Realme GT Neo 3 150W

  • Incredibly fast 150W charging
  • Excellent endurance rating
  • Good performance for the price
  • Stylish design

  • Camera not as good as Poco F4 GT
  • Dimensity 8100 slightly less powerful than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

Xiaomi Poco F4 GT

  • Good value for money

  • Battery life slightly lower than Realme GT Neo 3
  • Design can be polarizing

Display Comparison

Both phones feature AMOLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth visuals. While both are reported to have 'infinite' contrast ratios (likely a marketing term), real-world performance will be similar. The Poco F4 GT might have slightly better color accuracy due to Xiaomi's calibration, but the difference is minimal.

Camera Comparison

The Poco F4 GT has a more versatile camera system, likely offering better image quality in various conditions. While both phones can record video, the Poco F4 GT's Snapdragon chip typically provides better video processing capabilities. The Realme GT Neo 3's camera is decent, but not a standout feature.

Performance

The Poco F4 GT's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is undeniably the performance leader. It handles demanding games and multitasking with ease. The Realme GT Neo 3's Dimensity 8100 is still a capable chip, but it doesn't quite match the raw power of the Snapdragon. Expect smoother frame rates and faster load times on the Poco F4 GT.

Battery Life

The Realme GT Neo 3 150W takes a commanding lead in battery charging. Its 150W charging can fully charge the battery in around 5 minutes, a truly remarkable feat. The Poco F4 GT's 120W charging is still fast, but not as impressive. While the Poco F4 GT has a slightly lower endurance rating (81h vs 102h), the Realme's charging speed largely negates this difference.

Buying Guide

The Realme GT Neo 3 150W is ideal for users who prioritize incredibly fast charging and don't mind a slightly less powerful chipset. The Xiaomi Poco F4 GT is a better choice for gamers and power users who demand top-tier performance and a robust camera system.
