Realme GT5 Pro: A flagship phone with palm unlock and gesture controls

Realme has unveiled its latest flagship phone, the Realme GT5 Pro, in China on December 4, 2023. The phone boasts a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 144Hz OLED screen, a 50MP periscope camera, and some unique features that set it apart from other flagships.

The Realme GT5 Pro shares several specifications with the OnePlus 12, such as the processor, the battery capacity, the wireless charging speed, and the main camera sensor. However, the Realme phone offers a higher refresh rate, a higher resolution display, and a more powerful zoom camera. The Realme GT5 Pro also has a larger heat dissipation area of 12000mm², which the company claims can reduce the CPU temperature by up to 15°C[^1^][1].

One of the most distinctive features of the Realme GT5 Pro is the palm unlock and gesture control system. The phone can recognize the user's palm and unlock the screen by bringing it close to the display. The phone also supports 12 gestures that can be used to control the phone without touching it, such as swiping, tapping, and rotating[^2^][2]. These features are similar to the ones seen on the LG G8 and the Pixel 4, which used infrared sensors and radar chips to enable palm recognition and motion sense.

The Realme GT5 Pro has a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP LYT-808 main camera, a 50MP IMX890 periscope camera, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. The periscope camera can achieve 3x optical zoom, 6x lossless zoom, and up to 100x digital zoom. The phone also has a 32MP selfie camera on the front.

The Realme GT5 Pro runs on Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0 on top. It comes with up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage and up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM. The phone has a 5260mAh battery that supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The phone also has a dual SIM slot, NFC, an infrared port, and stereo speakers. However, it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD card slot.

The Realme GT5 Pro is priced at 3,999 yuan (~$620) for the 8GB/256GB variant, 4,499 yuan (~$700) for the 12GB/512GB variant, and 5,999 yuan (~$930) for the 16GB/1TB variant. The phone is available in white and other colors. The phone is expected to launch in other regions in the first quarter of 2024.
