Realme GT5 will keep LED light on the back, official teasers reveal.

Realme GT5 is arriving on August 28, and today, the company revealed the design of the phone. It will have three cameras and an LED light on the back, but this time the island spans from one side to the other, similar to what Google has implemented in its Pixel phones in the past few generations.

Teasers also confirmed a 5,240 mAh battery with 240W fast charging and a SuperVOOC S power management chip that will take care of the cell.

The design of the camera island reminded us of the Realme GT3 with the duo of circles for the cameras. However, the LED rectangle is now sitting vertically, it doesn't have tacky writing, and we can only see “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2”, “SuperVOOC”, and “NFC” - somewhat relevant features.

Realme CEO Wu Qi Chase said the new looks is achieved with a “breakthrough glass technology in the mobile industry” and will be the best-looking smartphone in the history of the brand. The hero color is called “Flowing Silver Mirror” (machine translated) and will be a product of “hot forging glass curving” for ultimate aesthetics.

The smartphone will also come with a separate display chip for optimized visual performance and increased refresh rate. It will have a 24 GB RAM + 1 TB storage option and will be just a warm-up for the Realme GT5 Pro, expected later this year with a third-gen Snapdragon 8 chipset by Qualcomm.

The iQOO Z8 popped up on our radar earlier this month for the first time and we expect the handset to be announced in September. Today we got some extra info straight from AnTuTu, confirming some of the specs we already knew and adding some more to the list.

As initially expected, the device will feature a Dimensity 8200 SoC and the AnTuTu listing reveals that it will have a configuration with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Android 13 with OriginOS 3.0 on top are covering the software side, but once the phone makes it outside of China, Funtouch OS will take over.

According to previous rumors, the device will feature 120Hz LCD IPS with FHD+ resolution and a 6.64-inch diagonal. A 5,000 mAh battery and 120W fast charging are also on the suspect list, along with a 16MP selfie cam and a 64MP main shooter with OIS

Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 15 series in September, and the Pro Max member of the family will be the first smartphone with a periscope camera. According to one analyst, this feature could now cause a delay as Sony is allegedly unable to supply enough sensors time.
The disruption is likely to push the iPhone 15 Pro Max deliveries back by four weeks as per 9to5Mac, who quoted the “major equity analyst note”.
The Apple iPhone 15 series announcement is likely to take place on September 13, with pre-orders to open on September 15, and deliveries should commence seven days later. However, with the expected three to four-week delay, the Pro Max deliveries could be pushed between October 6 and October 13.
Delays in production are nothing new to Apple – the iPhone XR arrived later than the XS series due to late shipments of components to Pegatron. The same thing happened two years later, when the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max had to make way to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro.
There were reports that the screen deliveries were behind schedule, as OLED makers LG and BOE weren't able to keep up with requirements, pushing Apple to increase the demand from Samsung. We haven't heard anything in the past few weeks, suggesting Cupertino has managed to address the issue.
