Anon, 07 Aug 2023I wonder how long this phone might last in terms of longevi... moreI also have the same thoughts, but from past experiences with my honor note 10, which was also cheap, it has lasted a few years. Apart from the battery not lasting as long, the phone is perfectly fine and is still as fast as when I first bought it.
I think the phones build quality is fine, and higher priced phones are basically over priced. This phone uses plastic and rubber with makes the phone lighter and cheaper than one made with glass and aluminum.
This isn't a cheap quality phone, it's more like an upper midrange flagship killer sold at a very cheap price. I'm guessing the profit margin on this phone is lower, because they intend to sell a lot of these phones in India and similar markets. A billion adults in India means big profits if they sell a lot of phones.

Back in 2019 i bought the redmi k20 pro and it's 4 years old and still going strong i passed it down to my brother and I'm using this phone. Chinese phones will last for as long as any samsung or iPhone will last.

I wonder how long this phone might last in terms of longevity due to its price. It may be cheaply made just like all the other specced out phones under $400

been using this phone for a month now,bought 16gb/1TB version for RM 1500,first time using CN rom...anyway i'm really satisfied with this phone,all functions works great,NFC no problem,most impressive is battery life,since average SOT is 7 hours so i just need to charge the phone on alternate days...my gut is right,Snapdragon 7+ gen 2 is more than enough for gaming for me.

KazooieTheBird, 31 Jul 2023Isn't Asus rog 6 like 5 to 6 times the price of gt neo... moreYou can get the Asus ROG 6 very cheap on AliExpress. The GT neo 5 has the snapdragon 8+ gen 1, slightly better camera and faster charging, but I do think the GT 5 se is the better option based on the lower price.
I was just looking at more phones and realized that another good option is the OnePlus Nord 3. My new options if I didn't buy this phone would be either the Neo GT5, OnePlus Nord 3, OnePlus 11R, Poco f5 or Asus ROG 6.
GT 5 se £240, GT 5 £300, one plus Nord 3 £350, OnePlus 11R £380 and Asus ROG £400. Im not totally keen on the look of the Asus but the big battery, fast charging, no punch hole in the oled screen, powerful specs and fantastic stereo speakers does appeal to me.
The only problem I have with all of these phones including this one is the aspect ratio. I'm not keen on the 20:9 ratio, this screen is supposed to be 6.7 inches but looks small compared to my 6.9" honor note 10.
But, at the price I paid for this phone, nothing beats it, based on a price to performance ratio.

FLEX, 30 Jul 2023if you dont mind me asking is it global now or do we have t... moreYou can buy the global rom version, it's called the GT 3. This is my 4th phone purchased from China with a Chinese rom and I can honestly say it really isn't a big deal if the phone supports your language. After deleting the bloatware, Chinese apps and making a few changes it's just like using a phone with the global rom.
The biggest benefit is the price, if you buy the phone with the global rom, its selling for a much higher price. Buying the chinese rom version will save you a lot of money.

After checking on nano review and a few other websites, it seems the phone supports wifi 6 and 7. I also realized that there is no point worrying about it, unless your home router supports wifi 6, so buying a phone based on whether it supports wifi 6 isn't necessary. It will help with future proofing, once you upgrade your home router, but really isn't that big of a deal given the current speeds of home fibre broad band
I have virgin broadband and it's extremely fast, I have no idea if it supports wifi 6 and even if it doesn't, I have super fast broad and that's all that really matters.
If you're having doubts about this phone then try the Poco F5, the Vivo iqoo 11 or even the Asus ROG 6 which has a massive 6000mah battery, supports all the 5G 4G and 3G bands in the UK and has 65w fast charging.
After this phone the next for me would be the Realme GT neo 5 or the Asus ROG 6 as it's selling for a good price, its extremely powerful, and is fully compatible with all the UK mobile networks.

I've had this phone for about a week, and I can honestly say, this is one of the best phones you can buy at this price. I paid £216 on Ali express, and it arrived at my front door in 11 days. The camera is fine for me, I don't need to take professional pictures. The the oled screen is beautiful and very bright. The Chinese rom is not a problem, after deleting most of the Chinese bloatware and changing a few things, it's like using a global rom phone.
The 5500mah is amazing and the charging speed is crazy fast. I charge the battery when it drops to 20% and stop charging when it's charged to about 92% full. I wasn't sure if I should have brought the Neo GT 5 instead because it has even faster charging speeds but without a doubt I made the right choice with the GT 5 se.
Also, the speakers are very loud and the sound quality is superb, very powerful phone. The price to performance ratio of this phone is UNBELIEVABLE AND UNBEATABLE
