Even the Realme GT Neo 3’s design is all about speed, at least for the silver and blue color variants. The rear panel has two bands that are reminiscent of the stripes you see on sports cars — placed beside the branding, the company’s tagline, and “50MP Matrix OIS Camera” on the camera module.

That main sensor is a Sony IMX766 with with optical image stabilization, which can also be found in handsets such as Realme 9 Pro Plus, Realme GT 2 and GT 2 Pro, and OPPO Find X5 and Find X5 Pro. It’s assisted by 8-megapixel and 2-megapixel units for ultrawide and macro shots.
