Although Realme hasn’t officially confirmed the launch date.
Earlier, the brand confirmed that the upcoming GT NEO 5 SE will equip Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset. A renowned tipster Digital Chat Station revealed key specifications of the upcoming Realme GT Neo 5 SE specifications.
According to the Digital Chat Station, the GT Neo 5 SE will feature a massive 5,550mAh battery with 110W fast charging support. The tipster claims that it will be the first smartphone in the mid-range category to come with 100W fast charging support. But iQOO’s newly launched Z7 smartphone (Chinese variant) ships with 120W fast charging speed, 20W more compared to the upcoming GT Neo 5 SE. Furthermore, the company will be using the latest “Squeezes out of the lithium battery” technology for the upcoming GT Neo 5 series.
Recently, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE smartphone was listed on the Geekbench benchmark database. The listing suggests some key features of the smartphone. The upcoming GT Neo 5 SE will run on Qulacomm’s latest Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset paired with up to 8GB of RAM and it will boots Android 13.
Realme GT Neo 5 SE is said to have a 6.74-inch 1.5K resolution OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming.

Thoughts and Conclusion
Understanding this is somewhat of a niche product, we do like what the Buddy Beat has to offer users. It’s a great accessory for people who tend to work with their hands and need some helping light.
Similarly, it’s the sort of thing you might want to pack for a camping trip as it not only puts off a fair amount of light, but it provides hours of music, too. You may want to keep the charging cable on hand, though, as your mixed usage could deplete it over the span of busy day. Not to worry, though, as you’ll be full again in under four hours.
Music sounds decent with audio rising up from your shoulders to meet your ears. It’s similar to how bone conduction or earbuds with ambient listening allow for environmental sounds to get through while giving you enough to immerse yourself in a playlist or podcast. Calls sound good, too, and the design gives somewhat of a stereo or surround sound without letting people in the vicinity hear every word.
The LED light is good enough to brighten the immediate area and acts almost like a book light. You can wear this in bed without distracting others, sneak in a comic book under the blankets, or jot down notes in the field.

Google gives a solid reason for YouTube TV Price hike and since June 2020, for the first time, Google has increased the monthly pricing for its live streaming service. The service debuted in 2017 at $35 and the first price hike we saw in June 2020 was from $49 to $64.99.
Previously, Google used to charge $64.99 for a YouTube TV subscription and now due to the rising cost of content, YouTube increased the pricing of its monthly subscriptions to $72.99 per month, according to Google. A whopping $8 price hike from the current monthly plan. Youtube will start to roll out the new pricing for the new members from today itself and the existing subscribers will see the price change starting on 18 April.
“As content costs have risen and we continue to invest in our quality of service, we’ll be adjusting our monthly cost, after 3 years, from $64.99/mo to $72.99/mo, in order to bring you the best possible TV service,” YouTube said in a tweet.
However, Google decreased the 4K Plus add-on package plan pricing from $19.99 to $9.99 per month and there was no explanation from Google why the pricing was brought down to half.
Subscribers will get over 100+ channels with no additional fees, a DVR with unlimited storage, 3 concurrent streams, and up to 6 accounts per household. Recently, YouTube TV introduced a Multiview feature that allows users to watch up to four different streams simultaneously.

According to the leaks, the base iQOO Neo 8 model is said to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and it might come with 120W fast charging.
