Realme Q5 teased with faster charging, Q5 Pro x Vans version leaks

Peter, 11 April 2022

The Realme Q2 series reached 1 million sales seven months after launch. Around the same time the Q3 series was teased – one year later the Q3 phones have reached 2 million sales. What’s next?

Realme CMO Xu Qi Chase is teasing the arrival of the Q5 series on Weibo (skipping number 4, of course). The teaser is tucked beneath the 2 million sales announcement and promises “new surprises for flash charging”.

The bottom row lists 30W, 65W and a question mark, which will likely be filled in with 80W. That is the rumored charge rate for the Realme Q5 Pro, which will be equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery. This matches one of the configurations of the GT Neo3.

The Realme Q5 Pro will be a more affordable version of the Neo. It is expected to have a 6.62” AMOLED display (1,080 x 2,400 px) with 120 Hz refresh rate and an HDR10+ certification. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 870 paired with 8/12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Additional rumored specs include a 64 MP main camera on the rear, an 8 MP ultra wide-angle cam (119°) and a 2 MP macro module. On the front, a 16 MP selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint reader. The USB-C cable will also have to carry audio (no 3.5 mm jack, by the sound of it), but it will be Hi-Res Audio certified. The phone will also boast stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos.

These specs may not be 100% accurate, they are a mix of the TENAA listing and rumors. The Q5 Pro sounds a lot like a GT Neo2 with faster charging (up from 65W).

A special edition of the Realme Q5 Pro leaked early – a collaboration with Vans that will bring over the popular checkerboard design from shoes to what looks like glass. Notice that this is a photo of a promo poster being mocked up in Photoshop, so the design might not be finalized.

This poster matches the phone design seen on TENAA with a triple camera arranged in a triangle and two separate LED flashes, which again is a callback to the GT Neo2. More on the Realme Q5 soon as it is expected to go official later this month.

Man its just number nothing else. Huawei and Honor also did not skipped number 4. Same goes for Samsung or Nokia or Oppo Reno 4 etc. Skipping number 4 is stupid.
