You won’t find a phone like the Realme GT Neo 3 Naruto Edition on a Verizon or AT&T store shelf. For starters, Realme phones are normally only sold as unlocked worldwide versions on Amazon in the United States, and they aren’t always compatible with your wireless carrier’s network.
This model is likewise a limited-edition gadget, with just 5,000 pieces produced, that pays homage to the Naruto anime series.
Either the US populace doesn’t care for limited-edition phones, or manufacturers have determined that selling them here isn’t worth the effort. The most exciting item we appear to be getting is a green iPhone, which is just that: a green iPhone.
When it comes to limited-edition phones, the GT Neo 3 is unrivalled. Realme did not simply put a brand on the box, alter the colour of the phone, and call it a day.
From the UI to the phone’s maroon and green canister, which is fashioned like a ninja scroll, the branding is consistent. Even the SIM ejector tool is designed like the show’s leaf emblem.
But there’s another reason to look at this phone: very rapid charging, which may be something we see here. OnePlus, which is owned by Realme’s parent firm BBK, sells phones that function in the United States.
A variant of the GT Neo 3 (as well as the Naruto Edition) is available with 150W wired charging. Because of the lower standard voltage in the US, Realme representative Tanya Tang warned me that it would only adjust to 125W and that performance would be slower.
