I've received my realme gt neo5, so far everything is great apart from one irritating problem, WhatsApp notifications don't show on always on display, I made sure that all notifications for WhatsApp were allowed,all permissions granted, power saving deactivated, I even tried GT mode, but still I'm not getting WhatsApp notifications on Always on display, the only way to check for WhatsApp new messages is to unlock the device and see..
I guess it might be an issue with the Chinese ROM, I have the latest version updated on the 1st of October that I installed right after getting the device..
The question is, has anybody been facing the same issue? Has anybody tried flashing the global official GT3 firmware on GT Neo5? Does that disable NFC and OTA updates? I can do that myself, but will the device not get any OTA updates if I do it?

Anonymous, 11 Sep 2023Can you explain more how you didn't pay vat or taxes please I believe it is because either he got lucky somehow and managed to avoid it or the UK tax laws are different from the EU's, because my phone arrived and I had to pay vat and a additional 30€ tax because it was held by Lithuanian post.
It's a great phone, better than any samsung I've seen or tested and is worth every cent.

OnePlus 10T:
Better speakers
Better design (personal reference)

I feel like the camera quality is almost the same.

My GT neo 5 (150W) arrived. I bought it from AliExpress for 312£ (12/256). It took 3 weeks .
That's the final price I paid, no tax, no customs, nothing. It's Chinese Rom but it has English language and lots of Chinese pre-installled apps . I managed to unistall most of them the only remaining app is the browser and app market.
The phone is unlocked and I had to install Google apps myself.

I just ordered this phone from AliExpress for 445€, and I had to pay 368€ because if orders cost more than 150€ in AliExpress they are taxed physically through customs. So at least in Lithuania you just have to give the rest of the money to customs, no extra taxes.

Has anyone tried the 5000 mah variant (GT Neo 5) to tell us about the battery life please? I know for a fact that the 4600 variant has got average battery life which is still not good for me despite the super fast charging speed as I won't carry the charger everywhere.. Is there a big difference in battery life between the 4600 and 5000 mah variants?

Anonymous, 15 Aug 2023How did you pay customs and all of that looking to get this phoneCan I ask you please to confirm if the version you have got is the 5000 mah battery and 150 Watt charger? How is the battery life? Any annoying Chinese software that you could not uninstall? Was the phone completely unlocked?
1 final question, sorry to be a pain, have you had to pay customs or taxes in the UK?
